The Kentucky county clerk facing potentially stiff penalties for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses has been married four times, raising questions of hypocrisy and selective application of the Bible to her life.
The marriages are documented in court records obtained by U.S. News, which show that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis divorced three times, first in 1994, then 2006 and again in 2008.
She gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband. They were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second. Davis worked at the clerk's office at the time of each divorce and has since remarried.
Davis has described her desire to strictly adhere to the Bible in stark terms and thus far has shown no sign of bending to court orders on same-sex marriage. She said Tuesday she fears going to hell for violating "a central teaching" of the Bible if she complies with the orders.

To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife.
If she is indeed a believer she wont lose her salvation based on her serial divorces but she will likely face a bit of pain as a result.
So the MSM sits in judgment of us all now.
I thought their job was to report the news.
They did not waste a minute of time digging up dirt on this county clerk. This is Alinskyism in action.
The personal destruction starts.
Well, just wait til they print all the dirt about the gay activists . . . oh, you’ve been waiting?
Only people who have never sinned are qualified to take a moral stand. Evidently.
Everything for the Party, Comrades!
I believe she possibly made some statement to the effect that she was only a Christian, or a true one, in recent years. The statement mentioned going to church at the request of her dying mother-in-law.
That said, it’s been the secular humanists goal to pull down society into sexual anarchy, in the hope that then no one can say anything about anyone else.
So what? She is right to ignore the lawless Supreme Court. Everyone knows the Supreme Court just made shit up and totally abused its power in its fictional ruling based on nothing more than their personal elitist feelings. I’d like to see more stand up against these tyrants who are pissing on the constitution and scribbling whatever they like into it and then we are just supposed to behave like its the law of the land which it most certainly isn’t. I don’t care whether the lady is child molestor. She is right and we all know it but most are simply too cowardly to do anything about it.
Homosexual sodomy is clearly a greater sin than the normal adultery.
So, did she marry four women?
This is a good reminder that if you take a public stand, you will be put under a microscope and you will be attacked. If not for one thing, then for another.
Nice catch!
“In addition to my desire to serve the people of Rowan County, I owe my life to Jesus Christ who loves me and gave His life for me. Following the death of my godly mother-in-law over four years ago, I went to church to fulfill her dying wish. There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. I am not perfect. No one is. But I am forgiven and I love my Lord and must be obedient to Him and to the Word of God.”

Yep
Did she come to Christ before or after her divorces?
In Michigan Democrats are trying to force faith based adoption agencies to provide victims to the predators.

Staver says its not really relevant, its something that happened in her past and that her conversion to Christianity about four years ago wiped her slate clean. Its something thats not relevant to the issue at hand, he says. She was 180 degrees changed.
If true, she is not a hypocrite. She is forgiven and is trying to live right.
The only hypocrisy here is that of the Left and US News and World Report.
