>>The scripture as you interpret it says a Church Leader must be married, therefore Paul is not fit for leadership.<<

Or Jesus, and all of the apostles, knew that Paul had been married, had successfully raised a family and had proven himself.

Or Jesus, and all of the apostles, knew that Paul had been married, had successfully raised a family and had proven himself.

Irrelevant.

According to scripture, he did not have a wife. I don't see a "proven himself" escape clause in there. If you're going to interpret scripture this way, be consistent.
