A married American pastor and prophetess have sparked controversy after reportedly introducing another woman, said to be a member of their church, as their new wife.

According to the circulating account, the couple announced to their congregation that they had entered a polygynous marriage, claiming the arrangement was the will of God.

The announcement has raised serious questions about religious leadership, marriage and the use of divine authority to justify personal decisions.

One question many people are asking is whether a religious leader's claim that God approved something should automatically place that decision beyond criticism.

At what point do we begin to distinguish personal desires from what religious leaders describe as God's instructions?

And to Christians who believe marriage should be between one man and one woman, how would you respond if your pastor stood before the congregation and made this announcement?
