Pastor Or Reverend???

Sheep,

Why are you so scared to deal with the texts that actually deal with the office of Pastor/bishop/elder? This is really amazing. Sure Christian character is part of the qualifications of leadership, but it tells us nothing about the actual role and model of leadership in the early church. Deal with the verses I have posted or it is obvious you are obfuscating the argument.

Sheep,

What is an elder? What is a pastor? What is a bishop? What are they to do? Are they to be compensated? None of these issues have even been dealt with. Each has been totally and conveniently avoided. Why? Because the Bible teaches that there a specific offices in the church and gives us the qualifications of those men. It also makes it clear those men are to compensated, respected, submitted to, and shown honor. Will you ever stop beating around the bush? Maybe its because you know you are wrong??? It sure seems that way.

One more thing, if I had been your pastor I would have equipped you so you would have been much less likely to join a cult group like the HR. I pour myself into the people and I spend hours every week teaching them the truth and doctrines of the faith. I dont focus on 'tithing' we teach on giving but my bigger concern is their souls. if I have to get a second job I will but I care for my people, they need me to teach them all of God's truth.
