Re: Everybody must have a pastor?
At what point should those who are in constant, life long need of a pastor change the word pastor to priest?
Does everybody need a priest? If not, why not? And if not, then how can everybody need a pastor at all times forever? Many pastors today give counsel and receive confession, know everything going on in a person's life, including at times the marriage bed, and even indirectly absolve those who have sinned by telling them God has forgiven them or that they can now be reinstated as members, or into a ministry, or whatever.
It's not much different than a catholic priest, when everything else that might be different is boiled down and away.
