Glad someone else thought this a bit interesting -- I had almost decided to dismiss it as a NLYP curiosity.

What I simply mean is that I would be alot more apt to take advice or even rebuke from a fellow minister then just a saint or someone with no spiritual authority in my life.
I am a whole lot more able and willing to admit my shortcoming to another man of God that may know a little more of what a minister goes through then just a "poster".
Hope that explains what I mean.

Yes, this may be the clearest explanation of the great divide between lay and clergy I have ever seen. And I've seen some clear ones.

OK, folks, on this side of the gap, we laymen must never speak of anyone on the other side, except in a fawning, adoring, approving tone. We may beat each other up, but we mustn't touch the anointed across the chasm.

On their side, they and only they can point out the specks in each other's eye. And the planks in ours, of course. We are "just saints", after all. We don't know what a minister "goes through". We don't know much of anything, I suppose.

Oh! So this explains why you never responded to my post on this thread.

Does it count if I have a Theology degree from a UPC Bible College? I am not active in ministry but is that enough of a qualification that you could at least read my post and consider it?
