Everybody must have a pastor?

[good samaritan]

The Bible says nowhere that a man needs another man as a covering. A woman on the other hand covers her head to symbolize the authority over head which is the man. A lady is submissive to her husband, but the man is to protect her and care for her (lead his family). The Lord is the leader protector of the man (and the woman as well). Leadership is essential, but submission shouldn't be demanded. As a man, to feel that I need another man as a covering of protection over me is against my masculinity and also God's word. We are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. The idea that a minister is going to stand in between us and God takes us back to the law of Moses.

A person is wise to be submitted to the God called ministries that is in the Church when they are operating under the direction of God. I have seen pastors before idolized to a degree that people were made to feel like the pastor should not mow his own yard and people should be eager to jump in and serve him. That is not what I see in the scriptures at all. Of course we should honor those who labor in the work of God, but not above that is written.

Submission is a choice and there are natural checks and balances that restrict submission. If someone is a manipulator then many people will read through that an avoid them. If people sense that we are being led of the Lord and we are not self motivated, submission occurs natural and freewill (except for those cases of people who won't submit to anything but self). Submission should also occur in every direction. Not just in one direction upward as in some hierarchy of earthly power.

The apostles and church leaders where found submitting more than anyone. How many days and nights do you suppose the apostles neglected their own wants in order to help others to come to the Lord. The question on this thread is asked in a dogmatic way (as to tear down pastoral leadership as we know it today). The scriptures say that God gave some pastors and so it is obvious that it is a necessary part of the church. Why wouldn't everyone want a pastor in their life? I think the problem is the role of a pastor that is misunderstood with so many. I think the question should not be should everyone have a pastor, but instead what is the biblical role of a pastor.
