Covering doctrine?

I remember being in a service where there were two guys in the pulpit. One guy was preaching. The other was turning Bible pages and wiping the sweaty brow of the other. I was told by the person sitting next to me that the one preaching was the Apostle and the one flipping pages, and sopping sweat was the "armor bearer?" Who is your covering? Scripturally, the Lord is your shepherd you shall not lack. I'll go with that. When you climb the pole of who is your pastor you end up with someone up the chain who surprisingly has no one they are accountable. Also, can't see how someone thousands of miles away can be headship to anyone. Accountability has to be in the same place where you are working. Being accountable to Brother Foofoofnick who lives no where around you is pretty useless. Don't get me wrong you can have elders who you confide in, and are mentors, men you respect, who don't live close. But accountability must be right there with you, Men who see what is going on when its going on.

Makes me think of the verse...

Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

Now that'll preach.

It goes back to my religious training, kind of a default in the way I process information in my mind about people I don't know, who appear to be used by God in an unusual way. I assure you I meant no harm in my question.

I think every professing Christian should have a Pastor.

You are not asking this question from a place of genuine concern.

I'll take that as a no.

You think every professing Christian should have a pastor? What exactly does that look like in your world? I mean you do a lot of moving from church to church. What is your description of a pastor in the life of a professing Christian?
What is their role, and what is the role of the professing Christian?

I started to respond to your questions. I typed out responses for you. Then it dawned on me that since you aren't genuinely concerned, I have little to nothing to gain from interacting with you.

Unfortunately, that is how it has been with you for the vast majority of my time on AFF. You do NOTHING to add to, encourage, or build me and honestly, I don't think I've read much of anything from you that adds to, encourages, or builds up anyone. Your online demeanor is terrible and I can hardly think of an interaction with you where I turned off my phone or computer thanking God for interacting with you. You are not a breath of fresh air, regardless of the fact that you present yourself as an evangelist.

There are people with whom I have formed positive relationships, even if online based only.

You are not one of them and it isn't because of me. You conduct yourself on here like a smelly body part.

So go kick rocks. Interaction with you is not needed.
