Isn't this what I have been trying to say? We pile 90% of the honor on the pastors, and the Bible says whichever we consider to be "less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour".

Maybe we should be looking to honor the custodian, but we instead heap all of our honor on the pastor.

Hey, I didn't say it, but I did quote it. It's Bible!!!

Ok who are the sheep and who is the shepherd. In context of 1 Peter 5 Peter is calling himself a elder because he was a Bishop the Apostle of the churches. Writing to the Elders meaning this was written to plural churches for they all were poimen Pastors. Over the sheep. Not everybody is a pastor or shepherd or Elder.

And what I wrote about Revelations was not a commentary but a definition. I showed proof in chapter 2 that was a person it was written to in verse 24 it shows it plainly "BUT UNTO YOU I SAY, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden." Who is the UNTO YOU then?

The word Pastor by definition means "the presiding officer, manager, director, of any assembly: so of Christ the Head of the church, of the overseers of the Christian assemblies." So stop with the shenanigans, how our you going to refute this?
