Re: Should we teach others to rebel against standa

I love, support and submit to my elders. I listen to their wisdom and preaching carefully, consider them to be called by God for their job. But I refuse all the unbiblical rhetoric of exaltation of the Pastor above measure, calling them implicitly or explicitly THE spokesman of God, or THE angel of God, or THE mediator between God and me. Pretty much they want to equate the prophets of old with the pastor, or Moses or a priest. They always forget that we are the body of Christ, all filled with the Holy Spirit, and He is the head. We are all priests, any of the assembly can be used to prophesy, teach and such.
Elders are there to set order and make sure the teaching is correct and everyone in the assembly is being fed. But that does not make them THE priest or THE prophet. That rhetoric is all false doctrine and self-serving, typical of cults.
