Who is weighing carefully what is said? Who is going to object if they weigh, and come up short? These days, no one is going to correct "the pastor" if they feel he is wrong. There is no one in the church to do so. Or as the KJV says - 'to judge'.
Or:
James 5:14 (English Standard Version)
14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him,(A) anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Our New Modern Version would have to read: if anyone is sick, let him call the pastor.
The NT model seemed to be based upon a group of men who led the church. Not just one man. |
Why do you think a pastor is the same thing as a prophet?
