“The Pastor” of a church, ministry or whatever …
Is a phrase and a concept utterly absent from the New Testament.
Nope, not, nada …
It just ain’t there.
Instead, it comes from reading post-Biblical assumptions, presumptions and meanings not found in Scripture back into Scripture.
In the New Testament, some minister pastorally …
As simply one of many different functions expressed within a healthy church by a diversity of people.
But it is never used in the original language of the New Testament as a title or office …
Nor as justification for one person to be over a church.
Be a Berean …
Search Scripture to see if these things be so.
Then have the courage to follow what God’s Word actually says …
Rather than subsequent human traditions.
