1 | Pastors and Salaries | 1 Cor 9:10 | CDBJ | 52402 | ||
The word pastors in the NT, comes to us from Eph. Ephes. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; A pastor is actually a gift from the Lord. It is the Greek word (POIMEN) and carries the connotation of a shepherd. It should be tied together with (DIDASKALOS) which is one who teaches. Jeremiah adds the first light on the subject. Jeremiah 2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. Jeremiah 22:22 The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness. Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. I hope this helps, CDBJ |

2 | Is a Pastor the same as..... | 1 Cor 9:10 | byron | 52473 | ||
Is a Pastor the same then as an O.T. priest? This is what you are comparing it to. Well what I was wondering is how this has changed in N.T. with the setting up of the Elders and Deacon’s? Hebrews 4:14-15 That is why we have a great High Priest who has gone to heaven, Jesus the Son of God. Let us cling to him and never stop trusting him. 15This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same temptations we do, yet he did not sin. John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. This says that Jesus is our Shepard and High Priest (Pastor) do we need more? He paid the price of our sins once and for all and is capable of leading us to where we need to go. So I ask again why a Pastor and where does it come from? |
