Hi, justme... In the old days reverend was not used so much as the word divine. As I understand it, these titles were not so much honorifics as our culture tends to think of them. Instead, they were acknowledgements that Christ -- as Head of the Church -- had selected specific men to minister to the flock. Thus, this calling was recognized by the congregants, and acknowledged through "the common suffrage of the church itself". (In school, when any of my professors were ordained, I would still call them pastor, in the spirit of recognition of Christ's calling on their lives.) In this Biblical sense, therefore, using the title pastor or reverend, would be submitting to the Lord, acknowledging His authority over us in His church. The apostles, of course, were specifically chosen by Christ and directly witnessed His appearing to them. There are only twelve apostles (see Revelation 21:14). In Him, Doc |

Doc: We are in total agreement. Respect for Elders and yes, professors, which I considered a honnor to be under their teaching. A true Elder person in the Lord Jesus Christ is getting to be seldom found in todays culture. Getting to know youuand seeing how yo communicate and instruct the way of the LORD is a special blessing as well. Our dear brother Hank was indeed an Elder. Blessings to you Doc. |

Doc: Suffering is what Jesus endured for us, but I feel sure we have no idea what Jesus took upon Himself for us. I believe the physical pain he endured. The unbelievable pain of carring the weight of our sins, we can't grasp at all. We can't imagine what the pain of sins of the whole WORLD, what would that felt like, or to die with? Even the fact that it was impossible for God to turn away from His son, Jesus's pain surely felt like it. How can we more fully grasp what the pain and cost of our sins really took for Christ to prove how much Jesus Christ loves us. Each of us are the "one lost sheep" Jesus has gone after. One at a time Jesus has sought and went looking for each of us, one at a time. So awesome and most likely we can not even grasp His love. I can'treally grasp what real LOVE is. Do we really suffer? I think not, ONLY JESUS KNOWS WHAT IT IS TO REALLY SUFFER. Blessings. |
