AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 18:18 ¶ A certain ruler asked Him, "Good Teacher [You who are essentially and morally good], what shall I do to inherit eternal life [that is, eternal salvation in the Messiah's kingdom]?" [Matt 19:16-29; Mark 10:17-30] |
Bible Question: Why do those of you who use the title PASTOR, REV., OVERSEER, ELDER, DEACON, DR., or something simular do so? Is the use of these titles a way of assueing me you know more than me, or that you have more spirituallity? For me these titles are used by the Church you belong to or the denomination with whom you belong to. In this Forum we are just men and women exchanging questions, or attempting to understand the Bible better. I personally find the use of these titles in the Forum forcing others to show respect to your title, rather than the Bible wisdom you have. Any thoughts? |
Bible Answer: Hi Justme, I for one agree with you. I also think if Jesus were here, he too would agree since he said in Luke 18:18, "Jesus replied: “Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God." Jesus here recognized that his God was "good" in the ultimate since. We know of course, that he was still "good" but in a lesser yet still perfect since. His life of humility was an example for us all. That's why I like your name, "justme". Truthfinder |
