Bible Question:
Do we have biblical examples of the appointment of ministers or pastors in the church. Thanks for your help |
Bible Answer: Hi dbondz: Welcome to the forum! 1 Tim 3:1-7 gives the guidelines for overseers, or what we would call today, pastors. Then v8-13 goes on to describe the qualifications for deacons and, In regard to woman v11 does not describe exactly what office a women may serve in (see Phill 1:1) but simply stats she must be, “dignified, not a malicious gossip, but temperate and faithful in all things”. Though she does fall in the text of describing deacons. Note, that Romans 16:1 speaks of, “our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church” Acts 6:2 also show’s us that pastors should devote their time to the study of god’s word, to better instruct others. This is where women, elders, deacons, sunday-school-teachers and the like, can really help a pastor better preform his duties. I hope this helped you. God bless John |
