Bible Question: Is there a difference between Elders, Counselor's and Judges? |
Bible Answer: The best place I have found for foundational truths concerning the Church, is the first and second letters to Timothy. 1Ti 5:17 The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. To continue to rely upon the Bible for wisdom, see Deu 25:1 "If there is a dispute between men and they go to court, and the judges decide their case, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked Finally, According to Holman's Bible Dictionary, a COUNSELOR is: One who analyzes a situation and gives advice to one who has responsibility for making a decision. Israelite kings seem to have employed counselors on a regular basis. My feelings are that the Kings replaced the Judges -in the Old Testament, starting with King Saul. However, today all three are in common usage. I would consider the verse above to be wise counsel. :o) Blessings, to you, Deacon |
