“Elevating Pastors”

[JamesGlen]

My teenage daughter recently asked me, “daddy, do you think pastors are elevated too much?”

This is the day after a visiting minister came(last night).
I hadn’t said a word about it, she just came up and asked me.

I responded sometimes I believe it’s likely.


So my question to you good brethren is, what are some examples of “over elevating a pastor?”

Is it possible?
If so, please give some REASONABLE examples?


Without question there are varying opinions...


It Does seem kind of strange to me that, the word pastor in the singular is not even mention in the New Testament KJV, and only mentioned one time in the plural, and yet their names are on the sign out front of the majority of church buildings, and atleast in the upc they are titled Reverend, and held very highly as God’s man, or mediator/messenger between God and man. Hence they are the tithe receipients.

Not out to slam pastors in this thread, but I am however looking to see some of your thoughts along w examples on over elevating pastors, and why it is over elevating IYO.

Like maybe over elevating in other religions, or demons, or even our Pentecostal fellowships....

No doubt there are on the other side of the coin, “under elevating pastors”....I’m interested in examples of those as well.
