No. I don't believe I'm qualified. I don't want to be a pastor, or any kind of minister. I'm a follower of Christ, and that is enough.

But you can have fun thinking what you want about me even though you don't know me. Nice try!

What is the biblical qualifications for a pastor? Would you care to elaborate?

What I don't understand is why no one fits the bill from the modern age and specifically from the U.S.

These are your words. I was just curious.

Please show your authority on this position and please give us your qualifications of a pastor, since you say no one fits the qualifications of a pastor in this modern age.

The Apostle Paul teaches no specifications for a pastor. There are qualifications for bishop, elder, and deacon given by Paul, and that is it.

No. I'm not obligated to show you anything.

Fine then I will make some obscure reference that is based on my opinion and then refuse to back up my opinion with a respectful answer.

The middle of the earth is full of strawberries.

I agree with this.
