Amen all Glory to God, thanks for His Grace and Mercy as my heart and soul hurts for my sins, but my faith grows under tribulations and the hunger of reading His Word and keep submitting to it, yet I need more of His Grace as I do depend on it.

Jesus was speaking to his disciples and instructing them not to have authority over each other. Every real Christian knows not to try and take the place of Jesus Christ or God the Father. A teacher teaches and a preacher preaches.

The Apostle Paul is NOT claiming to be the "wise master builder." He is saying that the grace that was given to him by God was given in the same way a wise master builder would delegate tasks. The underlying Greek word is the origin of our english word Archetect. God is the Archetect of the church, not Paul. Paul would be mortified to hear God robbed of that praise.

No one in the New Testament held the title "Pastor." Jesus explicitly commanded against such titles among His followers, emphasizing humility and equality. In Matthew 23:8-10, Jesus says, "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah." He taught that His disciples should not elevate themselves above others with honorific titles but rather serve one another as equals, reflecting true Christian humility and brotherhood. This instruction contrasts sharply with the modern practice of assigning titles like "Pastor," which create hierarchical distinctions that Jesus commanded against. Prove me wrong. Be the first person to name one person in the NT with the title of Pastor, and I will send you $1000. Anyone calling themselves Pastor is deceiving others and violating Christ command. In the New Testament, no one is specifically referred to with the title "Pastor," "Reverend," or "Minister" as an official title. While the roles of shepherding (pastoring) and ministering are described, they are not used as formal titles for individuals. For example: - The term "pastor" (poimen) is used in Ephesians 4:11 to describe a role within the church, but it is not used as a title for a specific person. - The term "minister" (diakonos) is used to describe servants or deacons within the church, such as in Philippians 1:1, but again, it is not a formal title. Thus, in the New Testament, these terms describe functions and roles rather than official titles given to individuals.

Your argument is deficient, and you are exceeding the parameter of application contained in Christ's words. Yes, no man is to proudly elevate himself above others within Christian service. But titles are perfectly fine, as long as they are not invested with undue loftiness and significance. It's all about humility and servitude, qualities the Pharisees lacked. My brother constantly quotes and applies the 1 John statement: "You have no need that any man teach you," completely out of context. In fact, he desperately needs the guidance of qualified and godly teachers. But John was referring to those who were trying to seduce a group of believers who were already well-versed in the pure, Christian gospel. He was saying, "Hey, you already know the truth. You already understand the gospel. It's not like these seducers have special knowledge you don't have and need. Don't listen to them. You already have the information you need."

@@1Whipperin You are saying that Ephesians 4:11 speaks of job descriptions and not actual titles, but one of the ways to identify or differentiate someone's role is to name the post. So if someone is fulfilling the role of a pastor, they shouldn't be called a Pastor, because the scripture didn't say " they shall be called a Pastor"? A person performing in the role of the pastor is a pastor. Also, there are persons who are called apostles and prophets, so in Ephesians 4 are only those two to be interpreted as titles, but the other three are to be interpreted as roles? As for Minister, in Ephesians 3:7 and Colossians 1:25 Paul said that he was a minister. You'll probably say that he was saying that's his role, but note he said "a minister". The word "a" is an article that goes before a noun, so he was not speaking of a role. Because we do not read of anyone calling him Minister Paul, does not make him not a minister.

@K_C_G444 No one in the NT had a title of Pastor or Minster or even Apostle. Paul never referred to himself as Apostle Paul. He was Paul an apostle. Apostles did not use the title "Apostle" as a formal title before their names in the way modern titles are used. While they identified themselves as apostles and mentioned their apostolic roles, they did not use "Apostle" as a prefix. For example, Paul often described himself as "Paul, called to be an apostle" rather than "Apostle Paul." Similarly, Peter did not use "Apostle Peter" but referred to himself as "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ." The emphasis was on their role and calling rather than on using "Apostle" as an official title.

Mr. Washer should try to smile at least once during his preaching. The Christian life is not an unrelenting dose of weight and gravity. Just saying.

Not required for me. I've seen him smiling even laughing at times but what I need from him is to preach the Word of God 🙏

@@cynthiadavis5599 That's a good thing to know. The key word is "balance". Good cheer, rejoicing, positive affirmation, and even laughter, are equally valid Christian virtues, to that of correction, rebuke and gravity. I think brother Paul should be more balanced in the area of joy and affirmation. He's holding a magnifying glass and wearing boxing gloves too much of the time. of course, God is the ultimate Judge on all matters. You have yourself a wonderful day.

@@leopoldodelacruz1288It's all about BALANCE. His preaching tends to be overloaded with rebuke and correction. At one point in this sermon, talking about all the books preachers read, he says that "So few people do what I just described. He was speaking of looking to the Bible to mold one's behavior and conduct, especially withing the context of shepherding. And then he says: "Even if you were to read a book from some great reformed writer, that writer would scold you for taking his book over scripture, wouldn't he?" Um, how can Paul Washer make such a judgment as this? He can't. He doesn't know the hearts of men, and certainly not the hearts of every reformed writer. It's just more excessive correction and rebuke.
