Why Are Pastors Called Shepherds?

[@THEWAY2023]

Shepherds are the best sheepdogs. Be God's sheepdog and protect his flock.

Pastor is a Spanish word that means shepherd.🐑 🐏 🐑 🐏 🐑 The sheep tend to innately follow. We have to test / try those we choose to listen to.

No wonder our "pastor" has said he would rather be referred to as the sheepdog instead. He continuously refuses to truly feed the sheep. Hes cowardly and Im fed up.

Our Lord is the Good Shepherd and the High Priest (Heb 5:10) who offers the Sacrifice to God the Father, His Sacrifice on the Cross, which is offered every day all around the world during the Sacrifice of the Mass by the celebrant priest. The Catholic priests are therefore Shepherds through whom Our Lord works for salvation of souls. All the other so-called pastors are not sent by God and therefore wolves in sheep's clothing. Neither does any man take the honor to himself, but he that is called by God as Aaron was (Heb 5:4). How shall they preach, unless they be sent (Romans 10:15).

You mean wolves in sheep's clothing [Matthew 7:15] Gentile pastors are not from the levitical priesthood to take tithes and offerings from the children of God. These pastors are wolves in sheep's clothing.

The "pastors" these days have been following the man made institution of "church" as a business... far from the 1st century church.
