“we should look upon the bishop even as we would upon the Lord Himself”

Thank goodness this epistle is not part of the canon of scripture. The Bible already lays out the mode of church government. The Bible also tells us to give Bishops a double honor. To look on them as we would the Lord is wrong.

Thank goodness this epistle is not part of the canon of scripture. The Bible already lays out the mode of church government. The Bible also tells us to give Bishops a double honor.

To look on them as we would the Lord is wrong.

And this is probably why it was not included in the Canon of the Bible.

For as Jesus has said:

Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven
