In that case no need for you, "pastor."

Go join the Russian old believers.

“In that case no need for you, “pastor.” “

I can agree with that! Everyone who is born again into Christ is a priest. The only difference between a pastor and a member-priest is that my duty is to help them do theirs.

Early, early in Catholic history the priests started taking unwarranted authority to themselves. It became about *them* and not the people. They started wearing clothes that made them stand out, etc. None of it was taught by Christ. None of it was taught by Paul.

As I said, wrong for 2000 years and counting.
