Paul Washer - 1 Timothy 3-4

Praise GOD brother and sisters what a glorious blessing we have in CHRIST, all we need , bow the knee and praise the king

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.

@faithfulStoneChurch Thank you brothers for the upload. It's a great blessing to the body of Christ. Are you all able to remove the ads due to the distractions of Youtube Ads and sometimes they can be inappropriate? This is all with Youtube. I'd be able to help as well in needed. Love in Christ.

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.

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.
