I was looking in the bible to find some scriptures to show just exactly what the bible says about them. The only thing that came up when I did a search on the word pastor using e-sword was Jer 17:16. I thought there was something on pastors in the new testiment. When I looked at the structure of the church that Paul describes in 1 Cor 12:29 there is no mention of a pastor. I guess they might fall under teachers. I know the order of the church is kind of messed up right now as the pastor is like the head of the church. Was wondering what people thought on the structure of the church right now and if there is any other indication of what a pastor does using the bible scriptures.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

My heart is glad you are seeking the truth in the word. Nothing though, beats reading and studying the word. In this age of technology, we as humans have made life more convenient through word searches. The motivation for these word searches must come into question. Is it for the purpose of glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ? If so, I would encourage you to read the 1 letter to Timothy. Read the entire epistle, but the answer you are looking for is in chapters 4, 5 and 6. Be very careful how you use the word of God. Use it only to glorify Him.

Put your focus solely on our Lord Jesus Christ, and He will show you what you need.

May God richly bless you this day and fill your heart with His love!

Your brother in Jesus Christ,
