The early Church didn't operate the way many of our churches and pastors are operating.


The pastors have become Lords rather than servants serving.

Kobojunkie:
God did not call your pastors and mogs. There is one and only one shepherd in the Kingdom of God. And it is God Himself, Jesus Christ - Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 16 & John 10 vs 1 - 16. Every other who claims to be a shepherd in the Kingdom of God is a liar and a thief, you comes only to steal from those who believe, to kill the fat of them, and to destroy God's Flock..

May God have mercy on you.

Eph.4.10 - He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
Eph.4.11 - It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
Eph.4.12 - to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
Eph.4.13 - until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Khoielvis:




Pray you don't see problems that will make you run about seeking for solutions. You will judge less

I have been through tribulations myself and I found Christ and help at the right place. In my journey and struggles I have turned down offers that feels right but are compromise to my faith.
I ain't making gest of those that are distressed but I advise they go after Christ first not miracle. At the end solutions will come.

God bless you.

So, what you are trying to get me to believe is that in His direct edict to men, God lied in Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 16?

And Jesus Christ, in echoing God's decree also lied in John 10 vs 1 - 16 when He declared that He alone is the good Shepherd?

My dear. Let's be humble. I've served in deliverance ministries for at least two decades and quarter. I won't say much on this.

If someone thinks he is a Shepard, he is indirectly or directly calling you a sheep... It almost seems people are very ok with being called sheeps.

You need to study the passages you quoted inductively and not deductively.

Stop using deductive method in your Bible study if you know what I mean by "Bible study".

Shalom.

Those passages clearly state God's intention and message which is that no longer will He have men shepherd His flock for Him. These proclamations God made of His New Covenant, Jesus Christ, through His Old Prophets. So what Jesus Christ reiterated in John 10 is what God had announced through His Prophets.

If by way of your inductive "Bible study" you arrive at a message that contradicts God's intention, does that somehow invalidate God's intention?

At least stop lying to yourself pretending God is changed by your the lies you choose in place of His Truth.
