Yooguyz: 1.The Biblical record introduces
us to three positions of spiritual
executive servant leadership:
elders (presbuterous, Acts 14:23;
15:6, etc.), overseers
(episkopous, Acts 20:28, etc.),
and pastors and teachers
(poimenas kai didaskalous, Eph.
4:11, etc.).
Elders are specifically identified
as those who are active in
preaching and teaching (1 Tim.
5:17) and pray for the sick (Jam.
5:14). They are told in plurality to
shepherd the flock (1 Pet. 5:1-2)
and to exercise proper oversight
(1 Pet. 5:2-4), and are referenced
as pastors. Thus an elder is a
pastor.
Overseers are called elders (Acts
20:17, 28-30) and are to
maintain being and doing
qualifications (1 Tim. 3:1-7). Thus
an elder is a pastor, and an
overseer is an elder.
Pastors and teachers are called
elders (Acts 20:28-31; 1 Pet.
5:1-4) and are to be active in
preaching and teaching for the
equipping of saints (Eph.
4:11-16; 2 Tim. 3:16, 4:1-4), are
to be on guard to protect the
church from false doctrine (Acts
20:28-31; 1 Pet. 5:1-4), are to
rule and oversee the church (Acts
20:28; 1 Tim. 5:1-7), and at least
in Timothy’s case, are to do the
work of an evangelist (2 Tim.
4:5). Thus an elder is a pastor,
and an overseer is an elder, and
a pastor is an elder.
Notice first that each role is
referenced and equated as the
other, and that the titles, while
emphasizing different aspects of
leadership, all refer to the same
persons. Notice second that each
role is discussed in plurality.
2. I don't think should be used as a religious title

Reyginus: HbG, what's the matter now. This doesn't make sense.
Sure you didn't break any rule?

johnoruma: Hello All,

I have been following this thread underground and trying to see if what you guys are condoling here can be done in another section on this same Nairaland. Mind you, they have been moderators before you and know how to handle issues the more.

I opened a thread in the Islam section with the heading The Gay Muslim Chatbox but bet me, it did not last 30 mins. Find screenshots below;
