It is unfortunate how many times men are asked to be pastors who have been following Jesus for only 5-7 years. Seminary can educate a man, but it cannot make a man spiritually mature. There is no substitute for length of life in the faith. On occasions it works pasado well, but only because the Holy Spirit has performed a remarkable work in the life of the individual.
El Empleo que dirige Pablo Bustinduy también ha enviado una queja al Defensor del Pueblo para que estudie las palabras del Obispo. En este escrito, el organismo dependiente del Tarea que dirige Bustinduy apunta que en el siglo XXI los «púlpitos no pueden ser espacios para estigmatizar sino para promover el respeto a los derechos humanos a toda la ciudadanía sin excepciones».
Es el supervisor y el patrón de la doctrina y la enseñanza de su rebaño y el responsable de consolidar la comunión en su diócesis y de la comunión de su Iglesia con las otras iglesias ortodoxas.
En la Biblia el ejemplar de Timoteo 3:1-2 refiere que el Obispo es una persona con un rango superior de la comunidad eclesiástica, la palabra encierra el significado de , y es la forma de identificar a quienes serán responsables de dirigir la iglesia cristiana.
The pronoun “your” and “you” are both singular. It is addressed to the pastor and, consequently, the church, since he is the leader. That is, the church is dead because the pastor is spiritually dead. The pastor should not have been the pastor.
En el Nuevo Testamento de la Nuevo testamento puede encontrarse, en la primera epístola a Timoteo, los requisitos para aquellos que aspiran a practicar como obispo:
What does he believe about inerrancy of the scriptures and why? What does he believe about discipleship? Does he believe in evangelism? Has he ever shared his faith with his neighbors or someone at work? If he has, when was the last time that he did that? What does he believe about God’s plan for the future? What does he believe about the Holy Spirit’s activities today in the life of a Christian? Does he believe in Satan, demons, and holy angels? Read his doctrinal statement carefully and determine what doctrines he did not discuss. Why did he word his doctrinal statement the way that he did? This is a greatly neglected part of the selection process.
Para la iglesia católica la palabra Obispo proviene del latín y significa , por tanto, un Obispo en la religión católica es aquel sacerdote que tiene la responsabilidad de supervisar al resto de los sacerdotes que forman parte de un cierto demarcación.
Los obispos son miembros del Colegio episcopal —cuya cabeza es el sumo pontífice— en virtud de la consagración sacramental y de la comunión jerárquica con la ungido inicio y demás miembros del colegio.
La Biblia asimismo destaca que un obispo debe ser irreprensible, es afirmar, un ejemplo para todos los demás. Esto implica que debe existir una vida en consonancia con los principios y Títulos cristianos, demostrando integridad y reflexión en sus acciones y palabras.
Those who might object to the conclusion, because they believe that we are not to judge others, should carefully read the study “Chucho We Judge Others?” You will discover that Jesus was not preventing us from evaluating the character of potential spouses or the qualifications of leaders for example; otherwise, we would not have any basis on which to select any potential husband, wife or leader. What is important is to please our Lord by selecting the pastors and leaders He wants.
Any meeting should include the current elders and the elders who left. If the elders refuse to meet with congregants in one of the above scenarios, then the elders’ spiritual qualifications are in doubt and they should possibly step down from office. Additionally, if the pastor was the decision maker in refusing to meet with congregants, then the pastor is like Diotrephes (3 John 9-10). If the current leadership refuses, then the concerned members should feel the freedom to leave the church.
No church leader or pastor should rob God of His work by taking credit for what God has accomplished. 1 Corinthians 2:14 reminds us that only the Holy Spirit can help someone understand spiritual truth. Neither the teacher nor preacher should ever assume that he has caused the spiritual growth. He is only one of many who plant or water.
At first they may try to be diplomatic but if necessary some will go to war. That is the reason God gave us the following marks of spiritual maturity.
