Where did the practice of pastor to mean preacher/evangelist come from?
Q. Many folks use pastor to refer to the person employed to preach to a congregation every week, but the Bible says pastors, overseers, elders, bishops are synonyms, have certain qualifications like husband of one wife,not novices, believing children, etc so I was wondering how pastor came to mean something else. I guess I should also ask if you think a pastor is a preacher or overseer/bishop and why?

A. to pastor means to lead the flock to good pasture. that is where it comes from. it means to feed the flock. as in feed them the word of God, so to teach the word to the people is to pastor them

Q. Such as this organization: For those who approve of it, would you also approve of non-Christian groups trying to indoctrinate young school children in this same manner...for example: Muslims, Wiccans or even atheists? w771m, I thought young children didn't go to Hell. Interesting...

A. Hotep Sis, I find such indoctrination practices apprehensive, and revolting. Children do not choose these things, their parents indoctrinate them into whatever political/religious dogmas they practice. In my experience, a good history book along with a science book will serve children much better than religious indoctrination. Most importantly this truth is without flaw, nobody has seen God, God has written no books, and you may search the world over, you will never find God; God exist within. May you have peace, prosperity and hope
