RE: The Curmudgeon's Bible - What the Heck Is A "Pastor?"

in #christianity7 years ago

Ah, you've missed my point, @ryeis1...

It is the fact that language has evolved that demands a change in translation. People no longer recognize that "pastor" means "shepherd."

"...a pastor is the head of a Christian organization..."

Exactly! The point is that "pastor" is no longer a valid translation of the Greek "ποιμήν" because the English language has changed. "Pastor" no longer has the same meaning as "shepherd," and so it is no longer a translation.

But I agree with you that there are "bigger fish to fry," and I've "fried" some of them in other entries in my "Curmudgeon's Bible" series of articles. You can find them on my Library Christianity Shelf if you care to see some of the "bigger fish." And I expect to write more articles in this series as well.

Thanks for reading, and taking the time to comment. :D
