Metropolita o Metropolitano: Se refiere al obispo que ocupa un asiento a la cabeza de una provincia importante (uso en Rusia) o si tiene cualquier cargo como titular (uso helénico).

Why is that the correct understanding of the estar? The verb tense of “continue in sin” is a present participle. That means the pastor or elder continues sinning.

This comment assumes that the leaders have performed a complete and careful investigation. After listening to both spouses, they have then made a just decision. Justice is the key word. If the congregation cannot trust the leaders of the church, it is time to leave the church.

Today, too many kindhearted but misdirected churches and seminaries allow men to become pastors who should not be in the ministry. Many pastors are spiritually immature even though they completed their seminary training and they have a poor grasp of Scripture. They know the systematic theology taught by the seminary they attended, but they cannot and do not know all of the Bible. It is impossible in a three year seminary course of study to have been taught all sixty six books of the Bible in depth.

Lord willing, this document will prove to be an encouragement and blessing to those who have the wonderful task of searching for a new shepherd of the sheep. The following thoughts are the result of someone asking if voting for a pastor was like casting lots. The answer to their question was, “Yes, if biblical principles are not followed.”

Mientras se realizaba este cambio, el Imperio Romano, ahora cristiano, les concedió más poderes a los obispos. Se les facultó exclusivamente para contraer competencia sobre las faltas de los clérigos, y toda demanda entablada contra éstos tenía que ser traída en presencia de la corte del obispo. El emperador Constantino el ínclito a menudo permitió a todos los cristianos aguantar sus demandas judiciales frente a el obispo, pero este derecho fue retirado a fines del siglo IV. Sin bloqueo, ellos continuaron actuando como árbitros, cuyo oficio le había sido encomendado por los primeros cristianos. Más importante quizás es la parte que la ralea romana les asigna a los obispos como protectores de los débiles y oprimidos. Se le permitía al Poseedor emancipar legalmente a sus esclavos en presencia del obispo; éste tenía todavía el poder de remover y restaurarles la autodeterminación a las doncellas de casas inmorales donde sus padres o amos las habían colocado.

Existen algunos símbolos que son utilizados específicamente por los Obispos que hacen mostrar su dignidad. En la iglesia católica por lo general se visten de color morado, usan una cruz y un anillo, para las ceremonias de decano solemnidad visten la mitra y llevan el báculo pastoral.

For it says, “but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?” That is, there is something wrong with the husband and father. God holds the man responsible.

If you think a pastor is teaching error or false doctrine, you must do your homework and attempt to determine if his teaching agrees with Scripture. If eventually you are convinced he is teaching error, then you must approach the pastor about his error.

Use the printable table to determine what the pastor or the pastoral search committee believes are the pastor’s priorities. Then compare the results to the principles outlined in this study

The results were amazing. Most everyone said the pastor should spend most of his time in sermon preparation and teaching/preaching, but they thought he should spend only about 10 hours per week doing this. That told us that the leaders of this church did not really believe the duties of the pastor was to teach and preach. If they had, the number of hours should have been at least double. For an additional article dealing with the duties of a pastor, the selection of a pastor, and for a copy of the above mentioned questionnaire please read “Thoughts On Selecting A Pastor.” Another important article is “A Call: Teach The Bible.”

1 Timothy 5:19 requires that two or three individuals were witnesses to the same sin at the same time. This does not mean that one individual witnessed a sin one day, another person witnessed a sin on some another occasion, and maybe a third person witnessed another sin.

Los obispos se encargan de velar por las iglesias locales bajo su control a través de la figura de las diócesis, que se organizan principalmente en see it here una de las ciudades que englobe y cuya sede principal es la catedral, desde donde imparten el derecho Gozqueónico y confiere los sacramentos.
