what is a pastor?

honestly, does such a thing exist? is it truly biblical to have a pastor?

did Jesus sit there and tell his followers: "go, and designate a person through whom I will speak and devote divine theological speeches every week... sometimes twice a week."

I'm not denying the fact that people have done research and know (greek) the bible like a roadmap, and I'm also not denying these people's knowledge (hebrew) of the relational aspects of Christ as well, but...

are we really to expect a person to be the one and only source that an entire congregation of people will listen to every week?

I love my pastor. she's an amazing woman who, I'm sure, has both knowledges of Christ, but can we honestly EXPECT divinity to happen every week?

or, is it truly church services that we ought to question then? should we be going to church with expectations of any kind?

which, I will admit, is hypocritical because I know that I go to a highly liturgical church, and therefore I know what to expect every week from my rituals.

do I expect to have the answers posted within this blog? no...

but, to quote R. P. MacMurphey in the book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: "well, at least I'm trying , damnit... at least I'm trying..."
