<\/p>\n

It’s one of the most asked questions, “can women be pastors?” This is the wrong question. The question is, “can anyone be a Pastor?” <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The word Pastor means, ‘Shepherd’. A shepherd watches over sheep and goats. If we analyze what Jesus, YHWH, and the prophets say, we see Jesus is our only Shepherd and Pastor. As a matter of fact, Jesus is also our only teacher, <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Matthew 23.8,10 “For ONE<\/span> is your teacher, The Christ…For ONE<\/span> is your teacher, The Christ”.-Jesus <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Jesus detailed who he would send, and he didn’t mention Pastors or Teachers. <\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Matthew 23:34 KJV<\/strong> Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes:<\/span> and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify; and [some] of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to city:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. The prophets said YHWH was sending one Shepherd \/ Pastor.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 34.23 And I will set up\u00a0one shepherd\u00a0over them<\/span>, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ezekiel 37.24 And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd<\/span>:\u00a0they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. The prophecy told to Joseph was though his lineage a Shepherd would come. Jesus is a descendant of Joseph.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Genesis 49.\u00a024 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd<\/span>, the stone of Israel:)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Jesus at the Judgment, is the Shepherd:<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Matthew 25:31-33 KJV – When the Son of man<\/span> shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats<\/span>: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. The prophecy of Jesus being taken away from the disciples. Compare these verses:<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Zechariah 13:7 Awake,\u00a0O sword, against my shepherd<\/span>, and against the man [that is] my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts:\u00a0smite the shepherd<\/span>, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Matthew 26:31, 56 KJV – Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd<\/span>, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. \u2026 56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled<\/span>. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.<\/em>
Mark 14:27, 50 KJV – 27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd<\/span>, and the sheep shall be scattered. \u2026 50 And they all forsook him, and fled.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Jesus assuming the role of a Shepherd:<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mark 6:34 KJV – And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd<\/span>: and he began to teach them many things.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
