No, you prove my point. Some things are not edifying to others.

Yep i like learning about scripture, but not the carnal division.

I hate religion, i just dont care for all this stuff, i like Jesus and the scriptures. GT is an ulcer waiting to happen. This division and debate doesn't make me want to go to church, it makes me want to stay away from it. Im good where i am i think

I don't really care anyway, i just wanted to see what sort of modern day words we could use to understand these old NT english titles, thats all.

You're right, i don't need to read it, stumble over it or lower myself in unprofitable debate. That gets old.

So basically a presbyter is an elder. But what is an elder? Does this refer to an older person who has age, learning and experience?
