The insult was intended as a rebuke and it still stands. You come across as demanding - wanting things when you want them. I doubt you will ever find a church able to fulfil that need except for short periods and after a while the pastor will realise that there are greater needs than yours and with more chance of fulfilling them. Email and even things like forums are the worst way to get answers in the sense that it is way too easy for people to take offence at the way you say something.
Pastors are not necessarily teachers and so matters of doctrine may not be their forte. If you have a small church you may not find anyone who has that kind of mindset. Larger churches will usually have someone who is theologically trained or has an enquiring mind.
You also have the internet at your disposal so should be able find answers somewhere else rather than bothering an overworked pastor.
My Pastor has a masters degree from Concordia Seminary and he is currently working on his doctorate part time so he is well versed in church doctrine.
Not every answer is available online so that doesn’t really apply to my situation.
The Pastors job is to shepherd the flock and if he’s too busy to answer my questions he should find an associate Pastor who can tend the sheep.
As an update he did contact me and he said that it is his job to answer these kinds of questions but he has been really busy and he will answer me as soon as possible.
