The duties of pastors both in the church in the wilderness and in the early Church included rightly dividing bread from house to house[1] in a "daily ministration" of fervent charity.
Early Christians would not eat at the tables of rulers who exercise authority because the were a snare and a trap. The modern Church now sends the people to the governments of the world an men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other providing the legal charity which is a snare.
I am a pastor or shepherd of sheep and in that life I may have been given a different understanding of the role of pastors in the Bible. Understanding the metaphor also allows us to understand the message of the parable of separating goats and sheep.
I am also a herdsman of cattle.
There are many metaphors in the Bible that are expressing principles of what it means to repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.Download Recording Pastors

Pastor vs Shepherd
The word pastor[2] appears in both the Old and New Testaments' translations but does it mean today what it meant thousands of years ago?
The word pastor in the New Testament is more commonly translated shepherd.[2]
If we want to use the term in the way that the scriptures intended we have to look back to the context in which it was originally used in both testaments.
Of course in the Old Testament the word we see as pastor which is Rah[3] is translated shepherd more often than it is translated pastor. But the word is actually far more often translated feed or fed.
Feed who, how, and when?
Rule what
The word Rah in the Hebrew includes the letter Reish which is often related to the idea of a "ruler". The term is even translated "ruler" in some translations but within the context of the Bible, it is not describing men as rulers over men who can exercise authority one over the other.
Then what did they "rule" since Christ forbid that His minister rule or "exercise authority one over the other."
Words like pastor, shepherd, and sheep are metaphors. The modern Church pastor does almost none of the essential things we find the first century Church ministers did.
Today, pastors hold positions among the people that would be foreign to the early ministers of the Church and rejected by the elders in congregations in those days of the early Church.
What did those early pastors or shepherds of the people do that is no longer being done by pastors today?
Ministers and Pastors
The noun minister in the testaments means servant and understanding how they served may come as a shock to modern Christians.
They did not rule over nor exercise authority one over the other.
But they may have ruled over some thing or things freely given them. The Bible and the Gospel of the kingdom is about freeing people, setting the captive free.
Freeing people from what?

Servant Pastors
A shepherd or pastor is a part of a loving loving relationship in fellowship as a mutual symbiosis.[4] As a servant of Christ the minister is bound under the authority of Jesus who was clear on the subject of not being like the 'rulers of other governments' who exercise authority.[5]
The followers of Jesus, metaphorically identified as His sheep, hear His voice in their hearts and minds, gather in His name. And together with a shepherd of their choice they were to love one another.
Ranks of servants
Still, there was rank mentioned by Christ.[6] The rank was not as a ruler but as a servant.
Jesus also commanded that His disciples organize the people in small groups or companies of ten "elders" who were simply the heads families. These small intimate "companies" of ten families were further organized into "ranks" of a hundred. These groups of tens were linked by individuals who might be called pastors by the nature of their mission to rightly divide the bread from house to house.
The driving and ruling force in the early Church was not pastors or priests but the Holy Spirit dwelling in the hearts and minds of the elders as heads of families gathered in the network of free assemblies or congregations.
Also elders
The ministers or pastors were also "elders" of their own families. An elder was not an office of the Church but a description of a status within the foundation of society, the family. Shepherds, or pastors as a general descriptive term consisted of those who were chosen by the people in this network of tens, hundreds and thousands to help provide for the needs of society by charity alone, which is love. This would include everyone who was a part of the working network of charity from Apostles, Bishops, or Deacons.
Duties
Paul brought supplies and aid all over the Roman Empire to the early Christians during major dearths. He was able to do so because the early Church required those Christians organize themselves in a network by ranks of Tens as Christ commanded.
The duties of pastors in the early Church included rightly dividing bread from house to house[1] in a "daily ministration" of fervent charity.
The diligence[7] and sacrifice required in the practice of pure Religion created the bonds of fellowship of Christ.
Tables
Religion was defined as duty "to God and you fellowman" before the people prayed to the governments of the world who exercise authority for their free bread they went to church which provided daily bread through charity and love and pure Religion unspotted by the public religion of the world of FDR his New Deal and the public religion of Socialism.
Early Christians were in conflict with Rome because they would not sign up for their system of welfare.
When Christians were being persecuted by the government of Rome Justin the Martyr wrote Emperor Antonius Pious and explained why Christians did not sign up for the "free bread" offered by their government.
“And the wealthy among us help the needy ... and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, are in want, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.” "Justin the Martyr's Apology"
In providing the welfare of the people through charity they naturally bound the people through love. If "pastors " used some other means to feed or tend to the people other than charity or neglected their care altogether they were often condemned in the text.
Two pastors
One of the first place we see the word Pastor is in Jeremiah 2:8
- "The priests said not, Where [is] the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not profit."
While the root word Ra'ah is ReishAyinHey in the actual Hebrew text in this verse we see וְהָרֹעִ֖ים or wə·hā·rō·‘îm consisting of the letters VavHeyReishAyinYodMem.
This form only appears once in the Bible and is a reference to a Pastor who does not know God and His way and are seen as transgressing against Him.
Pastors should be like shepherds who tend to all the welfare needs of the people in a daily ministration of faith, hope, and charity, so that none of the sheep of Christ have to eat at the tables of legal charity provided by the exercising authority of the Fathers of the earth.[8]
Before Jesus was able to provide the people with loaves and fishes in Mark 6:39 He "commanded" His disciples to "make" the people sit down in Tens. And then those groups were to organize in companies upon companies in divisions and "ranks" of "fifties and hundreds".
Christ also told His disciples not to be like the rulers and princes of the Gentiles who provided benefits by exercising authority one over the other.
Everyone who got the Baptism of Christ was "put out" by the ordinance of the Pharisees of the Jewish synagogue system which was also composed of ten families through which they provided welfare with the "Corban" of the people.
Christ appointed a kingdom to His "called out" group He called His "little flock" to be ministers or servants to the people in "free assemblies" not rulers like the "benefactors" of the "world" who "exercise authority". Every man should be led by the Holy Spirit to gather in order to love one another. The minister is supposed to be serving by making or requiring the people voluntarily organize themselves in Companies of tens, fifties and hundreds, and thousands so that people may love one another through daily ministration in the practice of Pure Religion as we see the early Church doing in history for centuries.
If all the people who say they are Christians were actually doing what Christ commanded, socialism would be obsolete and no one could be or would be exploited. Socialism is the religion you get when you refuse to do what Christ commanded and have no Pure Religion.
If you remove the Vav from VavHeyReishAyinYodMem you get הָרֹעִ֖ים or hā·rō·‘îm consisting of the letters HeyReishAyinYodMem. This form of the root word Ra'ah appears some 23 times in the Bible. It might refer to shepherds doing their job or failing to do their job in service to the people.[9] That job is often related to feeding or tending to the needs of the people.[10]
Whether we translate these words shepherd, pastor, herdsmen, or keep, feed or tend the people the term is referencing the manner in which someone assists the people in the practice of Pure Religion through a system of charitable welfare that strengthens the people and keeps them as free souls under God.
Ignorance of The Way of God may be a serious problem again with pastors who provide little or nothing of the temporal needs of their flocks.
Just 200 years ago almost all social welfare was provided by charity through the local communities and the local Churches. The welfare of America was not provided by men who just call themselves benefactors but only offer Legal charity which is not charity nor love but covetous practices that makes you merchandise and curse children.
Rulers of the governments of the world actually only give what they obtain by exercising authority one over the other and forcing the contributions of the people through taxation. They offer you deceitful meats and if you have an appetite for their dainties you should put a knife to your throat.[11]
Such free bread was condemned throughout the Bible. Jesus told us not to pray to the Fathers of the earth but to our Father who art in heaven for our daily bread.
If shepherd or pastor provide a daily ministration in a righteous way the people will be blessed by freedom under God. If they provide for the people in some unrighteous manner or unrighteous mammon (or even fail to provide for them altogether) then the pastors will be cursed as they have cursed the people and lead them back to be entangled in the yoke of bondage, make them merchandise and curse children as a surety to debt.
As we see the same word we see for pastor in Ephesians 4:11[12] is translated shepherd in John 10:11.[13]
The early Church provided daily bread for the poor through a daily ministration of Pure Religion thereby blessing the people with the wages of righteousness rather than the wages of unrighteousness offered by the world. The world had provided free bread through a system of Corban that sustained the welfare of the people through a system of force making the word of God to none effect.
Jeremiah warns[14] that "the pastors are become brutish" and is talking about when the people lose their religion of charity and take up the ways of socialism. The administers of those systems of welfare through public religion use force do not feed the people as much as they feed upon the people.[15]
Those welfare programs that use force depend on brutish pastors of the world who feed, tend and provide for the people through a system of force which David and Paul call a "snare".
Modern pastors
The Modern Church does not do what the early Church did because the Modern Christian is engaged in more covetous practices than they are engaged in the fervent charity that was commanded by Christ.
2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Jude 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
True pastors
A true pastor today would be a true and good shepherd[13] for both temporal and spiritual needs.
A True pastors will only be a pastor to true Christians. Modern Christians are under Strong delusion.
The pastor who is worried about loosing members of his flock because he speaks the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom is a hireling.

Brutish Pastors
- "For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered." Jeremiah 10:21
Brutish is defined as "resembling or characteristic of a brute."
Brute is defined as a noun as "a savagely violent person or animal." and as an adjective it is defined as "unreasoning and animallike."
It is from the Latin word brutus meaning dull or stupid rather than savage.
In the Bible the word brutish can be translated from the Hebrew word ba‘ar[16] which is a noun. The Hebrew word baar consists of the letters BeitAyinReish (בָּעַר)and is defined "to burn, consume". But seven times it is translated "brutish".
In Jeremiah 10:21 we see niḇărū with the spelling NunBeitAyinReishVav (נִבְעֲרוּ֙).
In verse 8 we see yiḇărū and spelled YodBeitAyinReishVav (יִבְעֲר֣וּ).
- "But they are altogether brutish <01197> and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities." Jeremiah 10:8
In verse 14 we see niḇar and spelled YodBeitAyinReish (נִבְעַ֤ר).
- "Every man is brutish <01197> in [his] knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them." Jeremiah 10:14
There are at least 95 occurrences of the word Baar translated commonly as a form of burn or waste. The first place this term is Exodus 3:2 "the bush burned <01197> with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed."[17]
A brutish pastor burns but does consume and does not satisfy or quench.
In Jeremiah 7:20 we see "Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn <01197>, and shall not be quenched."
This could be interpreted as the modern Church pastor who tickles the ears[18] and takes the money of the people but does not actually preach the whole gospel of the kingdom and the way that draws us near to the Holy Spirit who is the true comforter.
Brutes and fools
The brutish pastor comes about because of the vanity of vanities[19]but they are also altogether foolish and tempt the people to make the "sacrifice of fools" written of in Ecclesiastes which is the Corban of the Pharisees which makes the word of God to none effect.
Christ told us not to go to the benefactors of governments who exercise authority one over the other to obtain our daily bread provided by the Fathers of the earth who encourage the covetous practices that make men merchandise and degenerate the masses. But the modern Church pastor fails to rightly divide the bread from house to house[20] like the early Church through Pure Religion by the practice of fervent charity.
The ministers of Christ were commanded by Christ in order to distribute bread needed by the people to have them organize in a network of Tens much like what Moses had done in Exodus. At that time a synagogue was ten families and it was through the synagogues which was the congregation of the day through which the people received their daily bread in time of need since Religion was the way you cared for the needy of society.
Rome and all the city-states offered some form of social welfare for it citizens. Some of those systems were based on freewill offerings but at the time of Christ most had transitioned to systems of Legal charity where there was an accounting and the use of an exercising authority[21] to obtain the reserve funds in a treasury to provide those benefits.
The religion of the heathen was considered idolatry because they were covetous practices.[22] The free bread of Rome decreased liberty[23] and degenerated the moral perception of the people turning them into human resources with less right to choose[24]
The whole gospel of John the Baptist was that you should take care of one another through charity and not force. Today, most of the social safety net of society is provided by the bureaucrats of those governments that call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other and the "pastors" are blind guides of the modern Church, whether it is a mega institution or a home church, do not see that the legal charity of the world is the covetous practices that entangle the people back into the yoke of bondage, and like the Corban of the Pharisees is making the word of God to none effect because pure Religion has been replaced with public religion.
- "But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities." Jeremiah 10:8
What do they mean "brutish and foolish"?
Saul forced an offering of the people and was called foolish by Samuel. The Corban of the pharisees was the "sacrifice of fools" spoken of in Ecclesiastes 5.
Appearances
It appears five times in the Bible[25]
The adjective ba‘ar[26] appears in the Bible 94 times[27] but is only translated brutish about 7 times. It is 10 times more likely to be translated burn, kindle or burn up but also eaten, set, eat up twice each and even feed, heated, took, and wasted once each.
It would appear that what is dull or foolish or brutish can burn and waste the sacrifices of the people and even the people themselves when the nation commits adultery with the well favored harlot of their nation.
The brutish pastors of Jeremiah 10:21 scattered the flock which is why there are 40,000 denominations. But we also see God tells the son of man to prophesy against these shepherds who scatters the people but also do not feed the people but get fat themselves instead.[28]
But they also do not take care of the sick nor help those who are in bonds but in truth you bring the people into bonds and rule over them.[29]
This is what Herod and the Pharisees with their system of welfare that forced the Corban of the people who registered for their welfare system of their temples. John the Baptist opposed that system as did Christ because it makes the word of God to none effect.
Testament search for brutish
In the Old Testament we see the word brutish appearing 19 times.[30]
In the New Testament we find the word brute from the Greek word alogos[31] which means unreasonable or contrary to reason.[32]
Preparing you search for brutish
- The corporation of God and the titular republic of God and how a free government works. The body bound to free the people... Separation of Church and state of freedom. And the corporate church under Caesar.
Corporate banks of your government and daylight robbery it has led to. Woe to the Brutish pastors who fail to attend to the weightier matters . The shoulders of the free Elders of the faithful.

- ↑ Covetousness is idolatry
- Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
- Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
- 1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
- ↑ Destroyers of liberty
- "That the man who first ruined the Roman people twas he who first gave them treats and gratuities. But this mischief crept secretly and gradually in, and did not openly make it's appearance in Rome for a considerable time." Plutarch's Life of Coriolanus (c. 100 AD.) This would include Julius Caesar and eventually Augustus Caesar which is why Plutarch also reported, “The real destroyers of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and benefits.” This was a major theme of the Bible:
- There were tables of welfare which were both snares and a traps as David and Paul stated and Peter warned would make us merchandise and curse children. Proverbs 23 told us not to not eat the "dainties" offered at those tables of Rulers and Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10 we cannot eat of those tables and the table of the Lord. We are not to consent to their covetous systems of One purse or Corban which makes the word of God to none effect.
- We know when the masses become accustomed to those benefits of legal charity which are the rewards of unrighteousness provided by benefactors who exercise authority and the Fathers of the earth through the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and curse children as a surety for debt.
