"l TL E S 1 I In this article we wish to consider with you titles and attri j butes of God, Christ, the Holy Ghost and church leaders in the Scriptures, compared with what we find today. We have no desire to be unkind, but sincerely desire to encourage a King (Matthew 21:5), Prince (Revelation 1:5), Emmanuel (Mat thew 1:23), etc. The Holy Ghost is called he (John 16:13), Eternal (Hebrews 9:14), Comforter (John 14:21), etc. These Sacred Writings simply call the apostles Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James, (the son of Alpheus), Thaddeus, Simon, Judas, Paul and servants (Matthew 10:2-4, Romans 1:1, Philippians 1:1). Bishops are called elders, shepherds, and overseers (Acts 20:17 and 28, Titus I, 1 Timothy 3, 1 Peter 5:4). Preachers and evangelists have no special titles either (Acts 21:8, 2 Timothy 4:5, Romans 10:4, 1 Timothy 2:7). Lack of love and respect for God's Truth, coupled with man's desire for pre-eminence and honor, have resulted in many un Scriptural and anti-Scriptural titles. We mention here some of them. Reverend (God's name, Psalms 111:9) is a common title among preachers today. Some, desiring greater honor, have titles such as Right Reverend, Most Reverend, Most Right Reverend, Very Right Reverend, etc. And, even though Jesus said, '". . . Be not ye called Rabbi: for One is your Master, even Christ . . . and call no man your father upon this earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven" (Matthew 23:8-9), religious leaders are called Rabbi, Master and Father. Pride and selfish ambition have caused man to assume the place of God and Christ. Today MEN are called Holy Father, His Holiness, His Eminence, His Grace, Lord God, etc. : Honest hearts, we plead with you. Let us repent and return to the Lord by learning to speak as the Scriptures speak and striving to walk in the way they direct us. These Scriptures are God's complete instructions to man (2.
