The term, elder, has a wider range than the term, bishop. Elder may refer to Old or New Testament offices. It may also refer to men of age, experience, and/or wisdom. Bishop refers to a specific New Testament office.
In 2 Samuel 7, why was David picked to be king? Why he was labeled as the man after God's heart?
What does the Bible say about men going to school to be a preacher?
Did John the Baptist baptize Gentiles or only Jews?
My question is, why do people call the Bible the Word of God when it is clearly a name given to Jesus? If you read the Bible believing that the Bible is the Word of God it gives you a very different message from reading it with the understanding that Jesus being the Word of God.
