I mentioned Polycarp as the disciple of John, nothing more, however we have writings where Polycarp and Irenaeus refer to the office of both Presbyter and Bishop, and as they were both active in the church during the second century while John the Apostle was still living, the argument against those offices loses merit.
No one with a MDiv would argue that there is no basis for the office of Pastor in the Bible. Sorry - that doesn't hold water...unless perhaps you got a certificate via mail from some paper mill. I could believe that. The earned MDiv is a very advanced ministry degree requiring, as a rule, between 76 and 98 hours of master's level course work, including extensive work in exegesis, Hermeneutics, and biblical languages.
The only reference I made was to Reverend as your user name, because between your alcohol references and your aggressive and personal insult laced tirades, the question was begged. You took the thread off track by trying to discredit the office of pastor...and the logical assumption was that you read my profile. I will stay off of logic though...if I went in that direction I would be nailing you for more fallacies in your arguments than I care to detail, from ad hominem to assertion and everything in-between.
Good luck with the funeral. That is an area of ministry I have had a lot of experience...and probably the most rewarding, short of death-bed conversions.
