You purposefully limited your definition of Bishop to elder, Why do you purposefully avoid the word “bishop” if it means the same thing? Too Catholic for you?
Wikipedia also lists it as Bishop, not just “elder” or “overseer”... and you are still splitting hairs.
But since we are on the subject, you have neglected to tell me if your church has priets or deacons for that matter, the Bible says it should.
“As to my denomination I am a follower Jesus Christ.”
I expected you to say that. That’s pretty generic and what everyone says. What, you don’t belong to a denomination? I asked for a denomination.
Lutheran, Mormon, Methodist...?

Did you even read my reply before you claimed to be persecuted?
>Episkopos literally translates oversear(look at your concordance).I have no problem with you translating that to Bishop but it is equally valid for some protestant churches to use the term elder.<
>Wikipedia also lists it as Bishop,<
Now their is a great authority on anthing much less Greek to English translations.
>But since we are on the subject, you have neglected to tell me if your church has priets or deacons for that matter, the Bible says it should.<
Is that the same passage that says Bishops “should” be the husband of one wife and have their children in good order?
