Pastor Or Reverend???

Pastor Or Reverend???
Just a quick question. What is the difference between a pastor and a reverend? Our former pastor (as he asked us to call him) has moved to a new church (same denomination). I recently learned that he is now referred to as reverend and was made that through some sort of process. I'm not really sure exactly how he bacame that. I guess I'm not sure what the difference is. I thought that was mostly a Catholic title like Father. Any ideas on the title meaning and what it took for him to become one? Talk to you later. God Bless, Mark Mark The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2 |

I think it depends on the denomination or beliefs. However, reverend is not found in the scriptures as something to refer to fellow believers as. Regardless of who they are. All the apostles referred to themselves by their first names. As a qualifier they would state what their specific job was--but they viewed themselves as fellow heirs, fellow believers, and brothers and sisters in Christ. I don't believe it necessary or Biblical to have to refer to anyone with a "title". Jesus said to call no one rabbi or teacher, etc. Nor was one to require to be called by a title. There was a reason for that. Pride. And idolisation of others. Matthew 23:7-12 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Rabbi > G4461 ῥαββί rhabbi hrab-bee' Of Hebrew origin [H7227] with pronominal suffix; my master, that is, Rabbi, as an official title of honor: - Master, Rabbi. Master > G2519 καθηγητής kathēgētēs kath-ayg-ay-tace' From a compound of G2596 and G2233; a guide, that is, (figuratively) a teacher: - master. The definition of Reverend: clergyman: a member of the clergy and a spiritual leader of the Christian Church a title of respect for a clergyman worthy of adoration or reverence wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn I know of no person who is worthy of reverence or who should be revered. The following holds the only instance of "reverend" in the Scriptures: Psalms 111:1-10 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2. The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3. His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6. He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 7. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9. He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Pastor is generally meaning "shepherd". Jesus is our Good Shepherd. We are to follow and listen to Him. John 10:11-15 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. Eze 34:9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Eze 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. Eze 34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. Eze 34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Eze 34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. Eze 34:24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. 1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. Heb 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Heb 13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Vic SeekGod.ca 3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. |

(07-09-2009 01:40 PM)Mark Wrote: Hi! Hmmm... reverend REV'EREND, a. [L. reverendus.] 1. Worthy of reverence; entitled to respect mingled with fear and affection; as reverend and gracious senators. A reverend sire among them came. [This epithet is, I believe, never applied to the Supreme Being, or to his laws or institutions. In lieu of it we use venerable.] 2. A title of respect given to the clergy or ecclesiastics. We style a clergyman reverend; a bishop is styled right reverend; an archbishop most reverend. The religious in catholic countries, are styled reverend fathers; abbesses, prioresses, &c. reverend mothers. In Scotland, as in the United States, the clergy are individually styled reverend. A synod is styled very reverend, and the general assembly venerable. So, yes it is used in Catholic circles. pastor P`ASTOR, n. [L. from pasco, pastum, to feed.] 1. A shepherd; one that has the care of flocks and herds. 2. A minister of the gospel who has the charge of a church and congregation, whose duty is to watch over the people of his charge, and instruct them in the sacred doctrines of the christian religion. We don't call anyone in our home fellowship by a title. God does not require it or even ask us to. We do call each other brother and sister once in awhile but that is not a title. Pastor is more of a gifting or function in the Body of Christ, not a Title that goes in front of someone's name. Even when the Apostles referred to each other they never used titles. Gal 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Gal 1:18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 2Pe 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; Act 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: I was brought up and instructed to call Catholic Priests, FATHER. I never really liked that, but I sure bet they did. Titles only serve to set people up on high, over those who do not have titles. We are told by Jesus not to call men by religious titles. You see Mark, people that have religious titles do not have a BIG JESUS and the rest of us with NO Title, have a little jesus. Actually, we all have the same Jesus or can have the same Jesus, since I cannot assume everyone HAS Jesus (by His Holy Spirit). Religion has created the Clergy/Laity division. This was not God's doing. Whenever I am introduced to someone and for instance, say he is introduced as Pastor Bob, I just say "Good to meet you, Bob". If I was ever introduced to a Catholic Priest, I would jettison his title first and use whatever name came after it, to greet him. When it comes to spiritual things, there are no titles. I do call men Mr. and women Miss or Mrs., and Dr., etc. But Jesus made it clear that men do not have Spiritual titles. See Matthew 23, below. I know a friend who heard a "Pastor Jim" introduce himself to a 5 year old as "Pastor Jim". My friend said, "Come on Jim, give it a rest, he's only a 5 year old". Quite ridiculous, don't you think? Mark, read the following and tell me what you think? Have you seen such persons before. I bet you have. Mat 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Mat 23:2 Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: Mat 23:3 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. Mat 23:4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. Mat 23:5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, Mat 23:6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, Mat 23:7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. Mat 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Mat 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. Mat 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Mat 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. P.S. I am respectful to all men. You can be respectful and honor all men without separating yourself from them with their titles. Jer 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Never in the New Testament do we see the pastor as the "Key Man" upon whom rests the burden of speaking for the Body in a way that no other person can. Today, I have noticed that "leaders", more and more are prefixing their names with TITLES. Apostle, Bishop, Prophet, etc. There is very little in the New Testament that would support the thesis that the church is to have a special class of Christians who rule over the church in place of the Head (Jesus). Jesus' model of leadership has nothing to do with status or office. Leadership is important in the church but it is out of balance. When there is a preeminence of leadership it takes away from the every member ministry and reciprocal or "one another" ministry that Paul highlights all through his epistles. The Church has only one class of members: blood-bought, born-again believers. Jesus explicitly forbade honorific titles among His people, His sheep. Sad, but true, our institutional churches are dysfunctional and have grown away from the strict commands of Jesus. We have created something that the New Testament Church would not recognize. Most men today with titles don't even stop to think twice about why they are referred to with a title. They just think that it is normal (as far as Christianity goes, not Scriptures) and that they earned the title in some way, whether it be by education or being promoted by other men. Titles only serve one purpose and that is to divide the sheep from the "more honored sheep". Here are some verses to think on. 1Co 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 1Co 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. Joh 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. We always have to stay away from situations that would appeal to our pride. That was a great question, Mark. Jer 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Today, I have noticed that "leaders", more and more are prefixing their names with TITLES. Apostle, Bishop, Prophet, etc. Greetings. I have seen numerous postings here with very well thought out responses...please be advised that this will not be one of them. I have found myself rambling in the posting below, and straying off topic. Please excuse that, and feel free to delete what is not pertinent to the thread. I can tell you how the title "pastor" was interpreted in a Oneness Pentecostal church I was a member of for quite awhile. He preached that he was the God ordaind leader of the flock, and that we were to follow him, as he followed God. I had even heard him say that he was the closest representation to God that we would see in our lifetime. (Am not joking) The pastor also taught us that the office of pastor was the highest office of all, the Christian successor to a Jewish Rabbi. and, that any interpretation of the scripture other than his was incorrect. Too often I have seen pastors and leaders not only treated special by other members, the reverence appeared to be both expected and required. When one pastor led a prayer, I remember the ushers barring the doors of the chapel to keep people from walking out. Seriously, they spread their legs and arms to keep anyone from moving in the chapel. I found that the church highly revered their pastor, his word was the same weight as Gods. One of my observations over the years is that those who were very much into the personality cults of large or even small churches, those pastors/leaders were often highly respected by the congregation, but often this admiration turned into a dark side, where the pastor or teacher actually began to believe they were raised in stature than mere christians (lower case for emphasis). In essence, they became a god in their own eyes (my interpretation) when they became lords over the people seeking to serve God. Seeing the entourage of a leader of a large charismatic church in Colorado entering into a place of worship was disheartening, not the honoring part by the congregation, but the expectation that it was his right and our requirement. I have seen a congregation of which I was a member to suffer while putting together offerings to the pastor for appreciation, and the pastor live in a residence that he did not pay for, but was given to him outright, that was worth 10 times the average church member's home or condition. And they thought it was a good thing. Very seldom have I seen the reciprocal of that....a pastor or man leading a congregation in humility, someone who is not trying to turn Christianity into a money machine for their own support. When I do, my heart is humbled, and I see a glimpse of true Christianity. My opinion is that many of today's pastors may have had good intentions at one point, but many are there as a career path. Have you heard a pastor indicate they were led to a particular church to serve, and then later, as another opportunity opens up, they suddenly hear a different calling? I have. Whatever happened to following the leading of the Spirit? I led a group for one year only. The burden was there for one year, not for a lifetime career. I profited not at all, in fact I supported the group. Over the years I have heard of many prophets, apostles, bishops, leaders, Christian Rabbis, etc. In established denominations, these come as a result of scholary achievement. In more charismatic denominations, this often comes by virtue of heredity, as much as education. I have seen a number of pastors pass their churches to their eldest son, as their right to lead the flock, and to partake of the reaping of the tithes and offerings. For the record, I am not bitter, or trying to vent here. I learned much from many leaders of the church movement I was in, and for that foundation I am thankful. Yet, when I hear of someone referring to themselves as pastor, apostle, messenger from God, evangelist, etc., I immediately am wary. Not of the title, but how that person interprets their status with God. Administrators, if I am totally off base here, my apologies. |

RE: Pastor Or Reverend???
Actually Pilgrim, I found your post to be refreshingly honest and very insightful. You actually have stated quite concisely what has been my experience as well, having been born and raised in the church, and served in every capacity that was given me for 53 years.
I was also involved in numerous denominations where some pastors were called "Domini" - a term of reverence and adulation. I was taught my whole life that pastors were indeed, the very voice of God. I wonder if this is why, when a Pastor lies, cheats, scams, prophesies falsely, or is reported to have "indiscretions" that people turn their discernment off, say that he just made a mistake, and reinstate him once again as their spiritual leader. It appears that "Christians" do not take their responsibility seriously and judge their leaders according to Biblical mandate. Thanx for sharing, it was spot on |

I like the idea of an American Secular Party to compete with the two establishment parties that, as predicted by Washington himself, will destroy America. To me, the instilling of irrational belief in children -- essentially indoctrination into belief at the sake of reason -- is central to the Party plank. Keeping Jesus out of the schools by disallowance of vouchers to evil Popes and their evangelical ilk stateside, wold be a Top Ten plank positions. Taking "God" off coins and absent from the Pledge. Things like that. I see Judeo-Christian, and mostly Christian dogma guiding far too many institutions and taking us backward into ancient history rather than looking toward the Dawn of World Enlightenment and True Freedom from The Priesthood.

Please join our campaign to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act, R.S. 17:285.1, which was passed by the Louisiana Legislature in 2008. Simply put, the intent of this law is to allow the teaching of Creationism, including Intelligent Design, in public school science classes in Louisiana. On April 15, Sen. Karen Carter Peterson introduced SB 70 to repeal the Louisiana Science Education Act.
Vote Down the Anti-Evolution Law
Please sign this petition:
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a proposed law in Tennessee encouraging science teachers to "critique" the theory of evolution, human cloning and global warming is a thinly-veiled plan to put bad science in good schools.
A bill passed the Tennessee House of Representatives April 7 that would require state and local educational authorities to "assist teachers to find effective ways to present the science curriculum as it addresses scientific controversies" and permit teachers to "help students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and scientific weaknesses of existing scientific theories covered in the course being taught."
One of the original drafters of the bill is no less than Focus On The Family, a group from the religious right that aims to put creationism back into the classroom. They succeeded in Mississippi, where science advocates are currently fighting to repeal the "anti-evolution law."
In Tennessee, it's now up to the State Senate to stop the bill. They're set to vote later this month. Sign this petition to tell them that Tennessee students deserve to learn science in science class.

Current supply-chain technologies and optimization models provide increasingly powerful ways to identify these opportunities and quantify potential gains in revenues or cost savings. But, as this briefing explains, for every up-side there is always a downside.
Obtain invaluable insights and critical advice on global real estate with our International Investment Atlas 2007 that appraises the size and investment prospects of global markets.
The U.S. manufacturing sector remains a strong, vibrant and vital component of the economy that contributes importantly to growth, wealth and our standard of living. Furthermore, it remains a key component of the industrial real estate market and will continue to play a vital role for years to come.
The current trend in U.S. interest rates is essentially flat following the Federal Reserve's decision to stop raising rates in June 2006. While we expect this trend to continue, rates are expected to budge slightly upwards rather than decline further.
Multi-national companies around the world continue to take strategic advantage of highly skilled but low-cost workers in developing countries to reduce labor costs. China and India have dominated the offshoring market – India in business processes and China in manufacturing – but other developing countries are starting to gain a foothold in the market. This briefing examines the risks of global offshoring and the aspects companies looking to export jobs need to consider when making location decisions.
Does it really make a difference where in the world you choose to locate a new operations center, research facility or headquarters? Increasingly, knowledge workers expect companies to locate close to where they want to work and live. More than ever, as this briefing reveals, your company's success relies on analyzing and anticipating the complex location choices of the knowledge workers your company needs. Organizations that don't pay attention will fall back in the race.
The fundamental supply and demand forces that shape the market point to further declines in vacancy and gains in rental rates, especially for office space. Employment growth will remain steady enough to propel continued growth in a national market that remains supply constrained.

Cricketers who changed the way the game was played
In this article, Chistopher Martin Jenkins pays tribute to Gilly and names other cricketers who have changed the way the game of cricket is played.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle3261389.ece Bosanquet (googly) Jardine (rutheless pursuit of victory) Lloyd (no need for spinners) Kapil (shifting the power base from London to India) Jayasuriya (role of openers in one-dayers) - are his choices, apart from Gilly for changing the role of wk-batsman. I think the impact he is attributing to Kapil is a by product of the result he achieved rather than a clearly measurable contribution. Also Jardine's captaincy turned out to be a one off thing and, till date, has not become the blue print for English captains. My choices would also include: Ranji: leg glance - until then one sixth of the cricket ground was under used by the batting team. it changed field setting theories irrevocably Sarfraz Nawaz: reverse swing - only after this innovation could fast bowlers play an effective role with the old ball in otherwise spinners only situations Last edited by bagapath; 28-01-2008 at 04:04 AM. |

WG Grace is the obvious one. Turned cricket from idle passtime into a commercial sport.
I think Jardine is fair enough - there have certainly been plenty of captains since who've followed the win at all costs mentality he exemplified and brought into focus in the perceptions of the public. Worrell - first black to become the substantive captain of the West Indies.

Agreed re Kapil unless you can mount an argument that he changed the way India looked at his type of bowling.
Besides that ..great. Maybe add Murray Bennett for his contribution to players wearing dark glasses on the field |

but, matt, would you not credit big ship armstrong for pioneering that attitude though? afterall, jardine's tactic was supposed to be a revenge to what he suffered in a first class match when armstrong was captain of australia

TBH I've always thought it was more Michael Slater than Gilchrist who started the "Australian strokeplay without fail" trend. Gilchrist was obviously the lynchpin in its execution many times.
Pelham Warner changed the game by being the first to take a team touring under the aegis of MCC. 80 years later England were still playing Tests in the yellow-and-mauve.

Haha yeah, Murali, of course, for making us see the light over what a ridiculous idea was the one that bowler's elbows stayed at the same angle throughout delivery. Shame they didn't spot that in about 1930 TBH.
Maybe Chetan Sharma for showing that six required off the last ball of a ODI wasn't terminal? Regarding Greatbatch\Jayasuriya - think Roy Fredericks would be somewhat unhappy at the notion that they were the first to raise the tempo in the early ODI overs. Greatbatch was the first to do it in a 15-over World Cup, but Jayasuriya was truly the one who brought it to the wider audience. |

Yeah, true that TBH. Funny case, Saeed - often overlooked in so many ways, possibly partly because of his slight frame, yet beyond question one of the greatest ODI players of them all as well as arguably Pakistan's second-best Test opener, ever. One of my favourite players, too, ITBT, and I guess the only explanation for him not getting more credit is that he often opened with the even more aggressive (usually stupidly so) Shahid Afridi. Afridi was Anwar's Kaluwitharana.
I've always said I'd never hesitate to have Anwar up there with Ganguly as the contender for the second-best ODI opener of modern times (Tendulkar of course being the first). |

He's the first to use it in big time. There were fair few who used it before him, but never sucessful ot pronounced as Saqlain. Jayananda Warnaweera from SL used it, he bowled to cracker-jack deliveries that spun the other way to Mike Gatting and Vinod Kambli. But I've never seen that video footage after that, so cannot say whether it was a doosra or an orthadox leg-break (warnaweera was a off spinner, who was even quicker than Kumble)

Sangakkara and Gilchrist weren't even the first in being front-line batsmen and top-notch wicketkeepers; Alec Stewart did that a decade before them, though he only became a full-time wicketkeeper 3 years before Gilchrist's debut. Sangakkara has always been something of a contradiction to my mind, too - in the first year or two of his Test career he was actually a very poor wicketkeeper and should never, ever have taken the gloves ahead of Kaluwitharana. And even since the dramatic improvement in his wicketkeeping (which happened in early 2002), he's still had periods where he's been relieved of the gloves, with them given to Kaluwitharana and Prasanna Jayawardene. Whereas Gilchrist, and from 1996 onwards Stewart, were full-time wicketkeepers. Sangakkara is, to my mind, a batsman who sometimes keeps wicket, as Stewart was between 1990 and 1996. Beyond question, a better batsman than Gilchrist, but there's also no denying that his best batting has come when not possessed of the gloves. I do occasionally wonder what would have happened had Russel Arnold not been injured, resulting in Sangakkara's promotion to number-three in his 4th Test (he had originally taken Arjuna Ranatunga's place at five). Because I reckon Sangakkara could have combined the roles far more effectively had he batted five, not three. As it is, I'd probably prefer it had he never been given the gloves, at all. We're always going to be left with what-ifs now. Last edited by Richard; 28-01-2008 at 09:03 AM. |

Look, Gilly may have changed the face of international cricket with keepers requiring to be able to hold a bat...
but when I play as India in Super International Cricket on SNES, D. Rajah (my wicket keeper) bats as low as 9. I just stack the team with all-round quality such as E. Gupta, C. Pille, and M. Gandhi (who may or may not be the actual Mahatma Gandhi... just the white version with hair). I then don't require my keeper to be able to bat. When you have Mahatma coming in at 8, you're unstoppable. Last edited by Jono; 28-01-2008 at 09:50 AM. |

Mishawaka is the latest community to start uploading crime reports to an interactive online map, which helps explain those flashing lights you might've seen in your neighborhood.
The website, www.CrimeReports.com, displays a colored icon on blocks where police investigated thefts, assaults, homicides, traffic emergencies, fires, and other calls.
The map, which is updated three times a day, also shows the names, addresses, and photos of registered sex offenders.
"We see the good and bad in technology and this is definitely something that is going to be a good, useful tool for us to use," said Lt. Tim Williams, a spokesman for the Mishawaka Police Department.
CrimeReports.com is about more than just providing information to the public. It's also a way for investigators to bring in fresh leads, Williams said.
Users can send tips anonymously by clicking on a link on the site.
"That's huge, that's a great tool to have," said Williams.
South Bend and Notre Dame are already on the site, which also has a mobile app. Users can set up alerts to notify them when certain crimes are reported nearby.

A LaGrange man faces 14 counts of sexual exploitation of children after allegedly hosting child pornography on online peer-to-peer sharing networks.
The LaGrange Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force began an investigation Dec. 28 into an IP address in LaGrange offering images of suspected child pornography for trade through a peer-to-peer network.
Detectives traced the IP address to a residence on Briar Cliff Road, and the address was issued to a Charter Communications account held by Andrew Scott, 28, of LaGrange.
About 7:30 a.m. Thursday, officers served a search warrant for the residence and found images and videos of alleged child porn on Scott's computer.
Detective William Nelson led the investigation and said that 14 images of suspected child porn had been found on the computers so far. Nelson said that detectives seized two computers and two or three hard drives from the residence. Detective Scott Lewis will be further examining the computers and hard drives in search of more images.
Scott was transported to the Troup County jail where he was being held this morning without bond.
