For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.

Yes that verse is very nice, but I'm completely missing the part about a priesthood. Where is the scripture about the Christian Priesthood, other that the priesthood of the believers. Where is the part where these Christian Priests make sacrifices and interceed on behalf of the other Christian priests, which we all are. Where does it say that this scarificing priesthood must also be celebate(sp)

Re: "Where is the scripture about the Christian Priesthood?"

You are off topic, may I recommend a new thread I am sure many of us will join you there. Now if you wish to converse on this thread the subject is Celibacy in the Priesthood.

Re: "Where does it say that this scarificing priesthood must also be celebate(sp)"

Scripture is Holy Writ it is not canon law or church discipline anymore than a police department policy is public law. You seem to be expecting the Bible to conform to your expectations instead the other way around.

I have Scripture passages to support the priesthood but that is going off topic. Start a new thread and we will join you there. Stay on target young Luke.
