But those who sacrifice daily must necessarily give the charge of their oblations to priests, whom they surrogate as the vicars and successors of Christ. By this subrogation they not only rob Christ of his honour, and take from him the prerogative of an eternal priesthood, but attempt to remove him from the right hand of his Father, where he cannot sit immortal without being an eternal priest..." ...We deny that they are priests in this sense, namely, that by such oblations they intercede with God for the people, that by propitiating God they make expiation for sins. Christ is the only Pontiff and Priest of the New Testament (cf. Heb. ch.9): to him all priestly offices were transferred, and in him they closed and terminated. Even had Scripture made no mention of the eternal priesthood of Christ, yet, as God, after abolishing those ancient sacrifices, appointed no new priest, the argument of the apostle remains invincible, "No man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron," (Heb. 5: 4.) How, then, can those sacrilegious men, who by their own account are murderers of Christ, dare to call themselves the priests of the living God?...""...Let us show, therefore as was proposed in the first place, that in the mass intolerable blasphemy and insult are offered to Christ. For he was not appointed Priest and Pontiff by the Fathers for a time merely, as priests were appointed under the Old Testament. Since their life was mortal, their priesthood could not be immortal, and hence there was need of successors, who might ever and anon be substituted in the room of the dead. But Christ being immortal, had not the least occasion to have a vicar substituted for him. Wherefore he was appointed by his Father a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek, that he might eternally exercise a permanent priesthood (Heb. 5:6,10; 7:17,21; 9:11; 10:21; Ps. 110:4; Gen. 14:18). This mystery had been typified long before in Melchizedek, whom Scripture, after once introducing as the priest of the living God, never afterwards mentions, as if he had had no end of life. In this way Christ is said to be a priest after his order.
John Calvin is a “type” of anti Christ.
I,m not afraid to say this because John Calvin elevated himself above ALL the Saints and ALL the Early Church Fathers in his rejection of Transubstantiation.
The devil comes as an angel of light and John Calvin,s teaching on the Eucharist is from satan.
ALL of the Early Church Father,s and Saints believed Christ is Truly present in Eucharist -Body Blood Soul And Divinity there is NOT a single exception. NOT ONE!
Either the Saints were mislead by the devil or John Calvin was.
This is your choice.
Who do you believe?
If you choose Calvin,Christianity is a sham!
Compare the life of Calvin to Saint Polycarp,Ignatius,Justyn Martyr and all the Saints who wrote pages and pages on Eucharist .
1500 plus years of solid Eucharistic teaching and along comes Calvin guided by the devil.
Luther himself was horrified when protestant reformers would tell him that “why would Christ give us His Body and Blood to such depraved people” It was Calvin who is a “type” of anti Christ that started all of this heretical teaching!
John Calvin is not worthy to be the dirt beneath the Saint,s feet!
