saying that 1 peter 2 calls every Christian a priest is intellectual dishonest, the comma would be relaced with “ of” or a semi colon.

and that’s only examining the English text, i suspect the greek drives this home even more.

Oh cut it out!

The passage is very clear and is referring to individual believers.

Actually the Greek has all commas.

Now, since you clearly do not want to believe what you read in the word of God, I think our discussion is over.

There is a difference between priesthood and ordained priesthood. Those on whom the Apostled laid their hands became ordained priesthood.
