Much of your post deals with linguistics rather than the function. I don't have time or inclination to argue about words. Functionally, the above is what priesthood is. If you think the Bible teaches different, show me. Feel free to refer to the Greek original directly, I read and understand Greek.

I'm not surprised one bit with the tone of your post, the hurried typing with errors and the ignoring of what I posted. IMHO you probably can't really address what I brought out from the "holy" Scriptures - which seems to be the MO of Catholics, educated or not.

I also refer, read and understand the Greek. And I use it almost all the time in my exegesis of the old manuscripts. What you posted is not to be found in the Scriptures, period. It comes from the philosophical meanderings of the natural (sinful) man.

We was a fellow priest and bishop. The office of the bishop is to oversee priests. The office of priest is to consecrate the Eucharist. Both offices are holy as they deal with the holy matter: the sacrifice of Christ. Which of that do you object about, and more importantly think that the scripture teaches different?

ALL OF IT! I don't "think" the scriptures teaches differently, I "KNOW" the scriptures teach differently than what you said above. And I've given you what the scriptures have to say about the offices of the church, period.

I believe that the readers of this thread can distinguish between the Scriptures and what each of us had to say. I made a comment in a previous post that your church is a super cult of Christianity - I stick with that even more so now that you have confirmed it with your assertions.

However, I do praise God that you preach Christ and Him crucified, buried and resurrected for the forgiveness of sinful man that believes and obey Him. I will also pray that the holy Scriptures correct your thinking of the topic discussed.
