As I sais mark..1) the word priestly is not found in all translations including THE CATHOLIC ONE.. 2) paul did not say he was ministering AS A PRIEST , but in a priestly MANNER ..and what service was he doing?? MINISTERING THE GOSPEL not a re-sacrifice of Christ.
Read it in context mark.. and I have said over and over..the roles in the new church are clearly laid out in the scripture and there IS NO PRIESTHOOD..outlined.
I am consecrated.. as is every believer .
Now if you want to look at the passover as a type..lets see how that goes
At the beginning of the Passover 3 pieces of matzo are placed in a bag called the unity or 1 bag..
Then the center piece is removed..
The Passover was a remembrance of the Exodus but it was also prophecy .
Think about the fact that the jews do not believe in the Trinity , yet God showed then the trinity in the passover..3 in unity ...one ..
Then Jesus removes the center one that would represent the Son
That piece is broken in half, one half is placed in a white linen cloth and hidden from site.. (like jesus in the tomb)
The other half was then broken into pieces and shared with the guest to eat..
It was at this time jesus said “take and eat , this is MY body”
He was talking about the matzo representing the 2nd person of the trinity that would soon be broken for them and their salvation
There were 4 cups of wine at the Passover
The 1st was called the cup of joy,which they shared at the beginning of the ceremony , the 2nd cup was called the “cup of redemption “
Jesus picked up that cup of redemption and said “this is my blood”
Jesus was revealing the prophetic meaning of the passover meal..a remembrance of God delivering the jews from Egypt , and a type of the salvation and redemption of men by Christ.

Quoting the Talmud are we?
Well, that’s just fine.
Except one thing: if it’s not fair game for me to deal with the Church Fathers (that nasty tradition thing, you know), then it’s no fair for you to cite the Talmud (again, that nasty tradition thing, you know)
Which will it be?
