Hello? A bishop is a priest.
You guys just said a priest is an Elder...
A bishop is an episkopos...Now a priest is an episkopos...And a priest is a presbuteros...And a priest is a hiereus
Do you guys ever listen to yourselves??? Oh, and a priest is an alter theos
Only in Rome :)
The greek word for Bishop means over seerer just as elder does..it had nothing to do with a priesthood
episkopē
1) investigation, inspection, visitation
a) that act by which God looks into and searches out the ways, deeds character, of men, in order to adjudge them their lot accordingly, whether joyous or sad b) oversight
1) overseership, office, charge, the office of an elder
2) the overseer or presiding officers of a Christian church
No priesthood there Judith
God is proclaiming a new, clean sacrifice, again among the Gentiles, and clearly universal (in every place). Thus, the Sacrifice of the Cross cannot be intended, since it was in one place only. The Mass fulfills the prophecy.
