Yes, of course. But your ideas of them are rather muddled. Do you not see the difference between "the actual roles in the New Covenant" and "your ideas of them"? So far, you've offered nothing but raw opinion to promote your case... and that simply won't do, at all.

Just show us were the role of priest is outlined for the new church ?

Er... show you *where*? From Scripture alone? You haven't proven that "Scripture alone" is valid yet; remember?

If you like, I can show you evidences from Scripture; just don't confuse them for an airtight proof, or for any suggestion that "sola Scriptura" is anything but unscriptural nonsense:

1) A priest is to offer the Holy Sacrifice, and confect the Holy Eucharist, as Jesus commanded (cf. 1 Corinthians 11).

2) A priest is to forgive sins (cf. John 20:23).

3) A priest is to baptize in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (cf. Matthew 28:18-20).

4) A priest is to anoint the sick with oil, pray for them, and lay hands on them, that they might recover (spiritually, physically, or both, in keeping with God's specific will for that person), and that their sins might be forgiven (cf. James 5:13-15).

5) A priest, if he is a bishop, is to confirm the baptized through the laying on of hands, by which they receive a fuller share in the Holy Spirit (cf. Acts 19:1-7, etc.).

6) A priest, if he is a bishop, is to ordain priests and deacons for the sake of perpetuating the ministry of the Church (i.e. the spread of the Gospel, and the salvation of souls), that "all nations" may be made disciples, in accord with the command of Christ (cf. Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Timothy 3-5, Titus 1:5-16, etc.).

7) A priest is to serve as the Church's official witness to holy marriages, that unlawful marriages are not permitted (though marriage is possible without a priest, in time of need).

Will that do, for starters?
