The word translated *elder* is *presbuterous*.

It is not the Greek word for *priest*.

That word is *hiereis* as in Acts 4:1.

Hey metmom,

Geeee...does God mean elder or priest? The original Bible, from the original writings, the word is priest. Protestants, ie, in the KJV, King James’ 16th century translators changed “priest” to elder. Why would they do that?

Oh yes, Protestants have no ministerial priesthood.

Metmom, you are the best Catholic apologist.

1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Did you notice it didn’t say Catholic Church or any church for that matter?
