A priesthood is a vicarious appeal for salvation.
There has been no priesthood since the veil was torn in the temple. We are now each on his own before God; no one may appeal on our behalf. That is what a priesthood is.
Yeshua appointed no one to be the dispensor of truth, but his word. The Holy Spirit guides each of God’s elect.

Actually, we Christians are “a nation of priests” (I Peter 2:9), fulfilling a role that had been slated for the Israelites (Exodus 19), with one high priest: Jesus. Which means we ought to be intercessors and ambassadors to the whole world, praying ‘til our knees are calloused and living like, well, Saints.

Editor "There has been no priesthood since the veil was torn in the temple" -- err... do read the Bible, 1 Peter 2 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood,
