“is simply an attempt to inject a false impression.” - yes, your post is doing that — the English term “priest” is simply a contraction of the Greek word presbuteros (presbyster/elder) — these have the responsibility of teaching, governing, and providing the sacraments in a given congregation (1 Tim. 5:17; Jas. 5:14–15).
It should be easy for you to show from the New Testament the strict use of the Greek word for priest applied to the New Testament church leadership if it’s true. How about it?
