I will address this more in a bit but I had to address a few points now:
>> I must comment on the effect of plucking the firstfruits and making them priests stops their growth from the vine that they were to be left in place for the local church and community – this circumvents believers to minister in their local Jerusalem their local Samaria and as the grace and power grows in them unto the utter most parts of the earth. <<
The priests offer their lives as a sacrifice for the benefit of the Church, in imitation of Christ. In doing so, their sacrifice will cause SPIRITUAL results, yielding still more vocations and helping angels conquer demons through prayer. You are thinking materialistically, not spiritually.
Had I seen that comment I would have deleted it because it was from another converstation where I was stressing tha in protestant fundamentalist churches that when ever a young person or member of the church becomes effective as a beeliver in prayer in bible study and in talking to others they do not keep them or use them in the church they instead ship them off to bible school and they send them to Venus. So that in these churches they never are able to develope a core group of beleivers to do something -- instead the pews are filled with babes the do nothings and the elderly.
There are reasons for this and I beleive it is mostly due to an in experianced priesthood that can not really explain with any depth what they beleive and why they beleive it other than I was taught that this is so.
Anyway you are absolutely correct I was think carnally about the fruit plucked but really truly if we are hard wired into christ it doesn't matter where here is.
