Sounds like

the Jewish magicsterical of 2000 years ago.

Christ wasn't impressed with it then.

I can't imagine He's impressed with it now.

This sort of hyper parochial mentality is part of what Christ died to abolish.

He died to restore each individual's fellowship with THE FATHER.

Yet again the enemy of our souls has used mankind's obsession with organized hoopla and law to distance individuals further and further from not just THE FATHER, but Christ and THE TRUTHs about God and about RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

Satan convinced individual after individual that they cannot approach God as DADDY through CHRIST'S BLOOD ALONE.

Therefore, they have to submit to wholesale and utterly depend upon layer upon layer of professional gatekeepers because satan has convinced each individual that Christ's Blood is insufficient alone to cover their wormy-ness.

So lock-step, day after day, the faithful submit to endless jury-rigged hoops that the "new" money-changers; PURPORTED soul-leveragers; glorifiers and RELIGIOUS [not spiritual] pontificators burden the serfs with.

Lots of Olympic class retch material there.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights and concerns, dear brother in Christ!

It is indeed tragic whenever a Christian believes that the Blood of Christ is in some way insufficient.

Many, I suspect, feel this way because of self-loathing. Because their past sins haunt them, they "will" not to receive God's forgiveness. Some might even see their attitude as extreme humility, but what it really is, is a lack of faith. By not receiving the forgiveness, they are in effect, telling God "I do not believe you, I do not trust you."

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. - Isaiah 1:18

And some, I suspect, are uncomfortable with unmerited grace and feel they must do something to earn it. They might see this as humility or gratitude instead of the insult to the Blood of the Lamb that it is. In effect, they are judging God by saying it was not enough for Jesus to shed His own Blood for his sins, that they could become righteous on their own.

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. - Galatians 2:21

And some, I suspect, believe the Blood of Christ fades over time - that when they sin again, the forgiveness they once received is cancelled. They cannot seem to accept that they simply need to confess the new sin, repent of it and the Blood of the Lamb cleanses them from the new sin as well.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - I John 1:7-9

It doesn't matter what additional labels a Christian might wear. There is only one Great Commandment:

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. – Matthew 22:37-38

Love God surpassingly above all else. Believe Him. Trust Him.

Priesthood is not a profession, but rather a vocation. Other than that, yes. That's what the Bible says.

because satan has convinced each individual that Christ's Blood is insufficient alone to cover their wormy-ness.

Christ's blood is absolutely sufficient, there wouldn't be a priesthood without it, and you (and many like you, not getting personal) would have no chance of getting saved at all.
