I also showed you, from scripture, that the Apostles were instructed to do what Jesus did at the Last Supper. Since what He did was show them His sacrifice, they now show His sacrifice as well. That, again, matches Catholic and Orthodox priesthood. Of course, there are other delegations that Christ ordained, to teach, baptize, and forgive sins, “as Himself”, with immediate effect in heaven (do a search for things like “as my Father sent me so I send you”, or “who receiveth you receiveth me” or “bind on earth - bound in heaven”). That, too, matches the authentic priesthood and no one else.

Irrelevant ..Catholic sources say there was no priesthood, and the last supper was not considered a "sacrifice for the 1st century of the church

See you assume because of your TRADITION that only the apostles could pass on the right to preside over the Lords supper.. but that is never stated anywhere in scripture.. nor did Christ EVER give the apostles the right to pass on ANY of the gifts He gave them for establishment of the new church .there is no apostolic succession ... no "special set aside priesthood " in the new church ..

The jewish Priesthood was a type of Christ, fulfilled at the cross..

No more need for a priesthood..so God destroyed it totally and forever in 70 AD,

If you don't mind my saying this, that was an AWESOME job of tidying up the thread! Great job! Maranatha

You may find a "Catholic" source for anything. St. Paul considered it sacrifice (1 Cor. 11:26-29).

Because Christ gave that right to the Apostles alone, at the Last Supper, and the scripture records that.

God destroyed it totally and forever in 70 AD,

He destroyed the Levitical priesthood, but not the priesthood of Christ and His Church.

this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood (Heb 7:24)

Catholic priesthood is forever in the order of Melchizedek. It is an unfortuinate coincidence of the English language that the word is the same.
