Your words do not change the truth of the fact there was no apostolic succession taught in scripture, no Pope and most of all no priesthood..
Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. (1 Timothy 4:14)
This may be a shock but elders and deacons are ordained with the laying on of hands.. this scripture does not prove there is a priesthood in the New Testament church
The roll of priest is very specific ... and there is no more priesthood.. you guys just have to deal with the fact that the Pope, apostolic succession and the priesthood are extra biblical roles never given to the new church buy God
These are not my words. The first quote is from Jesus Christ and the second from St. Paul. I did not write either one.
The quote from Timothy shows that the priesthood (or presbytery if you prefer) succeeds from the Apostles. You are correct that deacons are likewise ordained, but not into priesthood.
The quote from Luke instructs the apostles to offer the sacrifice of Christ. That by definition makes them priests.
My question to you is, where are the Protestant heresies of "faith alone" and "Bible alone" in the scripture?
