The NT has a priesthood Heb 7 15. Just read your BIBLE and attempt to comprehend the most elementary parts. No wonder this thread concerns itself with the turning of the Evangelical to Catholicism. Attempt to debate in a forthright manner

Hbr 7:15 — And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest

This is really sad.. my friend.. This is talking about Christ. a PRIEST..not priests.. Hebrews is about Christ

The OT priesthood was a TYPE of Christ ..offering a sacrifice for sin.. The priesthood type was fulfilled at the cross ... God put an exclamation mark on the destruction of the type when he destroyed the jewish priesthood in 70 ad

God clearly outlines the roles in the new church in the NT and there is no priesthood

Once again your comment is prima face evidence of your inability to correctly interpret scripture. This is caused by the sin of pride enveloping your heart or lack of infusion of the Spirit. One of the primary reasons Evangelicals leave for Catholicism is that they tend to have higher intelligence and want to associate with those destined for eternal salvation. Think of the parable of the master who gives his servants money and demands a return. You appear to have buried any talent rendered to you.

The priesthood was established by Christ at the Last Supper when He commanded the apostles to "Do this in Commemoration of Me." Yet your scriptural challenged interpretation can't fathom the words of out Savior. In the end maybe your group lacks competence and must remain in this perpetual state of blissful ignorance but continue to pray to the Spirit for wisdom. God bless.
