"Even here in the Church the gradations of bishops, presbyters, and deacons happen to be imitations, in my opinion, of the angelic glory and of that arrangement which, the scriptures say, awaits those who have followed in the footsteps of the apostles and who have lived in complete righteousness according to the gospel" (Miscellanies 6:13:107:2 [A.D. 208]).

No priesthood there.. Like my church, he speaks of the elders , the presbyters and deacons..No priest there..

I hope that every believer follows in the footsteps of those that have gone before, that followed Christ

Show us the words of Christ on this

You need to stay consistent. Either Christ's words were part of the Old Testament and directed only at the Jews or they weren't.

With all the writings posted to wade thru I do not see what Crones seems to see in them. The dots simply do not connect to Christ...but do appear to come predominately from catholic doctrine supported by various authors outside the scripture...which I understand, though not scripture, catholics believe are none the less reliable and true in their eyes.....but IMO does not hold to scripture teaching and the fact Jesus indeed was the last and great high Priest ....the Priesthood of men ended when the veil was rent.

AMEN!

As we've seen, Roman Catholics have zero understanding of the book of Hewbrews.
