I asked first ....What I hear being admitted is it is fine that the NT church of scripture has no priesthood.. because the Roman church has a right and authority to make up roles in their church.. and I agree..

BUT what they do not have is the right to then claim THEY are the first true church designed by the Holy Spirit ...because there is absolutely no similarity

"....What I hear being admitted is it is fine that the NT church of scripture has no priesthood."

What was admitted was that ample Scriptural support for the priesthood. The direct references include:

1 Peter 2:5 - be a holy priesthood to offer sacrifices through Christ 1 Timothy 3:1,8; 1 Timothy 5:17 - identifies roles of bishops, priests and deacons Titus 1:5 - Commission for bishops to ordain priests

Now, tell me where Scripture says that Scripture shall be the only source for the Revealed Word.
