"..."priest occupy a place midway between God and human nature: from Him bringing to us absolving beneficence, offering our prayers to Him and appeasing the wrathful Lord."

Good catch, Dr. E. I always suspected that you folks came to your theology by inheritance from your Holy Mother.... :)

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Nope. We “folks came to our theology by inheritance” by, for and through Jesus Christ alone, according to the indwelling Holy Spirit, as taught in the Scriptures and preached among the congregations of the church.

On the contrary, there is no need for priests.

We have access to God the Father directly through Jesus Himself.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

Hebrews 9:15
Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Hebrews 12:24
..and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
