“Well, no, we don’t. There are no “priests” listed in the Apostle Paul’s list of Church offices. It is simply another word used for the duty of an Elder.”
The office of elder is the office of priest. Jesus was High Priest. He shared His priesthood with the Apostles.
“There were no sacrifices to offer in the NT Church.”
