They don't have anything equivalent to a priest.
You must not be to sure or you would have done it by now.
No it has not been fulfilled...Jesus does not sit on the throne of David...Jesus sits at the right hand of his Father's throne in heaven...
David was in charge of an earthly kingdom...Not a heavenly kingdom...
Around Him are His ministers for the administration of His Kingdom.
Wrong again...Jesus has only one minister at the moment and he's not a Catholic...Jesus' current minister is the Holy Spirit...
That scripture has exactly zero to do with the New Testament church...
Your religion has created a religion wholly outside of the scriptures and located a few remote scriptures that it uses to try to back up the religion...
Like your St Joseph for example...God's words says next to nothing about Joseph yet your religion has invented a complete narrative about Joseph based on nothing but fantasy...
I said nothing. Do the words of YHWH fail?
For the plainest language:
2Peter
[20] For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
[21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
[22] But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
For a fuller explanation by a man known for his deep explanations:
Hebrews 6:
[1] Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
[2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
[3] And this will we do, if God permit.
[4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
[5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
[6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
[7] For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
[8] But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
These scriptures make it plain that they are talking about men that had received the Holy Spirit, yet later turned away.
This is not a failure of the Holy Spirit, but of men that were turned away of their own lusts.

Though this is the first one i have seen lately by Gendron, who is not the sane class as James Swan and company, it is not strawmen but Catholic teaching or that which RCs teach that is being refuted.
And the recent regular postings against Cath doctrine came after years of incessant Cath. postings about their elitist church, including anti-Protestant propaganda. Which resulted in RCs whining when reproved. And in response to telling them RCs invited it by their f incessant Cath. posting, some invitated (or challenged) us to post our own. So here they are and yet RCs still whine.
Assume my answer is where I told you it was.
What did your posting "Pro_4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law (Torah)." mean regarding the doctrine of sola scriptura?
Do the words of YHWH fail?
My argument is that sola scriptura fails. First it fails it's own test by not being in scripture; second, it fails in practice, resulting in contradictory doctrine.
If your post is irrelevant to sola scriptura as a doctrine, then.. never mind.
LOL! Sure D.
Are you referring to this unidentified link you also posted to me?
Wouldn’t touch that link with a shepherd’s long staff!
Okie doke, google for yourself then:
“Calvinism vs Arminianism – Comparison Chart”
and/or:
calvinism vs arminianism debate salvation
So, it seems, you infer that YHWH’s words DO fail.
.
Yeshua said that!
Matthew 5:
[13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
[14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The church that Jesus founded.
In reality, I find RCs are typically rather ignorant of what their church teaches, and the degree of interpretation such are is subject to, and what magisterial level it belongs to, as seen by her sects, esp. with the apparent contradictions among the plethora of prolix publications by prelates.
RCs also have a great deal of liberty to interpret Scripture in ways to support Rome, while censuring us for engaging in "private interpretation, which they wrongly interpret 2Pt. 1:20 as condemning!
Yet the weight of Scriptural substantiation is not the basis for RC assurance of Truth, but which based upon the novel premise of perpetual ensured magisterial infallibility.
