New Covenant New Rules, and words can acquire different definitions as time goes by.

For instance scripture used to exclusively mean writings, now if refers to the Bible.

The Bible is an interesting word as well. It cam from the Phoenician Port city Bublos which is where papyrus came from. Then it came to mean papyrus.

This became Biblion which means plural of book. Then it became Biblia which is a collection of books. Finally we get to Bible.

Glad I could clarify this for you.

I think the RCs here think we are all stupid.. The NT was written AFTER the New Covenant ...The Holy Spirit CHOSE to have it written in GREEK ... Greek is the most precise language.. even Rome can not make that language change what it means

The jewish priesthood WAS A TYPE of Christ fulfilled on the cross.. He was both the priest and the sacrifice for sin ..fulfilling both types.. as if to put an exclamation point on it God destroyed the jewish priesthood in 70 AD

As I noted earlier the greek had words for priest, and it was NEVER used in the NT church...because there was no more offerings for sin.. no more sacrifices

Rome has danced around a tried to give the greek a meaning that fits its narrative.. but it is nothing more than smoke and mirrors..
