[LT Brass Bancroft]

You do not have Christ at any time because you reject his priests.

You've chosen a mighty fine screen name for FR use.

Be sure not to tarnish it with blanket statements that have no evidence to back them up.

You do not have Christ at any time because you reject his priests.

>>You do not have Christ at any time because you reject his priests.<<

In the New Testament ekklesia of Christ there is only one High Priest who is Jesus Christ the royal priesthood of all born again believers.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light

There is no other office of priesthood within the New Testament ekklesia.

[daniel1212]

You do not have Christ at any time because you reject his priests.

By that logic, since as has been clearly shown here, there was no Catholic priesthood in the NT church, then you do not have Christ at any time because you invent a separate class of believers distinctively "priests" by which souls receive Christ.
