Why the priests of religion are unnecesary

The Born again believer has a High Priest who in continuously before God the Father. Who better can advocate for men but the Son of Man?Heb 2:12-18 (KJV)12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.***********************************17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.***********************************18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.Who Better to plead our case than the one who saved us, who better than the one who delivered us from sin and death? He who lived as a man, suffered all the same temptations and problems of life in this world, but he who paid full price for the sin of every man.Likewise, who better to judge the ones who denied Him and followed others.Our High Priest molested no one, lied to no one. He did the work of His Father as desired by Him, no matter the cost to his person, for the Honor set before Him.It is totally impossible for any man to pay penance for their sin. Tell me, do you really think that you can do a better job of it than Jesus, the Son of God?

Your a liar. Why would anyone listen to you. Priests of the true
religion are very necessary.

Religions are not specified here, and all are either Kings and or Priests.

Where is this true religion? To you they are the judges on earth,
they can call for peoples to be put to death and they are above even
the words of Jesus. Sorry I totally reject your true Church.

Now where is this true religion on earth?

Religion, no, but Church, yes, but she is hidden. The reason you ask
such a question, Matt, is the evidence she is hidden. All the organised
religions a frauds masquerading as the True Church.

They are spoken of by the Lord...

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! [Sinner
religions] for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when
he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

That is what these religions are: hypocrites, clearly, for they preach
doctrines and theologies to their hearers, but they, by far, do not
uphold them. Hypocrites. It is pathetic to watch! Those preachers
present a whitewashed sepulchre, beautiful on the outside, and like to
pretend there is nothing dead inside, fluffy with trivially admitted
sins, like failing to say sorry, or making a "mistake" or doing a "piece
of stupid," when there is a deep darkness inside; like soaking in the
self-glory of being important in the pride of life.

It is obvious!

No surprise then when you see many of them fall, whereas the day before
the fall, there they were prancing and dancing bible on the stage,
soaking in the reverence of their followers. And then it turns hideous!
Anyone would think Brian Houston slept with 50 prostitutes, was a heroin
addict, and committed all his father's paedophile sins!

Such complete and utter self-righteous judgement from sinners upon a
sinner! There is a "religion" for you.

It makes me sick to see it.

The True Church is the remnant from old in the wilderness down through
the ages, hidden from the world - away from the "angel of light"
religions, who are not the light and who seek to devour her - until the
time of the Lord. She is no swinging door sinner, Church; she keeps the
commandments of her God and bears the true testimony of the Lord Jesus
Christ in her heart.

She will rise up out of the wilderness robed in white as snow when the
Lord comes in the clouds for His bride. Not unto judgement, oh no, but
unto the embrace of her husband; what a day, like no other, that will
be! Praise the Lord.

Dear Tessie, that is a sweeping statement. You have swept up everything
in one Tessie extra special brooming statement!

Faith without works is dead. By the way, that means, what you do is
what is really said.

However, "works" in regard to self-salvation is impossible. With man,
nothing is possible, but with God every darn thang is not a problem,
because He is God. But, man is not God, so all that righteousness
people strive for in the flesh is vanity.

NO, idiot. there are several. Bible says 439 times even when you
search Priest. Then their are more, of the Priesthood yes.
So no, he is just one of the priest , not the only priest. example,
Leviticus

6 And when the days of her purification are expired, for a son, or for
a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the
testimony, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a
turtle for sin, and shall deliver them to the priest:

12 But he that will be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the
priest, who ministereth at that time to the Lord thy God, and the decree
of the judge, that man shall die, and thou shalt take away the evil from
Israel: 13 And all the people hearing it shall fear, that no one
afterwards swell with pride.

Like you are doing, ya swelling with pride prideful bastard. You
refuse to listen sicko

see that is precept law above. Show me where it says, the old

In the NT the greek word in english we use for the functions of
"priest/pastor" is "Presbyter". It derived from germanic "prestar"> Among
other duties they laid on hands for ordination, taught the gospel, and
presided over the "Eucharist/communion". There came to be 3 levels of
defined clerical offices in the NT and by the beginning of the 2nd century.
They were "bishop,"Presbyter, deacon". The NT greek wword for "priest/or
high priest" was the name for another role based on those people who
performed animal sacrifice in the temple, including for the yearly
intercession for the forgiveness of sins. For which Christ assumed that
role for us.

Servant, you are way off base here, first off "High priest is a term or word
spoken of specifically of a "High Priest". In this case, Jesus. Greek
archiereus ar-khee-er-yuce'

Priest is in greek hiereus hee-er-yooce'

Deacon in Greek diakoneoÌ„ dee-ak-on-eh'-o

Bishop in Greek episkopeÌ„ ep-is-kop-ay'

Pastor in Greek poimeÌ„n poy-mane'

I will leave it to you to locate and understand what these offices are defined
as, according to the Bible and NOT the theology of man.

There are other offices mentioned which are not found in your religion but are
ordained of the Heavenly Father.

Correction, the original info was as in the subject "priest" as we use in
english as "priest/pastor". Again to make the point of language
reference, it already covered the info above here once again:

In the NT the greek word in english we use for the functions of
"priest/pastor" is "Presbyter". It derived from germanic "prestar"> Among
other duties they laid on hands for ordination, taught the gospel, and
presided over the "Eucharist/communion". There came to be 3 levels of
defined clerical offices in the NT and by the beginning of the 2nd century.
They were "bishop,"Presbyter, deacon". The NT greek wword for "priest/or
high priest" was the name for another role based on those people who
performed animal sacrifice in the temple, including for the yearly
intercession for the forgiveness of sins. For which Christ assumed that
role for us.

Servant, You replied to my post, using the scripture that was posted which
spoke specifically of the High Priest. Therefore I corrected your
misapplication, and then along with that gave you and anyone who reads this the
definition from koine Greek to todays English so that all might understand,
including you, were you so inclined to know the truth.

Now you shift the goal posts to "priests" as stated in the subject. That is
fine, as God already covered that base, and the interpretation of the word
Priest was also listed for all to see. It is not and never was, pastor

Thayer Definition:

1) a priest, one who offers sacrifices and in general in busied with sacred
rites

1a) referring to priests of Gentiles or the Jews

2) metaphorically of Christians, because, purified by the blood of Christ and
brought into close intercourse with God, they devote their life to him alone
and to Christ

I suggested nothing. I referred you to scripture, and back to the original
language as interpreted in the English of today.

The Word of the Almighty God stands.

Your words are the words and opinion of men. Yet you describe very will what is
wrong with following the religion of men and not following God through Jesus
Christ.

As the original post was confused a what form of "priest of religion"
intended, he can clarify. Is it to jewish temple prieste or to clergy in
some churches who are labeled as "priests" in their very different
respective roles?

Or is the thread a bashing of that clerical role or just a simple confusion
with temple priests with a very different role? Does the same english
title for each cause the confusion in the poster's mind/ententions?

They need more correction than you can offer Servant. These are all
infidels on here, they believe they can make their own religion. FACT.
Of Bribes.

They remind me of Joe Biden, Bribed Ukraine right into a war with the
Russian President. Now their dead an dying, and he is happy as a pig
in shit for it with Koch industries holding the key to the money.

$$$$$$$$ Believe me, that is what he really is. Deep in his own shit.

I will not hold their hand. Not to much. the Catholic Church has always
been the same dam Church of the same Jews who carried the scrolls. Just
where do you think they would go to lie about Jesus.?

And it is understood why. Because He built the real Church. Apostles.
What is not understood, is why they eliminated the truth of their own
law. But really, they did not, they never obeyed it in the first place,
and that is Why Jesus came. It is a identical copy to what they are
doing to the real US Constitution of the United States today. Ripping
the fact that the woman was made from the mans rib out of it.

Believe me, it wont work at all. I know my God. His true priests are
necessary. It is His Religion, no one can steal it from Him. He said
so. Just the books, they will be changed yes, and they are. On this
rock I will build my Church, He said it. Not me, that is instructions
of what to do. Like it or not. These on here do not. But it does
not mean its yours, it means it is His. An it will not falter. WE have
a couple true priest still, but we also have a mess. Its called the
internet and the wilderness. But its also clear, that it is the way the
Bible is written.

God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Are you ready for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit similar to the one in the
early ekklesia?

This one will be far greater than the previous one in all things, and it
heralds the return of Christ in the Clouds for the ones made righteous by the
shed blood of the Lamb, and all those who shed their bodies to be with Jesus.

taught others, and set faithful men over local congregations in order
to teach the next generation.

taught as the Faith is the "Apostolic Faith", that there couldn't be

must be the True Religion, because it is not the Apostolic Faith.

I know that you have repeated restated what you believe the
Christians Scriptures mean. How ever, there still remains that small
issue that the Gospels and Letters of the Apostles were not written
for decades after Pentecost.
Paul's letters are full of admonitions and reminders of what he
had taught them. He wasn't telling them anything new in his letters,
but reminding them what he had spoken.
Meh, self directed lone rangers always seem to consider Jesus so

Robert once again confirms that he knows nothing of Orthodoxy. If
he did, he might not open his mouth and spout foolishness.

LOL! Well here you are, being one smart cookie, and not opening your mouth
to prove what you said, lest you be foolish. KUDOS to you. ;)

Like I said: you are invincibly ignorant of anything prior to your
finding a book, and unabashedly proud of that fact.

Have you or your crony woman friend ever openly stated your doctrines or the
history of your schism with the RCC? Have you ever shared of any perceived
value in its doctrines and traditions of men? Or have you been too embarrassed
to share it, or could it be that your knowledge of it is less than weak.

You can accuse me all you want, it is insincere at best, since you can offer
nothing to contest it. You cannot show where I am wrong.

For instance you pray to Mary and ask her, you say, to speak to the Heavenly
Father for you, Yet, Jesus clearly states that no man can access the Father but
by Him.

God despises those that say there is a Queen of Heaven, yet you all celebrate
Mary as such.

Do you ever speak of the first popes of Rome where of the Orthodox side when
they were in the power side electorally. Do you ever speak of the two paths of
the Papal lines? One with Peter as its head, the other with Paul as its head.
Do you ever openly speak of the various gaps in the papal lineage and why they
cannot be resolved? Or are these family secrets not to be openly discussed and
fleshed out?

Jesus specifically mentioned that the Born Again ones are to Pray to Our
Heavenly Father.
And
Mat 6:7
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Joh 9:31
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of
God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Are you ready for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit similar to the one in the
early ekklesia?
This one will be far greater than the previous one in all things, and it
heralds the return of Christ in the Clouds for the ones made righteous by the
shed blood of the Lamb, and all those who shed their bodies to be with Jesus.

Yes and???? Oh yes, that is correct, Robert can't ask another to
pray for him, for he apparently equates such requests as idolatry.
(not to mention his apparent lack of any forefathers, role models, or
heroes of his faith. Those who underwent may afflictions and yet kept
the faith.

Why do you practice knowing deceit? IOW's why the false witness?

Other than King Saul going to a spirit medium to call up Isaiah from the dead,
where in the Bible do you find reference to a man seeking the dead to ask them
for help?

Our expert in all matters scripture and church history is of a view that
asking those departed and alive with God for intercession for us is of no
avail.

As to intercession Paul instructs in 1Tim.:

2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

the dead are not aware of earthly matters, including ourselves. Multiple
verses say otherwise, the parable of the beggar and the rich man a prime
example. But include Paul in Hebrews.In chapter 11 he lists people of the
Ot to say this in reference in the next chapter:

12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses

John speaks of those in heaven worshiping God in various ways. Also of the
outcome of their intercession for those alive on earth in Revelation:

6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which
they held:

6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell
on the earth?

6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said
unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until
their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as
they were, should be fulfilled.

Jesus, the way, always taught us to pray to the Heavenly Father.

“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut
thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in
secret shall reward thee openly.” (Mat 6:6)

And as he was preparing to go Jesus said this.

Joh 16:22-28

22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart
shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give ityou.

24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that
your joy may be full.

25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I
shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the
Father.

26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray
the Father for you:

27For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have
believed that I came out from God.

28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the
world, and go to the Father.

There is nothing in the verse you provided that spoke of the dead. As you said
here, "the dead are not aware of earthly matters". There are no verses that
speak otherwise, else they would have been quote here. There is also no mention
of any prayers of intercession by the departed ones.

In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar both were dead, the rich
man in hell and Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham, in paradise. {Paradise was a
holding place for the departed saints in the bowels of the earth.) Held captive
there until Jesus paid the price for sin and then they were redeemed and set
free. Never at any time was there communication between the living and the
dead. You can read and learn from Luke 16,

12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses

The "wherefore" (toigaroun) reaching back and gathering together all the heroes
of Heb 11:4-40, their faith, and their exploits, is an emphatic particle,
strongly affirming the facts on which the following exhortation is based. The
words "we also" are not to be construed with "are compassed about, etc.," but
with "let us run." The Nestle Greek text so punctuates. The Old Testament
saints, the witnesses of chapter 11, were not compassed about with a cloud of
witnesses. They are the witnesses of whom the writer is speaking.

"Therefore also as for us, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us,
having put off and away from ourselves every encumbrance and that sin which so
deftly and cleverly places itself in an entangling way around us, with patience
let us be running the race lying before us."

IOW's, these whose witness to us in scripture, as an example of the awesome
love and power of God in the lives of those who desire and follow him, let us
run as they did, our examples of Faith in operation.

Do take note. They knew nothing of the day to day happenings on earth. No blow
by blow news programs. They knew as did the rich man of his brothers who were
left behind, that they would face the same fate as he did and wanted a
miraculous action to take place so that they could be delivered.

Those who were under the altar were fully aware of what was happening when they
departed yet the Lord said their brethren which were to be killed for their
testimony must take place first, as told to them when they were anointed to be
a witness for him in the Great Tribulation. They will all be rewarded greatly
in Heaven. Plus, as I recall, will always be near Jesus throughout eternity.

Don't you believe God can handle all things? Love all the saints as He loves
His Son? Are there any true believers who are neglected or deprioritized?

Why do you believe that God is not capable and that you need someone behind the
scenes to speak to God so that you can have an advantage over those that speak
directly to Him?

Is not the Holy Spirit that dwells within the spirits of the righteous an
intercessor for the individual before the Father?

“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we
should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts
knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the
saints according to the will of God.” (Rom 8:26-27)

“And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty
to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how
to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up
within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional
sighs too deep for words. God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our
longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy
Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony
with God’s plan and our destiny.” (Rom 8:26-27)

If these things be true, what need do you have of others if you walk in the
spirit?

Now should we pray for others? Most definitely! Not all men are redeemed. Not
all believe. Not all walk in the spirit.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for
all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in
Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will
therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and
doubting.” (1Ti 2:1-8)

Now some believer may be in bondage due to their sinning, or simple being
attacked by the evil one who knows that they are weak in Faith, So James speaks
in regards to this here,...

“Are there any believers in your fellowship suffering great hardship and
distress? Encourage them to pray! Are there happy, cheerful ones among you?
Encourage them to sing out their praises! Are there any sick among you? Then
ask the elders of the church to come and pray over the sick and anoint them
with oil in the name of our Lord. And the prayer of faith will heal the sick
and the Lord will raise them up, and if they have committed sins they will be
forgiven. Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then
pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released
through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer!” (Jas 5:13-16)

These are all evidences of Believers in Jesus, those who follow him, are
ministers of Jesus and not a priest of any certain religions. There is a big
huge difference.

Jesus says to do thus and so. Priests of a religion say that these things are
not for today, and preach and teach doubt and unbelief. Neither God nor His Son
ever taught that.

So you, as do others, HAVE TO DECIDE. Follow Jesus, or follow the religion of
men, their traditions, etc.?

Jesus, the way, always taught us to pray to the Heavenly Father.

Before the Lord's crucifixion and return from whence He came.

Dogma, doctrine, and theology are all these people know - trying to
follow religious rules to save themselves; it is self-righteousness (the
desire to be God). This is where those who live a religious, humanistic
existence separate from those who walk in the Spirit of Truth with the Lord.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Father!

And even when you show them in the scriptures, they ignore them because
it doesn't register with their religious views and dogma; they can't
fathom it.

Jer_10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an
everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations
shall not be able to abide his indignation.

Rom_12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith
the Lord.

1Co_8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all
things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, BY WHOM ARE ALL
THINGS, and we by him.

Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one
hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

The Father and the Lord Jesus Christ - One Holy Spirit. It just don't
fit in their fallen minds! It is an eternal perspective/understanding,
not a human finite perspective/understanding.

Isa_9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.

A child, a son, the mighty God, an everlasting Father, and a Prince –
oh, how is it possible to my fallen little religious mind??? Well, it
is what it is, but, like I said, show them the scriptures, and they have
to pass them by because their will is that they BE GOD (like the
atheists), controlling what is and what is not in their minds by their
own power.

Well, good luck in trying to be God, the Roberts of this world!

Bottom line, God is eternal; He is all eternal. That is why you can have
a Father be the Son and a Son be the Father. Of course!

Unless you believe the Lord Jesus Christ is not God?

"To seek your own will is to seek your own glory."

"If God is not first in everything He is not first in anything."

"What makes the bible the truth? The resonance of God."

"All men were born sinners. Why? Because all men were born not loving
God with all their heart, soul and mind. An abomination. Therefore,
sin is not what you do, it is what you are."

"Compromise will condemn you."

"There are no sinners in Christ Jesus."

"My sons are born of Me. In them is no darkness at all."

"You can't learn righteousness. Haven't you had enough time already to
know that?"

"The way of truth is the testimony of life."

"I merely speak the truth, what is revealed to me, and the cards fall

"Keep going forward. Forget about the past. Lift up your head, look
ahead."

"You cannot be free with guilt in your heart."

"Priority is everything."

"The truth doesn't need evidence, it is evidence."

"There is no greater possession a man has than his own will, to squander
it or to place it where it truly belongs."

"An atheist is a fool who thinks truth is found in living a lie."

"Saying "prove it" [as a foundation] is merely an ignorant straw man, to
an ignorant straw man."

"Wait, rest, be still, and know."

"No man can wash his own hands!!!"

"I find this in the Christianity religions: 'Nobody's perfect' they say,
and they use that as an excuse not to do what is perfect."

The Atheist: "They don't believe and put their faith in a Creator (the
obvious). So no evidence and proof is to be found!!"

"The world is the way it is because God can't compromise who He is."

"Man is not the centre of being."

"Man is incompatible with the natural world because of his sinful nature."

"And then the Lord said, "I see everything."

"Man has no greater idol than his own will."

"Where is God hiding? He isn't."

"If you don't keep all the scriptures, you can't keep any of them."

"You can't prove anything because everything depends on a person's
willingness to believe."

"Atheists are ultimately trying to be pointlessness, meaninglessness,
and purposelessness in their point, meaning, and purpose."

"The last day of creation will be the last day of time. God is always
full of hope."

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, not to have a book pass
through it so that you could play God."

"A phylactery does not a heart for God make. Not back then, and not today."

"No one in heaven is better (or higher) than what makes it heaven. Such
is the love of God."

"The definition of an atheist: A man full of bluster and bullshit
pretending he is the meaning of life."

"Free will is not power; it is the choice that I allow; that choice is
still according to my power," says the Lord.

It is ok, as you were told many times, if fellow living believers were asked
to intercede or join with one in prayer, but never some person who passed
from this world to the next. Jesus intercedes as our High Priest and the
indwelling Holy Spirit presents our prayers and needs to the Heavenly Father.
We are asked to pray one for another. Thatâ€™s it.
