Jefferson Tells the Truth

[_Albion]

You are avoiding my post. Apart from usurping the holy priesthood that belongs only to Jesus, what exactly do you disagree with in my post? Is it Jewish history...is it that the Levitical priesthood, the one Aaron held, was reserved only for members of the tribe of Levi (this alone excludes anyone within Mormonism from holding it)...is it that there was only one high priest at a time under this priesthood (perhaps, too, you might explain how the high priest who officiated under the Levitical priesthood could be a high priest which Mormons claim is an office within the Melchizedec priesthood)...is it that this high priest did not make annual visits to the Holy of Holies to make intercession on behalf of the people....is it that the veil of the temple was not torn top to bottom signifying and end to this ritual....is it that Jesus broke down the barrier between God and man, once for all....is it that by sitting down at the right hand of the Father Jesus did not demonstrate that everything was completed? What exactly is it that is incorrect in what I posted. It would be a simple matter to check on the history from any qualified Jewish teacher. Far from being the truth shared only by evangelicals what I have given you is the understand of Christians across virtually all denominations. Answers, please and not tantrums.

You are absolutely and totally wrong, as usual!!! You have the nerve to say the sun is not shining when it clearly is!!! I have given you quote after quote from the Bible, and you are still wasting your time, my time, as well as others time here trying to feed me your dumb evangelical hogwash!!! Wake up and smell the roses, Albion!!! Paul even tells the members that THEY, yes THEY are a "royal priesthood!!!!!!!

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people..." (unlike all other apostate Christian groups, Albion!!!)

[_Albion]

Now that you have vented, gedemtz, can you answer the questions I raised in my post? Not by insults....not by throwing up a smokescreen or throwing out all kinds of other references...but simply and clearly respond to the questions I posed?

[_gdemetz]

You asked me what I thought was wrong with your posts, and I told you exactly what was wrong with them! On the one hand, you state that Christ is the only priest, and on the other hand (typical evangelical double talk) you state that all the believers have a priesthood! You are obviously wrong on both counts! Why are you clearly wrong on both counts? For the following reasons:

1- The New Testament clearly teaches that no one is to take the priesthood upon themselves except he that was called of god as Aaron was called!

2- The New Testament gives a clear example of Bishop Timothy's receiving the priesthood by the laying on of hands and the spirit of prophesy!

3- The Book of Revelation clearly refers to others who have been made priests by Christ!

Therefore, it is clearly demonstrated that others held and would hold the priesthood besides Christ!! Furthermore it is also clearly demonstrated that not all of the saints (and none of the women) were given this priesthood since it was to be given to only thoise who were found worthy by the spirit of prophesy!

Again you are avoiding my post (not posts) and reply with a smokescreen. Please, if it is possible for your to do so, answer the questions I posed four posts up.

[_gdemetz]

Albion, I answered you already! That was no smoke screen! you apparently have very little English comprehension! You claim that Christ only has the priesthood after Old Testament times, and I showed you clearly by quoting New Testament scripture how that was a lie! Now it is your turn to quote scripture to try to back up your points (if any!) I don't want your evangelical hogwash! Show me something that contradicts what I have clearly showed you from the New Testament! You can't do it because it doesn't exist!

Bishop Timothy had the priesthood conferred by the laying on of hands! That is a pure fact that shows clearly what you have said is a lie! I give you quote after quote that exposes clearly that evangelical lie! "Priests and kings", Albion! "Priests and kings", Albion! "Priests and kings," Albion! And you are going to sit there and tell me that there are no priests!! How incredibly dumb!!!!!!!

[_Albion]

gdemetz, once again you ignore the questions I asked about and ramble onb about issues that have no relevance at this point to that post. Please answer the questions and stop avoiding doing so.

[_gdemetz]

What don't you understand, Albion! Just state your question plainly! I have showed you so many scriptures already proving that there was priesthood given to others by the laying on of hands after Christ's ministry!! You have been proved wrong again by the Bible, and it is you who aren't contradicting these proofs, and it is you who are (because you can't contradict these proofs) putting up a smokescreen!!!

Which Priesthood?

[_Albion]

He can't say because it doesn't mention a specific priesthood, For a full explanation of the Christian perspective Google Priesthood of all Believers.
