Who chose the two candidates?
Being Pharisaical won't help.Scripture says this?
I would agree that being commanded to be baptized (born again) in the name of Jesus refers to Matt 28:19 but it must be “I baptize you in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit”!
Thanks
No, you are not.Just following scripture
There are two priesthoods in scripture
Thanks
We are NOT speaking of equality!Are you equal with your brothers?
Scripture?The priesthood was done away by the final sacrifice of the High Priest Himself, Jesus Christ, on His cross.
I use an iPhone with spell checkSo, your claim Joseph required a vow from his brothers is wrong, then.
God ahead. Make a correction. #323.
At least admit the union of the spirit in The church established by Christ in union with his apostles made the choiceWho cares?
God made the choice.
Then it is impossible for him to be high priest!No, you are not.
Our high priest is Jesus Christ.
No others need to apply for a job that is filled.
The choice was made by God at the casting of lots.At least admit the union of the spirit in The church established by Christ in union with his apostles made the choice
Lk 22:29
The apostles have the same mission power and authority as Christ Jn 20:21-23
Since when are the leaders of Gods people sinless, impeccable?The choice was made by God at the casting of lots.
Ask your apostle if he still commits sin.
When he says "Yes", you will know he is not of God.
We need no other priest except Jesus.Then it is impossible for him to be high priest!
There must be low priests in order for there to be a high priest!
Thanks
Since the very beginning.Since when are the leaders of Gods people sinless, impeccable?
Yes.Can you be saved without a priest?
“His churches”? There is only one church! Matt 16:18-19We need no other priest except Jesus.
Thankfully, God gives His churches pastors, prophets, and deacons.
Jesus is the Head.
An only high priest is absurdWe need no other priest except Jesus.
Thankfully, God gives His churches pastors, prophets, and deacons.
Jesus is the Head.
I asked these questions to illustrate just how wrong we can be!Since the very beginning.
When Peter said..."Repent...", those obedient to the command quit committing sin.
Yes.
No man controls the fate of another man.
Agreed, as I was only referring to far spread sites.“His churches”? There is only one church! Matt 16:18-19
Jn 10:16
What things?Where does say we can decide these things?
Eventually the instructed become instructors.We are not apostles and have no authority, we must be instructed with humble submission and hear the church Christ founded to teach and sanctify all men unto eternal salvation Matt 18:17 Matt 28:19 lk 1:4 acts 8:31
He will indeed, so as it says in Luke 22:30, they can judge the twelve tribes of Israel.Yes of course Christ is the head and has all authority and the church is subject unto Christ. Jn 15:5 eph 5:24
But he gave the kingdom to the apostles lk 22:29
Us, all of us.Revelation 5:10
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Works well in the OT.The low priests offer the sacrifice of Christ mal 1:11
For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts.
As any man can fulfill these, and other tasks, in the name of Jesus Christ, it is superfluous to mention any titled office holder besides bishops/pastors and deacons.inisterial priesthood: “apostles & their successors, and those they ordain” (low priests)
With priestly ministry:
Mk 3:14 “ordained”
Jn 15:16 “chosen” “ordained”
Jn 20:21 “sent by Christ with His authority”
Jn 20:23 “power to forgive sins”
Acts 1:8 “anointing with power”
acts 1:15-26 “ministry / bishop”
Acts 2:38-39 “administered sacraments”
acts 14:23 “ordained”
Acts 16:4 “ordained “
Rom 15:16 “minister / sanctify”
1 cor 9:14 “ordained”
1 Tim 2:7 “ordained”
1 Tim 3:1-2 “bishop”
1 Tim 4:14 “priest” “priestly ministry”
Phil 1:1 “bishops deacons”
James 5:14 “anointing with oil”
The ministerial priesthood acts in “the person of Christ” so it is Christ who acts thru them vicariously.
2 cor 2:10 Jn 15:5 eph 5:24
That would be everyone who has permanently turned from sin, and unto God.Royal priesthood: “baptized members of Jesus Christ”
1 pet 2:5-9
Have you not heard?An only high priest is absurd
The mosaic covenant had two priesthoods one ministerial with a high priest and the other the royal priesthood of the faithful
Same in the new covenant
Christ reformed the mosaic covenant into the new covenant so there are many similarities
Heb 9:10
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Thanks
Without the High Priest.I asked these questions to illustrate just how wrong we can be!
Heb7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
The savior is a priest so it’s impossible to be saved without a priest!
Written of those who walk in darkness-sin.1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
There is a marked difference in scripture between the ministerial order of priests (apostles) and the royal order of priests (believers)Agreed, as I was only referring to far spread sites.
What things?
Eventually the instructed become instructors.
He will indeed, so as it says in Luke 22:30, they can judge the twelve tribes of Israel.
Us, all of us.
Works well in the OT.
We are no longer in the OT.

The Mosaic Covenant has been done away with!
It was replaced 2000 years ago by the New Covenant.
With it went the priesthood, and animal sacrifice, and feast keeping, and sabbath keeping, and circumcision, etc.
