Please elaborate, I would not want to simply take your opinion for that. Show me that there is no scriptural support for the Priesthood. And what is the priesthood from your denominational perspective ? I am always open to truth. If yours is upheld by scripture then I will apply it. So, from what denominational point of view are you speaking from?
I am simply giving you the biblical truth about priests, not from any denominational perspective. When you go through the New Testament personally, you will find the following truths:
1. All the children of God are placed within a Royal Priesthood, which means that
every believer is a priest -- and we are kings and priests before God. See 1 Peter 2, and Rev 1:5,6.
2. Because the Lord Himself is the Divine High Priest who offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice (the Lamb of God who took away the sin of the world)
the Levitical priesthood was abolished, and after the destruction of the temple at Jerusalem in AD 70,
the entire system of priests and sacrifices was rendered null and void. Study the epistle to the Hebrews.
3.
In the apostolic New Testament churches, there were just two offices -- that of elder/bishop (or pastor/elder/bishop) and that of deacon. Both offices required that the men (never women) who were appointed from within the assembly meet specific requirements (see 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus as well as Acts). And there was always a PLURALITY of both elders and deacons, to ensure that one man did not carry the entire burden, nor mislead the entire flock. At the same time the deacons would focus on the temporal affairs of the church and the elders on their spiritual welfare.
4.
But the elders were not clergy, and Christ had strictly forbidden His disciples to take any clerical titles such as Master (now Doctor or Monsigneur) or Rabbi (now Reverend or Right Reverend), or Father (now Holy Father or Father). Therefore "All ye are brethren". So every one within the church was a priest, but the elders were the shepherds of the flock. See 1 Peter 5.
5.
The term for elder is presbuteros in Greek, but elders are never called priests (hiereus). However, they were interchangeably called bishops (
episkopos) which means overseer, since they took spiritual oversight of the assembly.
6.
The Lord's Supper was a Memorial Feast and the bread and wine were symbolic of the body and blood of Christ. There were no altars, no priests, and no sacrifices such as the Mass. See 1 Cor 11.
You do not have to take my word for any of this. All you need is
Nave's Topical Bible (KJV) and search out all these subjects for yourself.
