That's the problem with so much of Christianity today. Everyone doing it on their own, interpreting scripture according to their own erroneous understanding, refusing the authority and foundation which Christ set forth. This forum is a good example of how dangerous that is. Everyone inventing their own silly speculative doctrines. So much heresy here. Christ never intended it to be like that. That's why he gave the keys to Peter and built his Church upon that rock who is Peter and those who directly succeeded him, i.e. the Catholic Church and Pope Francis today who is the 265th successor to Peter. THAT is the authority to interpret and teach scripture. NOT HollyLoree.
okay can we consider this as who is really our high priest is the pastor of any church or the pope? Who is the head of all and over all. What does the Pope say about this.
Hebrews 2:17Wherefore 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.
Hebrews 3:1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and
High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Hebrews 4:14Seeing then that we have a great
high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 4:15For we have not an
high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 5:1For every
high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hebrews 5:2Who
can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hebrews 5:3And by reason hereof he ought, as
for the people, so also
for himself,
to offer for sins.
Hebrews 5:4And no man taketh this honour unto himself,
but he that is called of God, as was Aaron
Hebrews 5:5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an
high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hebrews 5:10Called of God an
high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews 7:11If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the
order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the
order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec
Hebrews 7:21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec
Not trying to start anything or go against anyone only posting scripture that Christ is our only high priest today that lives forever all other priests do not continue in office, but Christ does andhas from day one just was not revealed until the cross
Anyway thankyou for your posts
