Just answer the question Father. Give him a version you recommend. This ought to be good. You will run with this question and attention like OJ through an airport.

I see. And have you already read it all, or you're still working through it?

I have read it through many times, as well as many other versions, and the original languages versions.

I see. And while reading all those versions, did you find anything about the Catholic Priesthood?

Because there was no Catholic Priesthood in the church. It's an invention of man, and it's not scriptural. Am I close?

I see. There is no mention of pandas, penguins or polar bears in the Bible. Does it therefore follow for you that pandas, penguins and polar bears are "an invention of man"?

No, but that is a false analogy. The priesthood is a theological matter. It is an invented class of men who claim authority, but who were not a part of the early church. Why is that so hard to admit?

I see. Leaving aside all classes of men necessarily being "invented", what proof do you have for your claim that the priesthood was not a part of the early church?

Paul lays out the offices of the church: elder (which is the same as bishop and pastor as they are used interchangeably), deacon, teacher, and evangelist. Surely he would have mentioned something so important as the priesthood even once?

No, I am referring to the entire New Testament. There are Jewish priests in the gospels, but not Christian ones.

I see. And do you have a theory for why "Christian" priests are not mentioned in the gospels?

Because there was no office of Christian priest in the early church. There was no such thing. The New Testament clearly teaches the priesthood of all believers in that we can all approach the Father directly through the Son's sacrifice, not through a human intermediary.

I see. Quote the original Greek passages that have led you to these conclusions so that we can start to help you understand where you're going wrong.
