Since all believers in Christ are priests, there is no need to approach God for another believer. The other believer also has direct access to God the Father.

Clumsy liar. A priest is there for one who CANNOT approach God on his own. Answer the question: Who cannot approach God on his own via the Gospel of grace, but needs your hypothetical Christian priesthood to approach God for him?

Believers in Christ approach God the Father through Christ Jesus the High Priest, who is the one mediator between God and man:

(1 Tim 2:5) For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

Do you deny that Christ Jesus is the High Priest?

That has nothing to do with what Romans 12 is talking about.

Obviously you have never approached God.

The priesthood of believers exists in regard to many things but primarily in--

2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

but also in regard to--

1Jn 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
1Jn 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
1Jn 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Stop embarrassing yourself LA. You don't seem to notice that posters
get annoyed by your presence here? Why do you think that is?

The Royal Priesthood of the new covenant is much superior to the previous Levitical Priesthood of the old covenant.

How's your studies on Darby coming along?

Not true about writing to the house of Israel, because the Christian community inherits all the collective pictures that Israel once had. But for the sake of argument, let's say you are correct. So then when we get to 2 Pet 3, and there is a complete, ordinary-language statement about the 2nd coming, and there is nothing in it about a future theocracy on earth for Israel, in a letter TO ISRAEL, what does that tell you?

While you are looking for material directed to Israel, do you ever visit the letter to HEBREWS?

Let's see? Oh yeah, Hebrews was written to Hebrews. I suppose
you think of yourself as being, quite the genius huh? Why, you're
a regular Albert Einstein. Does that make ya feel better about
yourself? That's the best I can do for ya.

You just know nothing about it, and it is not up to us to teach you anything about it, except that you should seek Christ that you may enter into it.

Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Heb 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Heb 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Heb 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
Heb 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Heb 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Heb 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Heb 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Heb 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

All of those verses pertained to the House of Israel. Thanks for
trying so hard though. You never seem to make a good point?
Why is that? Take a wild guess and get back to me.

Do you deny that Christ Jesus is the High Priest?

I deny that the Lord Jesus Christ is the High Priest for members of the boc(which excludes you), i.e., forever justified saints.


The Lord Jesus Christ is not my High Priest now, and I am no longer considered a sinner, by the LORD God-I am a saint.

1 John 2:1 KJV, which you assume is talking to you, since all scripture, according to you, Tellalie, is about you, written to you,does not say "High Priest."

It says they have an advocate with the Father.
It does not say "High Priest"-it says "advocate."


Sinners need a Saviour, a High Priest, not an advocate. The Lord Jesus Christ is only an advocate for God the Father's children.


Of course, since you are a child of the devil, Craigie, He is your High Priest, you serpent, deceiver.



Now that is how you study, and survey the book, a book of details, paying attention to details.

I also deny that the New Covenant is enacted today. Am I lost, Craigie?

Not a peep-wimp.

You do have a gnostic compelsion complex. They have specialists in Raleigh that can help.

Well, Mayor,a man spends money getting his salt and pepper suit spotted and pressed, to go to them high fillutin' fancy doctors in Ft. Worth, for his compelsion complex, takes two hours polishing his hat, and for what? Heartaches!

You beat everything, Mayor-I don't know about you. I'm thinkin' that you are a first-rate, grade-A, number-one nut.

Did Spanky evade my question of who he, as a priest of God, intercedes for?

Yes, I answered it.

You were probably too busy starting threads in the political section with fake photoshopped pictures, fake videos, and/or fake stories.
