To: biblewonk; Mark in the Old South

I gave you a number of New Testament references to priests in relation to the laity and to the bishops in #185. You ignored them.

Mark in the Old South gave you a scriptural reference to celibate life praised by Jesus. Your response was to point out that celibacy is voluntary. Duh.

When a scriptural reference is given you, you ignore it and change the subject. This is a behavior of a troll. Now, as many have recommended, if you have general questions about Christianity, find or start an appropriate thread and we will be happy to educate you -- if you are willing to learn. On this thread, I will stick to its topic form now on. The detour is over.

I thought I pointed out that Elders/Bishops are not in any way priests. I pointed it out to someone. That is still the case. That accounts for your references to Timothy and Titus.

How nasty of you. I suspect you are getting frustrated because the bible doesn't say what you wish it said about priests. I knew that going into this and now I hope that you can see that too, although, I'd never expect to see an RC admit that publicly. Let us all conclude that the bible does not in any way define the position of priest in the Church.
