I find nothing exegetically available in the passage cited which would accommodate the sacerdotal structure the Roman Catholic Church (or Catholic Church) has developed. There exists in your organization the habit of taking statements such as this and extending them beyond their ordinary interpretations. Once done, it is simple to prove anything you wish.
That a certain or special group of men would lay claim to such “consecration”, intimating it was not intended to be the general inheritence of all believers, belies an underlying arrogance. Sorry, I am even more convinced that the priesthood is a fabrication of needy men. Nowhere following the resurrection are Priests noted as a part of the free and open Gospel of Christ. It is only when we enslave ourselves to your self-proving arguments that we find support for the trappings of Roman Catholicism. The Bible is refreshingly sending us to Christ, alone.
The arrogance you mention would be Christ's arrogance, since the consecration is His doing.
Nowhere following the resurrection are Priests noted as a part of the free and open Gospel of Christ.
The real self-proving argument at work here is sola scriptura, which is inconveniently not found in the Bible.
The consecration is indeed available to virtually all Christian men willing to donate their total selves to priesthood. You for example, could convert, go to a seminary and become a priest in the Catholic rite that will accomodate your marital status.
Au contraire, they most certainly are. They're called "elders," "presbyteroi" in the Greek, from which we get the word "priest".
