“Actually it means Elder.”

When did I say otherwise?

“There is a specific greek word for priest and it is not presbuteros”

Again, when did I say otherwise? I said: “Presbuteros most certainly IS in the New Testament and that is the root word of the word ‘priest’.”

Presbuterous means elder and not priest... It is not the root word for priest at all. The greek word priest is a different word entirely
