We don't admit it because it is not true...And if there was an early church that used the word priest, it was a false church...
never admit that the word "priest" comes from "presbyter
They are fooling you...What is presbyter??? Is it supposedly a Latin word??? There are no Latin words in the Scripture...
Presbyter looks suspiciously like the word presbuteros which is a Greek word...And THAT Greek word means 'Elder'...And what is an Elder??? And why can't priest mean elder??? Because 'elder' is an old person...Biblically, you can not have a young elder...
Most of your priests come unto the scene as very young...They are starting out against the will of God...No way would God ordain a young elder
Your religion has sold you a bouquet of flowers that don't pass the smell test...
You guys claim your religious tradition along with scripture...But when your tradition is rejected by scripture, it's time to dump the tradition...
Or, instead of dumping tradition, maybe it's time for "you guys" to get some better interpretation of the scripture. You know, like John 6.
