[Salvation]

1 Peter was written around 70-90 AD -- there was only the Catholic Church founded by Christ on the Apostles at that time.

I believe you might be using Your Own Personal Interpretation of Scripture -- YOPIOS

[holden]

Such silliness!   And it's pretty insulting to suggest that straight-forward hermeneutics is YOPIOS. There is no paucity of doctoral-level-plus biblical scholars that see things the way I represented, yet you to generate a childish insult. Have you no shame?

Your question solicits references of priest occur in the bible, but then conveniently cherry pick, while leaving out other canonized, biblical scripture, ever pretending that you're covering the waterfront, so to speak, if not being exhaustive.

Are you denying biblical canon? Do you burden biblical questions with other, extra-biblical tradition?   What sense does that make?
