“I cannot find outside of man’s traditions that a priest is the only one that can serve the ‘sacraments’...”
Sure you can. Christ only chose 12 men, for instance. Acts and St. Paul’s letters make it clear that only some men possessed authority to perform certain functions.
“At the death of Christ on the cross that veil in the holy of holies was rent from top to bottom... each individual has direct access to the Heavenly Father from that point forward in Christ.”
Access, yes. All authority, no. https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/is-there-a-new-covenant-ministerial-priesthood
“These preacher boys prostituting and playing porn videos, sure do not have ‘the’ sacraments on their minds...”
No, they don’t, but that just means they are sinners - like so many other people. It doesn’t mean they are NOT priests.
“You think their activity is hidden from the Creator, calling themselves ‘holy father’...”
That comment is an ignorant one. Who is “You” in that sentence? There’s not a single Catholic anywhere who thinks what these priests have done is somehow missed by God.
“The ‘sacraments’ they are serving come straight from the devil.”
No, they come straight from Jesus. Jesus founded the Sacraments, not the human priest. That’s why the sacraments of even a sinful priest (and who among human beings isn’t sinful these days?) are still effective for those disposed towards God’s grace. The sacraments are dependent upon God for their power - not sinful men.
“I would remind you what God said would come to pass... Amos 8: 11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: “”
Which probably already happened in ancient times since that’s connected to verse 14 by the way. One should be careful about assuming Old Testament prophecies are about modern times since most Old Testament prophecies are about Old Testament or about Christ’s time on earth.
“Preachers of all stripes are starving the sheep, while setting up soup kitchens.. for the illegals they get government funding to house.”
That is true. And your post is akin to what they do. You offer up personal interpretations, and even personal exegesis about things you apparently don’t understand. You’re not much better than one of those “starving the sheep, while setting up soup kitchens”.
The famine is far and wide.. Before one jot or tittle of the so called New Testament ever got placed on plant fibers or animal skins Christ declared ... Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. This would be the holy prophets from the so called old..Testament... Paul said
1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
That ‘OLD’ Testament is our script as to what will be again...
“Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?” NO!!!
These priest are no more of Christ than is an atheist.
