The letter to the Hebrews makes it CLEAR that any earthly priesthood is FINIS.

It's the letter to the *Hebrews*, remember. It's talking about the Jewish Levitical priesthood.

Yes but the Hebrews he was talking to was probably the Christian Church.

Hebrews 3
6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

No. The letter is written to Jewish Christians, exhorting them to stand firm in Christ and not to be drawn away to the old system, inferior in every way to Jesus. Rome resurrected something God put to death through His Son. The ONLY priesthood that once functioned between God and man has been ABOLISHED. It was inferior, to be replaced by God’s superior Son.

No one needs Rome’s ersatz priesthood. Anyone of faith can go to the Father directly through the Son.

So that allows your religion to invent its own priesthood???

You might want to note that while the Levitical priesthood was eliminated, NO ONE besides a Levite could be a priest..That disqualifies every Catholic priest that ever lived...
