Re: Google glorifies evolutionist! Boycott peas!

Are you having trouble reading this morning? It is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone who believes in Jesus Christ and who follows† His teachings to be a priest because
1.JESUS HIMSELF IS THE HIGH PRIEST I Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:24

oh, there isn't a "2"

† the trouble with copy/pasting the first entry thrown up by a Google search is that if you don't know what the words used in the definition mean you end up worse off than you were before. A Christian not only believes in Jesus Christ and His teachings but FOLLOWS THOSE TEACHINGS. The devils believe Jesus' teachings, but do not follow them.
In your case, you need to understand what those teachings are before you use the definition to determine whether any "church" or "individual" or "priest" is a Christian or not.
You are incapable of doing that because you don't know what the definition you looked up actually means. James 2:19

The same applies to your definition of "priest" — what about priests of Baal for example? The high priestess of Astarte? Is a temple prostitute excluded? Or does she have a priestly function? None of them are included in your definition, since none of them are Anglicans or Catholics or Other Orthodox.

Then you need to explain what a priest of Baal might be.
Or a priestess of Astarte.

Thousands of archæologists have an answer based on several centuries of experience, together with concrete evidence. That doesn't mean what they say is always right of course, but they all know who or what Baal was and that he had priests.

With your nose glued to some banal search engine (I know you didn't actually click either link) and zero experience "in the field" how can you ever make a value judgement about which definitions might be accurate? Words signify ideas or objects and which word signifies which idea is determined by usage. How do you know what usage prevails if you never have any contact with the people who actually use the words? You don't know what we mean, for example.

Did Astarte have priests? Your dictionary would say "NO" (but you haven't read Webster's at all: you don't know what it says). A priest is an intermediary. There is no such thing as a Christian priest because ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL OF CHRISTIANITY there is NO LONGER A RÔLE FOR ANY INTERMEDIARY: it is explicitly stated to be so.

Which is the more reliable source concerning Christianity would you say?
A 3rd hand dictionary definition or THE ACTUAL SOURCE MATERIAL ITSELF?

People might pretend to be anything, oxymoronic (e.g. a Christian "priest") or simple deception (the drug dealer who pretends to be your friend). It doesn't alter what they really are.

But I may have been hasty. There's some additional material that might be appropriate HERE. Let me know how you get on.

There are multiple definitions for the same word, or are you to dull to even know that?

"1.a person whose office it is to perform religious rites, and especially to make sacrificial offerings.
2. (in Christian use) a. a person ordained to the sacerdotal or pastoral office; a member of the clergy; minister.

b. (in hierarchical churches) a member of the clergy of the order next below that of bishop, authorized to carry out the Christian ministry."

Obviously I used the definition that best fit my explanation, unless you were too dull to figure that out.

No I do not know why Catholicism has priests. Maybe they shouldn't, but they do.

The one that counts is the one that agrees with God's Word. Do you honestly think that any lexicographer can overrule the Almighty?

No I do not know why Catholicism has priests. Maybe they shouldn't, but they do.

Thanks for clicking the links. Your views on the Romish priesthood are quite interesting, no wonder they are all sex perverts. They are mentioned in The Bible (their supposed source material) too:

I Timothy 4:1-3
II Peter 2:12-14
