Hello, welcome to the forum. I noticed in your earlier post there was a reference to a "priest" which is a category of person claiming to stand between God and humanity. At one time there was a function for such people and not all priests are reviled in The New Testament, for example John the Baptist's father was a priest who accepted God's plan. Jesus however is now the only Mediator and every Christian has equal access to Him rendering the caste null and void.
I Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
There are people who claim to be "priests" and who claim the ability to communicate with God on behalf of others. They act as though they're doing something important. They even claim that everyone is "the same" meaning that everyone needs their services for their lives to be legitimate.
Acts 3:22-23; 4:1-2 [Peter speaking] Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
4:1-2 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
By this time the priestly caste

.the pharisees, the sadducees, the scribes indeed the whole motley crew

.was defunct. They must have known this but persisted with their charade and sought to block the ministry of Christ. Of course it would be possible for a priest back then to have accepted Christ and in the 4th chapter
[LINKED (above)] there's reference to a Levite doing just that; obviously he'd then stop being any sort of "priest" except in the sense that each and every Christian has direct access to Christ.
Something worth noticing here is that not everyone is the same in the eyes of Jesus, as the quoted passage spells out.
Every soul which will not hear that prophet (meaning Jesus Christ) shall be destroyed from among the people. So two distinct categories of person: those who hear Christ and those who will be destroyed.
I'm not sure which category you come into but your mentioning "priests" suggested this Scripture to me which you may like to consider. Perhaps there's a passage from Acts you also find helpful?
