The Priesthood



Does the Bible teach that the Lord Jesus Christ instituted a special class of men in the church known as.priests who would be given the authority to reconcile men with God through the Mass and through confession,and penance? The answer to that question, as we shall see, is quite simply ‘no’.
First of all, as we noted in the previous chapter, the whole concept of continuing sacrifices is completely-contradictory to the teaching of the Word of God. The Lord Jesus did not commission or institute a human,priesthood, beginning with the apostles, who would continue the offering of sacrifices in a Mass. All sacrifices.have now been abolished because the ‘once of all’ sacrifice of Jesus Christ is complete. Since the sacrifices.have been abolished (Heb. 10) there is no longer any need for a priesthood. Whatever it was the Lord Jesus was.commissioning for his apostles to do, it was not to authorize them to become priests who would continue his.sacrifice in the offering of a Mass.
