An Unauthorized and Usurping Priesthood

The Bible nowhere teaches a concept of a liturgical priesthood in the church! Nowhere is a priest appointed to offer sacrifices for sin other than Christ!

Apostles, prophets, pastors, elders – none are ever authorized to represent Christ's body and blood before God for the forgiveness of sin.

Christ alone has already presented His body and blood unto God, and taken away our sins forever.

That truth destroys the evil grip of false religion from off the people, returning their loyalty to Christ, and not the usurping, false priests imposed by wicked prelates and false popes.

The Roman Catholic catechism claims that Christ died to institute their blasphemous priesthood, so that we might have priests with us, now that Christ has died! But Hebrews declares that Christ is our high priest forever, and serves even now in glory on our behalf.

They claim that Christ meant to leave us a visible sacrifice in the Mass, because the nature of man requires it. What utter rubbish!

They claim the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sin, when Christ has already taken away our sin by His sacrifice once for all.

Many Roman Catholic clerics have made blasphemous statements about their so-called priests. Rev. James O'brien, in his book "Faith of Millions," claims that their so-called priests "bring Christ down from His throne, and place Him upon our altar to be offered up again for the sins of man. The priest speaks, and lo, Christ the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command."

O'brien concludes that their priests are "another Christ!"

"Saint" Alphonsus Ligouri was far more blasphemous in his descriptions of the "power" of their priests!
