Bible Question:
1 Pet 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Pet 2:10 for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY. I'm weak on my chruch history, but wasn't the RCC opposed to the Protestants' view of the priesthood of all believers? And what is the priesthood of believers and what is some of the biblical data that supports this teaching? Peace, |
Bible Answer: Priesthood of Belivers are the elect of God; according to Revelation 20:6 these priest will be in the first resurrection. Therefore,as a child of God we are the priesthood of believers. We have been sanctified by the blood of Jesus. Also, in 1 Peter 2:5, that priesthood of believers are mentioned who should offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. |
