A priest of Christ is a worshiper of Christ

[Fred]

A priest of God would offer worship to God.
Hebrews 9:6
Now when these things have been so prepared, the priests are continually entering the outer tabernacle performing the divine worship

A priest of Dagon would offer worship to Dagon.
1 Samuel 5:5
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor all who enter Dagon’s house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

A priest of Baal would offer worship to Baal.
2 Kings 10:19
Now, summon all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests; let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal; whoever is missing shall not live. But Jehu did it in cunning, so that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal.

A priest of Chemosh would offer worship to Chemosh.
Jeremiah 48:7
For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures,
Even you yourself will be captured;
And Chemosh will go off into exile
Together with his priests and his princes.

A priest of Zeus would offer worship to Zeus.
Acts 14:13
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds.

A priest of Christ would offer worship to Christ.
Revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

Psalm 99:5-6
(5) Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His footstool;
Holy is He.
(6) Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the LORD and He answered them.

Moses and Aaron were priests (Samuel functioned as one) who called upon the name of the Lord in worship. Christians are priests of Christ. As such they too call upon the name of the Lord Jesus in worship (Acts 2:21; 9:14, 21; 22:16; Romans 10:12-14; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 2 Timothy 2:22).

What is the point of this within the Trinity Forum? (Not saying I see no point, btw —I just wanted to know why you posted it here.)

It demonstrates the fact that the Lord Jesus is God in that He is the proper recipient of worship in equality with the Father.
Some Unitarians (Jehovah's Witnesses, The Way International) insist that Jesus is not to be worshiped. Only God the Father is to be worshiped. Thus, if it can be shown the Lord Jesus is the proper recipient of worship in equality with the Father some of them may renounce their heresy.

Since Christians are priests of Christ would prove that He is:
a. The proper recipient of prayer as being Lord/YHWH (Psalm 99:6) - and only God is to be prayed to (1 Kings 8:38-39; Luke 4:8; cf. Luke 2:37).
b. The proper recipient of leitourgeō in Acts 13:2 - notice the connection between "priests" and the fact that this is what they offer unto God in 2 Chronicles 13:10 (LXX).

 

[donadams]

Yes (Hebrews 3:1).

Heb 8:1
Ok good who are His low priests?

Thanks for asking this question.

 

[donadams]

Still want to know who are the ordained “low” priests?

Christ is high priest heb 8:1 there must be low priests for him to be in authority over.

Thanks

Show me where in the New Testament such an expression can be found.

 

[donadams]

Show me where in the New Testament such an expression can be found.

Ministerial priesthood: “apostles & their successors, and those they ordain” (low priests)

With priestly ministry:
Mk 3:14 “ordained”
Matt 22:14 Jn 15:16 “chosen” “ordained”
Jn 20:21 “sent by Christ with His authority”
Jn 20:23 “power to forgive sins”
Acts 1:8 “anointing with power”
acts 1:15-26 “ministry / bishop”
Acts 2:38-39 “administered sacraments”
acts 14:23 “ordained”
Acts 16:4 “ordained “
Rom 15:16 “minister / sanctify”
1 cor 9:14 “ordained”
1 Tim 2:7 “ordained”
1 Tim 3:1-2 “bishop”
1 Tim 4:14 “priest” “priestly ministry”
Phil 1:1 “bishops deacons”
James 5:14 “anointing with oil”

The ministerial priesthood acts in “the person of Christ” so it is Christ who acts thru them vicariously.
2 cor 2:10 Jn 15:5 eph 5:24

The Bible and the new covenant have ministerial priests your sect does not hence no possibility for worship in spirit and truth!

Thanks

All Christians are priests (Revelation 20:6), just like all Christians are saints (1 Corinthians 1:2).
