Question on John 19:30

[donadams]

As I recall having been raised in the RCC and been an alter boy and confirmed and much later studying it; the idea was transubstantiation and only the priests were able to serve up the wafer (bread), thus shackling the poor members to the RCC hierarchy.
One of many things within the system that so aimed to control, manipulate and bind up the folks.

Another one!

Massive incoherence here!

How does the new covenant priesthood “shackling the hierarchy?
To be in the hierarchy is to be a priest!

Christ founded the church save all men not control all men!

Thanks

Why do Catholic priests continue to offer Jesus as a sacrificial victim when he said: “it is finished.”​

John 19:30

Because all those in the body of Christ are the royal priesthood (1 Pe 2:5, 9), not just the hierarchy (clerics).

Thks

The "it" is the atonement. . .completed. . . .once for all (Ro 6:10, Heb 7:27, 9:12, 26, 28, 10:10, 1 Pe 3:18). . .nothing to be added. . .totally sufficient. . .by God alone.

Shacking TO the hierarchy Don. Read for comprehension.

There are two priesthoods in the new covenant

Dont follow you

 

[Carbon]

The “it” in “it is finished”

Well. The reason that Christ came. You do know what that is?

 

[Arial]

Dont follow you

You said shackling OF. Which is not what was said. Don't play dumb.

 

[Mr GLee]

How do you know this?

Other than the living word of God infallibly informs us?

Is there a alternate way?

 

[Mr GLee]

Dont follow you

Rather than following Limbo/Purgatory as you must keep on wondering . . . . is it finished? ?

 

[donadams]

You right sorry to misread it

 

[donadams]

“IT” is the passover

Luke 22:15
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

In this passover Christ makes the old covenant passover into the new covenant Passover (the last supper is the offertory) the New Testament in His blood. Luke 22:20
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Christ is priest and victim:

1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

1 Peter 1:19
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:


John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Christ is high priest heb 8:1

The high priest wears the seamless garment Jn 19:23-24

The words the high priest says at the consummation of the passover sacrifice: “it is finished”!

There are two priesthoods in the new covenant

Please explain. . .with Biblical support.

 

[Eleanor]

How do you know this?

From the Scriptures presented there and the context of the rest of the NT.

 

[Arch Stanton]

In the Old Testament, there were THREE levels of Priests:
High Priest [Aaron]
Levitical Priesthood [Ex 30:30; Lev 5:5-6; Numbers 15:27-28]
General priesthood of the rest of the believers. [Ex 19:6]

In the New Testament, there are also three levels of Priests:
Jesus, our High Priest (1 Tim. 2:5, Heb. 7:22-25),
The Ministerial Priests (James 5:14-15; John 20:23; 2 Cor 2:10; 2 Cor 5:18)
The General Priesthood of all Christians (1 Peter 2:5-9).
