"Ends of the earth" is a spatial reference, not a temporal reference. It refers to geographical limits, not the terminus of the age(s).

There is no such thing as "low priests". I've told you this already, but you refuse to learn. There is no ministerial priesthood in the Christian Church. As for absolving sins, every human being is empowered to forgive sins done against them. Christians are empowered to speak God's forgiveness...

Yes, correct.

I respect your opinion, but see no reason to entertain Catholic heresy from someone who is clearly proselytizing. He isn’t here to learn, but to lecture.

But... bacon! Don't worry, I'll have your share. And that of anyone else who chooses to abstain. :)

You can. I have that kind of relationship with Him. I don't hear Him with my ears, but I do hear Him clearly... most of the time. ;)

Apparently, metaphor is lost on you.

The word is "whose", not "who's". It's God's throne. It says so right there in the text. "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

You have been reported for your Catholic heresy.

Rules taught by men, not the word of God.

That's not what it says! Here is the text of verses 1 and 2: Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. (NIV) Jesus said nothing about "successors of Moses". What was taken from them and given to others (all Christians...

What a complete misinterpretation! Jesus will be with us, the Church. His believers don't live in this form forever. Don't be ridiculous! Acts 1:8 is spatial, not temporal.

Um, no. Keep promoting Catholic hogwash and you WILL be banned.

Given that Jesus is our High Priest, the answer is No, of course. If you mean (as I suspect) a mere human priest, the answer is Yes, of course.

Bishops? If you mean elders or overseers, then they are not necessarily apostles, according to Scripture. "Other six sacraments"? Your Catholic delusion is showing again. Don't bother arguing as though your position is assumed, for it most certainly is not. There is no biblical reason why any...
