Tares among the wheat

Thank you for your very full answer. It's encouraging to see a true understanding of what Nicolaitanism is: so many - particularly in the national and the so-called orthodox and catholic churches - misconstrue that scripture and make it devoid of meaning. A separate class of persons as priests or clergy is, of course, entirely unscriptural.

There are only two priesthoods that are lawful and acceptable to God .
The first is of the flesh and ministers in the temple made with hands and is of the order of Levi.
The second is after the order of Malchesidech (Hebrews) and ministers in the temple not made with hands .
Even as their was a high priest after the order of Levi so too is their a high priest after the order of Malchesidech.
Paul in his letter to the Hebrews can argue the case far better than I .
The church of England in which I was raised has then a grave problem. Both in its disputes about women priests as also in its whole priesthood.
For as they minister in the temple made with hands they must be of the tribe of Levi . and by that there can be no women priests.
In both cases then they have a grave problem to resolve .
The Roman church has an even greater problem . For where as Paul argued that even as the high priest had need of an offering so too the one of Malchesidech .
If then the high priest of the order of Levi had to continually and every year make an offering fro sin, So too then this Roman priesthood being one after the flesh and in a temple made with hands . this they have conceived and done .Its called the mass.
Not only then do they substitute the truth for a lie . But deny the once and for all sacrifice for sin . and keep the people in bondage while they themselves project the idea they are holy.
There end was long ago foreseen and their judgment just .
True then is it said "come out form among them ,touch not the unclean thing lest ye become paratakers of her judgements.

In Christ
