I was wondering if the ceremony could go smooth, and here's the voice in the desert...
"Not in the Bible!”
There are only TWO priesthoods ordained by God in the Bible. Though there are many who are ordained by man .
The first which is after the flesh and ministers in the tabernacle made with hands . HAS to be of the tribe of Levi and a man . Not even a King of Israel could do the work of an ordained priest in the temple of God made with hands and when one did so suffered leprosy from that moment till his dying day (Isiah 6)
She is neither a Jew or of the tribe of Levi. BY who then was she ordained? Not of God .
The only other priesthood mentioned in the Bible has to be of the order of Malchesidech . Who minister not in the temple made with hands . But made by God .
Now as Hebrews tells us the High priest of this order does not minister in Rome or Canterbury or any other place but in heaven.
and he need not offer the body and the blood of his flesh over and over again like the animal sacrifices in the temple made with hands .
But ONCE and for ALL was he offered . In the crucifixtion of his body .
"For it is appointed unto man ONCE to die then cometh the judgement "
What then the need for a priesthood after the flesh? NONE .
But fi you would have it so .Then women cannot be made so.
But the tabernacle made with hands and ist priesthood was put away as too the sacrafices .
and the true tabernacle needs no new sacrifice nor another high priest as of old for he is made a high preist for ever after that order of Malchesidech (Hebrews)
Nor then do we need a host of intercessors made by man that are dead . For we have Christ Himself who for ever intercedes for us . Why then the need of the dead to pray for the dead?
It is Christ that giveth life to all that come unto him .But if men go to another what can they receive? not life but death.
Then on two accounts this matter is wrong and unbiblical .
For all it is about as to the C of E and all like them. is the externals and conforming to the world rather than to God .
in Christ
