So what, exactly, is a priest, in the Christian faith?

A priest is a minister who is set apart to administer the sacraments most especially the Eucharist.

Quote:

I thought the word "priest" was derived from the Greek presbuteros, which is usually translated "elder." There is no mention of Christian priests in scripture, except those passages that refer to the priesthood of all believers, unless one wishes to translate presbuteros as "priest" instead of "elder."

Trouble is - there are separate offices of Priest and elder in the OT and the OT is just a foreshadowing of the new.

Quote:

So on what basis do you say a woman can be an elder, but not a priest?

Because elders govern. They do not administer the sacraments.

Has Letalis ever mentioned his real name in an open forum? If not, this counts as a violation of confidentiality. (silly, but true)
