什麼是天主教及基督教的信仰？

神默示信徒寫，呢樣野好難解釋俾你啲比較低智嘅人去明。

我就不嬲從來話冇需再獻祭㗎啦，大祭司獻完一次永遠嘅贖罪祭之後就坐低㗎啦........但總之大祭司獻完一次永遠嘅贖罪祭之後我就無需每年每日獻㗎啦。

係咪因為耶穌被釘，帳幔裂開，你自己返去睇返佢啲書信啦。我冇講過兩者有因果，我呢刻亦未諗到兩者有冇因果，

人人皆祭司係你個第一任教皇講㗎

你又錯勒。 人人皆司祭唔係伯多祿創出嚟。 佢只係複述出谷紀19章天主訓示梅瑟, 要佢去轉話的一句:

出谷紀 19:6
但你們為我應成為司祭的國家，聖潔的國民。你應將這些話訓示以色列子民。」

就要在萬民中作屬我的子民，因為全地都是我的。你們要歸我作祭司的國度，為聖潔的國民。』

即是人人皆司祭時, 不是人人都可以做獻祭的祭司。
正如今日, 人人皆司祭時, 仍要神父當獻祭的祭司。

Q: does 1 peter 2:9 royal priesthood comes from exodus 19:6?

A: Yes, there is a direct and significant connection between 1 Peter 2:9 and Exodus 19:6. In 1 Peter 2:9, the Apostle Peter is quoting from and re-applying the language originally used by God to describe the nation of Israel in the Old Testament.

Let's look at the two passages side-by-side:

• Exodus 19:6: "and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."
• 1 Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."

Peter is explicitly taking the titles and promises given to Israel and applying them to New Testament believers, both Jews and Gentiles, who are now part of the Church. This shows a powerful theological continuity and fulfillment.

The Significance of this Connection:

• Corporate Identity: In the Old Testament, God chose the nation of Israel to be his special people. Peter declares that the Church—the community of believers in Christ—is now this "chosen race" and "holy nation."
• Priesthood of All Believers: In the Old Covenant, a specific group of people (the Levites and descendants of Aaron) were designated as priests to mediate between God and the people. The promise in Exodus 19:6, that the entire nation would be a "kingdom of priests," was an ideal that found its ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant. In Christ, all believers have direct access to God and are called to serve as priests.
• Purpose: Both passages share a common purpose: to "proclaim the excellencies" of God. Israel was meant to be a light to the nations, demonstrating God's character and truth. In the New Testament, the Church's priestly function is to bear witness to the world about the saving work of Christ, who called them out of darkness into light.

In short, Peter uses the language of Exodus 19:6 to demonstrate that the blessings and responsibilities once entrusted to Israel are now fulfilled in the multi-ethnic, global body of Christ.

Q: so why not everyone in the kingdom of priests are priests?

A: The premise of your question—"why not everyone in the kingdom of priests are priests?"—is based on a misunderstanding of what "priesthood" means in the context of the New Testament. The biblical teaching is that every single person within the "kingdom of priests" is a priest.

The confusion often arises from contrasting the New Testament understanding of priesthood with the Old Testament model or with a hierarchical model found in some modern church traditions.

Let's break down the two main points:

1. The Priesthood of All Believers
The phrase "royal priesthood" in 1 Peter 2:9 refers to what is known in Christian theology as the "priesthood of all believers." This concept teaches that every Christian has direct access to God through Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate and only High Priest.

This is a radical departure from the Old Covenant system where:

Only a select few (the descendants of Aaron from the tribe of Levi) were priests.

The priests had a specific, mediating function: offering animal sacrifices and incense on behalf of the people to God.

Only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year.

In the New Covenant, through the work of Jesus, all of that changes. The Old Covenant priesthood is now obsolete because Jesus's one-time sacrifice was perfect and sufficient. As a result, the New Testament teaches that all believers share in a spiritual priesthood.

2. The Role and Functions of the New Testament Priest
If every Christian is a priest, what is their function? It's not to offer animal sacrifices, but to offer "spiritual sacrifices" (1 Peter 2:5). These sacrifices include:

• Offering our bodies as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1).
  
• Praising and worshiping God (Hebrews 13:15).
  
• Doing good and sharing with others (Hebrews 13:16).
  
• Interceding in prayer for others.
  

Therefore, according to the New Testament, there is no longer a special class of people (like the Old Testament priests) who act as mediators between God and other believers. The entire community of Christians is the "kingdom of priests" and every member has the privilege and responsibility to perform these spiritual priestly functions.

So, to answer your question directly: everyone in the "kingdom of priests" is a priest in the New Testament sense of the word. They may not hold the specific office of an elder, pastor, or deacon, which are leadership and teaching roles, but they all share in the common priesthood established by Christ.

Q: the kingdom of priests is in old testament exodus, why not everyone in the old testament kingdom of priests a priest?

A: That is an excellent and very perceptive question. It highlights a key distinction between the Old Testament ideal and its practical application, which is then fulfilled in the New Testament.

In the Old Testament, the "kingdom of priests" in Exodus 19:6 had two meanings:

1. The Corporate, National Priesthood (Ideal)
When God told Israel they would be a "kingdom of priests," he was giving them a corporate mission and identity. This meant the entire nation of Israel, as a whole, was to function as a priestly nation to the rest of the world.

Their role: To mediate the knowledge of the one true God to all other nations.

Their purpose: By living according to God's holy law, they were to be a visible testament to God's character and power, showing the world what it meant to have a relationship with the divine. They were to be a beacon of light, drawing other nations to worship God.

In this sense, every Israelite was part of this collective, national priesthood.

2. The Functional, Cultic Priesthood (Reality)
While the entire nation had this high calling, God immediately instituted a specific, functional priesthood for the purpose of ritual and sacrifice. This role was reserved exclusively for the descendants of Aaron from the tribe of Levi.

Their role: To perform the official duties of the Tabernacle and later the Temple. They were the ones who offered animal sacrifices, burned incense, and mediated between a holy God and a sinful people.

The reason for the distinction: The establishment of this specific priestly class was a direct result of humanity's sin and God's absolute holiness. The rest of the nation was not holy enough to handle the sacred objects or perform the rites of atonement. God's holiness was so intense that direct contact could be fatal. The Aaronic priesthood acted as a barrier and a mediator, protecting the people from God's holiness while protecting God's holiness from the people's sinfulness.

A clear example of this tension is found in Exodus 32. After God makes the promise in Exodus 19, the Israelites immediately sin by worshiping the golden calf. This event demonstrates their unholiness and the urgent need for a dedicated, mediating priesthood.

The Fulfillment in the New Testament
The New Testament teaches that Jesus Christ, as our perfect High Priest, fulfills both of these roles.

He is the single, ultimate priest who offered a perfect, once-and-for-all sacrifice, making the Aaronic priesthood obsolete.

Because of His perfect sacrifice, every believer is now made holy in Him. This holiness allows the ideal of the "kingdom of priests" from Exodus 19:6 to finally be realized. Every Christian can now approach God directly and shares in the corporate mission of being a priestly nation, representing God to the world.

祭司就不嬲舊約都一堆㗎啦。
