Still confused Mop? Everybody in your church is a priest so women are priests.
It appears that women played no part in inventing God's

Boss.
So women can't make holy water and christ flavored wafers.?

@Mopac
If i was a Priest there would not be a pocket of water on earth that i wouldn't of blessed.
We woukd all be born again.
I'm saving my " Being born again " i just hope i don't die suddenly. I'll cash it in around 70 ish.
Mopac ? What is holy water ?
-->
@disgusted
I am of course, specifically referring to a presbyter or a bishop.
But no, really you are the one who is confused, not me.
-->
@Deb-8-a-bull
I'm pretty sure that if water is holy, it is God that makes it holy. And indeed, through the incarnation creation is sanctified.
By the way, we Orthodox don't use wafers. We use bread.
As far as you holding off until you are 70, maybe you'd be better off going to an Orthodox Church. They usually have classes. It isn't like they will just baptize you on the spot. They aren't protestants, you know.

@Mopac
So when you say priest you actually mean Kermit or whatever other lie suits your nonsense. But you're not confused, you just don't know what words mean, how daft.

There were a number of female prophets in the Old and New Testament.
Name five.

@Mopac
I didn't say everyone was a priest and then later deny that statement, you did. You're confused.
-->
@disgusted
I didn't say. everyone is a priest. I said that every Orthodox Christian is a priest. What most people recognize and call the priest is a presbyter which is a special kind of priest.

@Mopac
English is beyond your ken. Just keep on creating new definitions for the words you don't know how to use.
-->
@disgusted
I am giving you accurate information about a Church that is over a thousand years older than the English language.
-->
@Mopac
And you can't understand the English language is your real message.
-->
@disgusted
Just some background:
The terminology stems from Exodus 19:6 where YHWH tells Moses:
"And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation."
Thus under the 'old covenant' the 'holy nation of Priests' were the Hebrews/Jews. The new covenant involved the transfer of the covenantal relationship away from the jewish people onto Christian Church. Thus the Christian Church inherited the mantle of 'holy nation of priests' from the Jews. That raises the question of which current branch of Christianity is the legitimate heir of the original church.
-->
@keithprosser
That doesn't account for the fact that Mop wants 13 different definitions for the one word in just the one sentence.

@disgusted
You have to make allowances - 'Priest' is ambiguous in Orthodoxy. It can mean 'any member of the orthodox church' or it can mean 'a trained and ordained cleric', which is what most of us mean by 'priest'. What we call a priest they call presbyter... I think!
-->
@keithprosser
What we call a priest they call presbyter
As I have been saying. Though it is not wrong to refer to a presbyter as a priest.

The Orthodox Catholic Church is the original church, no heir necessary.

@Mopac

No problem - as long as it's clear which sense of 'priest' is intended each time.
The Orthodox Catholic Church is the original church, no heir necessary.
It seems to outsiders that every denomination claims to be the only legitimate church! As I said before, I don't have a stake in that.
-->
@keithprosser
Not every claim has equal weight.
Every single bishop in our church can trace their lineage of ordination back to the apostles.
The Roman Bishop's claim of papal supremacy is simply not backed up by the behavior of the early church and a serious study of church history and the writings of the early church reveal this. They broke away from Orthodoxy, and protestantism is a result of their heresy.
Any other bases need to be covered? The New Testament is written in Greek. Does that not cover the rest?
Besides, Orthodox theology really is superior, and that has a great deal to do with the fact that we actually know the God we worship. We have a rich monastic tradition. Our methods actually work. The church isn't corrupted by culture.
It really is The Christian Church.
-->
@Mopac
Rest assured that if ever I decide to become a Christian I will give orthodoxy serious consideration... but don't hold your breath.

Name the sons of the apostles.Every single bishop in our church can trace their lineage of ordination back to the apostles.

A bit rude putting all women in your boat.
