Brother, these guys are covinced in their minds, without scripture of course, that the pastors are a type of OT priests(levites) and we are Israel(spiritually lower on the totem pole)....
This is completely bogus and belittling of the calling of
us all.....
1 Peter 2:9
9 But
ye(we) are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
we (us) should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Revelation 1:6
And hath
made us(you and I) kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Their teachings place themselves in a mediator role between us and God....
1 Timothy 2:5
5 For there is one God, and
one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus
These men actually believe that they are some kind of higher calling than us and a link to get blessings from the Lord.....LOL
