1Pe 2:9 But you are "an elect race," "a royal priesthood," "a holy nation," "a people for possession," so that "you may openly speak of the virtues" of the One who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; LXX-Ex. 23:22; MT-Ex. 19:5, 6
If you were to be asking a person that calls themself a christian,this question.
'What exactly is the "Priesthood of ALL Believers',maybe 95-99% of the people would have no idea what you were talking about..
The same thing would probably go for Biblical Imputation.
IF the AMERICAN believers had been taught the Priesthood of believers,we might be seeing a different type of America.
We would also be seeing a different type of Believer today,then what is seen.
IF,the believers in America had been understanding their POSITION as Kings and Priests in Yeshua,
MAYBE the believers might not have been HOOD-WINKED by the charlitans,which have taken the believers and brought them back under bondage to rules and regulations of men,
Namely the LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD.
Example:
Joh 8:36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.
When people meet together,this freedom allows men and women to OPENLY worship Yeshua in spirit and in truth.
This freedom is found in 1st Corinthians chapters 11-14,where there is no mention of ANYONE other than Yeshua leading His people to Breka Bread in Remembrance of Himself.
And to be Worthshipping in spirit and in truth.
This worthship does not include an ORGANIZED BAND.
Nor is there any mention of a single man saying 'LET US WORSHIP'.
With a band present the 'LET US' Never has a chance,seeing that the meeting has been PREarranged so as to keep the people in the dark about the Preisthood of all believers.
Prayer is vitale as believers meet,yet once again for most believers one man says 'LET US PRAY'. And once again this same man prays for the people,as though he is the priest representing everyone before YHWH.
Can anyone say,Hey a modern Moses.
The Priesthood of believers is set before us as the means of avoiding going back under bondage to the Old Covenant Priesthood,from which Yeshua has brought His people out from being under..
Yet MOST people in America have NEVER heard of this extremely important issue.
The charlitans tickle the ears of the people with the ideas of becoming HeaLlthy,wealthy and wise,just by reciting a few words the charlitans tell them.
Also these mandates are placed upon others,which when the people cannot live up to these then the people are told that they are 'SINNERS' needing to repent,and be saved.
Do not drink alcoholic drinks.
No dancing
No drugs
No sex before marriage
Do not associate yourselves with such people.
You must live Holy
You must sanctify yourselves befor YHWH
You must be Perfect as YHWH is perfect
You must tithe
And these people just heap burden upon burden upon the people to keep them from the truth of who They are in Yeshua,namely Kings and Priests of the Most High GOD..
Yet Yeshua clearly says:
Mat 11:28 Come to Me, all those laboring and being burdened, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, "and you will find rest to your souls." Jer. 6:16
Mat 11:30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.
During the Old Covenent 10 men were necessary to have a synagouge,this is still practised by Hebrew men today.
Yet Yeshua changed this when He declared.
Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.
The necessity of having 10 men is done away with.
With the priesthood of believers,only 2 people are necessary for the following,and guess what,one of these people does not have to be a senior pastor,pastor,elder or deacon,and no Worship Band is necessary.
Break bread
Worship Together
Fellowship Together
Pray Together
Study the Word together
Evangelising together
Everything the gathered assembly can do,these two people are able to do the same.
Does anyone see the necessity for this vitale Doctrine to being taught within the assembly of the believers in Yeshua.
Yet alas,most will continue believing that the way they are meeting is what is taught in the Word of YHWH..
Most will continue being in bondage to the dictates of men which continue tickling the ears of the masses.
By not teaching the Priesthood of ALL believers to the people,the charlitans continue to keep the masses in bondage to the teachings of men.
Had the people been taught who they are in Yeshua,as Kings and Priests,maybe these Charlitans would be run out of the Assemblies of the believers,
Maybe the men which should be elders,would then be teaching and instructing the believers unto the things of YHWH in Yeshua.
Maybe there would be Freedom amongst the Believers as intended by Yeshua.
Maybe the Love of many might increase,instead of decrease.
Maybe we might even see the return of the Holy Spirit manifesting His life to the believers...
I have said enough about this,as i have been involved with Believers in Philadelphia.PA;
Which had met together according to Biblical Principles.
WHEN MARY BROKE THE FLASK OF VERY COSTLY OIL AND POURED IT ON JESUS HEAD, IT WAS AN ACT FOR WHICH NO ONE ELSE SAW ANY SPECIAL OCCASION. Mark 14:3-4
BUT JESUS COMMENED MARY FOR HER EXTRAVAGANT ACT OF DEVOTION. OUR LORD IS FILLED WITH OVERFLOWING JOY, WHENEVER HE SEES ANY OF US DOING WHAT MARY DID, NOT BEING BOUND BY A PARTICULAR SET OF RULES, BUT BEING TOTALLY...YES TOTALLY SURRENEDED TO HIM.

A LIFE OF PURE AND HOLY SACRIFICE
" HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME...OUT OF HIS HEART WILL FLOW..
OK, yeah, right George, you laways have a word back disdianing the truth... we know you don't attend church and you are not connected to a church home, therefore, as I said you have NO IDEAD WHAT OTHER BELIEVERS ARE BEING TAUUGHT IN THE CHURCHES THEY ATTEND!
Farmer
Yes you are correct, I DO not ATTEND church.
I fellowship with the Saints of YHWH in Yeshua.
As i have stated the 'church' is an 'ORGANIZED RELIGION'.
The body if Yeshua is an 'ORGANISM';there is quite a big difference.
Just like the tares and the wheat.
ET
NOR DO YOU HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHAT AMERCIAN CHRISTIANS ARE TAUGHT OR WHATTHEY KNOW OR BELIEVE, cuz, you AIN'T spoken with ALL AMERICAN believers to make such a judgmental condemning statement...
Farmer
ET,i have authority from the Word of YHWH concerning this topic.
Let me share what the 'CHURCH SERVICE' looks like.
Meeting time usually Sunday morning
Time:Anytime beteween 0900 am- 1300 pm
Usually this starts with the pastor saying 'Lets pray'
Yet he usually is the ONLY one to be praying,NO ONE else is personally involved by praying before the people.
The so-called worship leader says 'Lets Stand' and worship.
Yet not one person has anything with which to worship Yeshua,as the people have not assembled FILLED in order to be wrung out to Exhort the believers.
Instead the people usually arrive with nothing to share,as the people have no responsibility over this most important time;The meeting of the Saints.
A band plays songs that have been picked out with the arrangements,with the time to start and stop according to the dictates of the so-called worship leader.
At the appropriate times the people are instructed when to stand and when to sit.
When the entertainment has stopped,then the so-called senior pastor,pastor, leader or deacon will say 'Lets stand and pray.
Yet again this man is the only one to be praying publicly before the people.
An offering is taken at some point during this meeting.
They migh have a coffee break,for a short time,then they are to resume.
Once again the so-called senior pastor,pastor,leader or deacon wil begin speaking on a topic which this person has written.
This goes for about 30-45 minutes,yet not one person has any input.
Not one question has been asked,nor have the people been asked 'Does anyone have any questions on what has just been said.
The so-called senior pastor,pastor,leader or deacon says to the people 'Lets stand and pray'.
Again only the one same person prays,everyone else is silent.
The people are dismissed to go on their way.
The sheeple go home thinking that they have worshipped Yeshua.
They believe they have been instructed in the Word of YHWH.
And they believe they have just had 'church'..
And maybe ONCE a month the people have 'communion'.
The people are told that if they have any unconfessed sin that they should get together with their heavenly father to confess the sin,recieve forgivness,in order to be made right with GOD.
This again has been prearranged as to the time,and the same person prays.
People pass out the juice and crackers.
The people are instructed when to partake of the juice and crackers.
Now et,am i close in my understanding of the 'church service'!
ET
So George, get a grip!... and only speak what YOU THINK YOU KNOW TO BE FACTS BASED ON, AND ACCORDING TO YOUR LIMITED UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE!
ET
You just came into the word youself yesterday and now you see yourself as a spiritul filled theologian and teacher trying to tell people what is, and what isn't, and in all kind of spiritual error, and opposition of what other speak throguh scriptures of God's word... not even understanding of what you post from your books or from on the website you visit....
The Farmer
Yes you are right et,i have just been in the Word of YHWH for over 25 years,and i do not see many understanding the things of YHWH as i do.
The Gospel
Salvation
Grace
Concerning The Priesthood of believers,
The Fellowship of the Saints,
Baptism,
Breaking Bread
Sin and Repentance
These are a few of the topics i have written about and for the most part there have been but a few people which actually understand what i had written.
Even more critisized what i had written without even taking time to study the Scriptures from which those writings were from.
But that is OKAY,for that is what the church is for.
ET,i hope you understand that i have Biblical knowledge and understanding of what i have just written,and each and everything which i had written on this site.
I do not use any commentaries
I do not read other peoples writings.
Though i have read these works.
