They all claim to have the right interpretation of the Bible.... all being all the Christian denominations.Not entirely true, that OP.
The Seventh-Day Adventists are for all intents and purposes a Protestant denomination, and they argue that they are the true church, the one true Christian Faith.
They also:
If I'm not mistaken in my recollections about them, they also believe that the mark of the beast of eschatology will be the enforcing of all people to observe Sunday as the Sabbath. Something like that.
- still observe the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath;
- do not eat foods that aren't kosher;
- believe that the seat of The Antichrist of eschatology is the United States;
- believe in annihilationism with regard to hell.

In 500 years, all the Protestant churches will be gone. Everyone in the West will be either Catholic or nothing at all.
You think I'm dumb, what you said is even dumber. Please explain what could wipe out all life on this planet.In 500 years, all the Protestant churches will be gone. Everyone in the West will be either Catholic or nothing at all.

Wow, you're the worst example of a Christian I have ever seen, and that's saying something because you took the prize away from Jeremiah. With you and him working this forum, the both of you are going to actually convert people to atheism.In 500 years, all the Protestant churches will be gone.

No, I don't "think" you're dumb, you little whiny, antagonizing, bitch-ass motherfucker: I KNOW you are.
I also know that you're not really a Christian—let alone Catholic—because most true Christians who believe the Scriptures understand that this world is in its last throes.
The majority of things you've said in your troll threads here about doctrines are things you've copied and pasted from other people on the Net who actually do know what they're talking about. And you've not given any of them any credit.
That's not what it says, you are twisting the words to suit your own twisted agenda.we are all Priests and Jesus is our HIGH PRIEST.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Question: "Is the priesthood of all believers biblical?" Answer: There is one main passage that deals with the priesthood of all believers. It is as follows: "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ … But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:5-9). Old Testament priests were chosen by God, not self-appointed; and they were chosen for a purpose: to serve God with their lives by offering up sacrifices. The priesthood served as a picture or "type" of the coming ministry of Jesus Christ--a picture that was then no longer needed once His sacrifice on the cross was completed. When the thick temple veil that covered the doorway to the Holy of Holies was torn in two by God at the time of Christ's death (Matthew 27:51), God was indicating that the Old Testament priesthood was no longer necessary. Now people could come directly to God through the great High Priest, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 4:14-16). There are now no earthly mediators between God and man as existed in the Old Testament priesthood (1 Timothy 2:5). Christ our High Priest has made one sacrifice for sin for all time (Hebrews 10:12), and there is no more sacrifice for sin that can be made (Hebrews 10:26). But as priests once offered other kinds of sacrifices in the temple, so it is clear from 1 Peter 2:5,9 that God has chosen Christians "to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 2:5-9 speaks of two aspects of the priesthood of the believer. The first is that believers are privileged. To be chosen by God to be a priest was a privilege. All believers have been chosen by God: a "chosen generation...His own special people" (verse 9). In the Old Testament tabernacle and temple, there were places where only the priests could go. Into the Holy of Holies, behind a thick veil, only the High Priest could go, and that only once a year on the Day of Atonement when he made a sin offering on behalf of all of the people. But as mentioned above, because of Jesus' death upon the cross of Calvary, all believers now have direct access to the throne of God through Jesus Christ our great High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16). What a privilege to be able to access the very throne of God directly, not through any earthly priest. When Christ returns and the New Jerusalem comes to earth (Revelation 21), believers will see God face-to-face and will serve Him there (Revelation 22:3-4) Again, what a privilege especially for us who were once "not a people" ... "without hope" ... destined for destruction because of our sin. The second aspect of the believer's priesthood is that we are chosen for a purpose: to offer up spiritual sacrifices (see Hebrews 13:15-16 for example), and to proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Thus, by both life (1 Peter 2:5; Titus 2:11-14; Ephesians 2:10) and by word (1 Peter 2:9; 3:15), our purpose is to serve God. As the believer's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), so God has called us to serve Him from our hearts by first of all offering our lives as living sacrifices (Romans 12:1-2). One day we will be serving God in eternity (Revelation 22:3-4), but not in any temple, for "the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple" (Revelation 21:22). As the Old Testament priesthood was to be free of defilement, as symbolized by being ceremonially clean, so has Christ made us holy positionally before the Father. He calls on us to live holy lives that we might also be a "holy priesthood" (1 Peter 2:5). In summary, believers are called "kings and priests" and a "royal priesthood" as a reflection of their privileged status as heirs to the kingdom of the Almighty God and of the Lamb. Because of this privileged closeness with God, no other earthly mediator is necessary. Second, believers are called priests because salvation is not merely “fire insurance,” escape from hell. Rather, believers are called by God to serve Him by offering up spiritual sacrifices, i.e., being a people zealous for good works. As priests of the living God, we are all to give praise to the One who has given us the great gift of His Son's sacrifice on our behalf, and in response, to share this wonderful grace with others.

Every believer now can commune with God instead of needing the priest. Jesus is our priest. That's what it says.
