Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross; the Spirit of Christ and of glory then rests upon them. It was this, no doubt, that made the Puritans such burning and shining lights. When cast out by the black Bartholomew-act [the 1662 Act of Uniformity] and driven from their respective charges to preach in barns and fields, in the highways and hedges, they in an especial manner wrote and preached as men having authority. Though dead, by their writings they yet speak; a peculiar unction attends them to this very hour.

What the Bible says about the… Doctrine of ‘Priesthood’

    1. Heb 7:1 – 10 The priesthood of Melchizedek is greater than the priesthood of Aaron (Levitical)
    2. Heb 7:11 Insufficient Aaronic priesthood creates need for a new priesthood
    3. Heb 7:12 Aaronic priesthood could not evolve, therefore the priesthood has been changed
    4. Heb 7: 15 – 16 Christ is made priest similar to Melchizedek, meaning He was appointed by God, not attained by decendency
    5. Heb 7:23 – 24 Christ’s priesthood is unchangeable (literally untransferable). Other priests passed on their priesthood when they died – Christ, however, is eternal.
