The priesthood allways changes hands when death acurs. Jesus is the high priest so his teachig are the above teachings or teachings of the higher rightousness. The low teachings are the stones or stumbling blocks set as traps to trip the unwise. Jesus said do these things in rememberance of me Death means out of sight out of mind and forgotten as if you were dead. That is spiritual death, a man no longer has eyes to see so at that time ,if he is a priest he looses his rank and the presthood changes hands. The lord can make a priest a begger and a begger a priest. He can make a jew a levite or children of no understaning the children of Abraham. If a priest does not teach the proper teaching, he is no longer a priest. Physical robes mean nothing. It doesn't matter by what name you call your church or denomanation. Every time the teachings fall ,then there is division in the church and the new church comes out of the old church. The priest is the teacher of the spiritual teachings. Teaching Jesus as the son of the living God,teaching truth. It is Jesus himself that does the dividing.

When one dies spiritually, he is dropped out of the Life, which is Jesus.

Many people who never come to God through His Son never come to Life. Spiritually they are always dead. Some who have come to God, but then walk away from Him then die spiritually.

The lord can make a priest a begger, and a begger a priest. He can make a jew, a levite or children of no understanding, the children of Abraham. If a priest does not teach the proper teaching, he is no longer a priest. Physical robes mean nothing.

But the proper garments do mean something!

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:" Eph 6:13-17

It doesn't matter by what name you call your church or denomination. Every time the teachings fall, then there is division in the church and the new church comes out of the old church. The priest is the teacher of the spiritual teachings.

This is what happened with some of those we call refromers. Some of them moved into a new walk With God, but their own followers were soon walking along their own pathways again.

Teaching Jesus as the son of the living God is teaching truth. It is Jesus himself that does the dividing.

When He recognizes that there is not enough left to salvage the group He will call them out of death into Life.

"And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth." John 11:43

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues." Rev 18:4
