I had a discussion elsewhere concerning priesthood. A person there took a common position that Christ is the only high priest after the order of melchizedek based on the passage in Hebrews. I don't think this interpretation makes sense. After all melchizedek was a high priest in the same order.
This was oddly ignored. And the original viewpoint was continued to be pushed. The person claimed there was no evidence of anyone else who was after this order in the Bible.
I asked about Peters claim that to be of a royal priesthood. What priesthood was he claiming to be a part of? I know of only two priesthood orders mentions in the Bible. The order of Aaron and the order of melchizedek. And yet supposedly the only one in the melchizedek priesthood is Christ? It doesn't make sense to me.
Despite asking multiple times about Peters comment, I received no response. I've been thinking about it and thought I'd ask and see what others thought. What is the royal priesthood Peter claimed?
