The lesson of history is even more encouraging. The "duo sunt genera christianorum" is a historical development different from - and in its theology largely inconsistent with - the first 3 centuries CE, when Christianity was priestless (as distinct from leaderless). THREAD
Nowhere in the NT is a separate priestly class – that is one mediating between the divine and Christians/human beings in general – regarded as desirable – never mind necessary. 2/16
On the contrary, and quite significantly, several passages explicitly reject it. This is most clear in Hebrews 4.14 and 8.1. It’s implied in 1 Pet. 2.9 (when all Christians are priests, a mediating priesthood is no longer needed). 3/16
