   try again.  no such thing as a woman priest.  And if anyone think   
   there is, and that there is a sacrament from such a one, they are only   
   fooling themselves.    Try reading the real Bible.  Since you think you   
   have knowledge.

   > The Epistle of Paul the Apostle, a servant of Jesus Christ, to the Romans:   
   >   
   > Romans 2   
   > "17 Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your   
   > boast in God, 18 and know His will, and approve the things that are   
   > excellent, being instructed out of the law, 19 and are confident that   
   > you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in   
   > darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having   
   > the form of knowledge and truth in the law. 21 You, therefore, who teach   
   > another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not   
   > steal, do you steal? 22 You who say, “Do not commit adultery,” do you   
   > commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who   
   > make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the   
   > law? 24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of   
   > you,” as it is written.   
   >   
   > Circumcision of No Avail   
   >   
   > 25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you   
   > are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.   
   > 26 Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements   
   > of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? 27   
   > And will not the physically uncircumcised, if he fulfills the law, judge   
   > you who, even with your written code, and circumcision, are a   
   > transgressor of the law? 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly,   
   > nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a   
   > Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the   
   > Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God."

   > Note, Paul was against circumcision, as cited below:   
   >   
   >   
   > Galatians 5   
   > "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free,   
   > and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Indeed I, Paul,   
   > say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you   
   > nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that   
   > he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from   
   > Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from   
   > grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of   
   > righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor   
   > uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love."   
   >   
   > You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?   
   >   
   > For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; ... through love serve   
   > one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:   
   > “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”   
   >   
   > I say then: Walk in the Spirit,   
   > For if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.   
   >   
   > But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,   
   > goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is   
   > no law."
