Not

No temple; no priests; no
sacrifices; no mortal intercessor.

Does a disciple "graduate?" Is
there a point when we have learned sufficient that we may stop?

There is something troubling
about the person of Christ existing for the sole purpose of atonement
Apostles
In selecting the twelve, was
Jesus singling out these few to be an elite class within the church?

out being treated like trays of frozen food in cold storage.

to be kidding!
