No one has authority to read or study scripture for himself and form his own doctrine!

We must be taught by the church of Christ!
Lk 1:4 instructed:
Matt 28:19 church of apostles commanded to teach all nations:
But what is "the church of Christ"? The one you choose?

I won't pretend to know. I would have to revisit the passages in the law to remember what he says, if he's supposed to say something. Right off, I don't remember him having to say anything. But I do remember something about a wandering Aramean? Is that from the lawful rules of the Mosaic Passover? Feel free to fill us in. Whatever it is, did Jesus say it after he sacrificed himself as our Passover Lamb 2000 years ago, never having to be sacrificed again?

“it is finished”

and you are correct there is only one sacrifice of christ

He did. It's composed of all the people who genuinely believe in Christ. In the beginning after the resurrection these people could indeed be found in groups that were in fact the true organization of God's people in the world. But as Paul prophesied would happen, savage wolves came in not too long after that and ended that. Now we exist scattered among the various man made religious organizations of the world. The true church of God where God dwells is now one stone here, another stone there, and still another stone over there. It does not exist as a religious organization in the world now. It will again one day, though. After the return of Christ.

a spiritual covenant?

no outside the church of Christ there is no salvation!
You been trained in the ways of the CC my friend .
FOR IT IS JESUS ALONE who guarantees my salvation . And whoever truly believes in Him is a hearer and a doer of the word .
We dont need false churches . True lambs are the church of JESUS CHRIST and CHRIST is our foundation the very corner stone .
The apostels and Christ . And the RCC has long abandoned the true simplicity of JESUS CHRIST .
But true lambs exist in this world and they wont be heeding Rome or those popes , they will follow the SPIRIT
Heeding sound biblical doctrine and testing all who do speak and teach , with that bible .

Let no man take thy crown . False prophets are crown takers . And the RCC as well as the protestant realm are full of them .
Let the lambs meet in places where Christ is honored and all sound doctrine is taught .
Looks like house , cave and forest churches will soon be coming back , even in america .
And Rome leads the largest fallling away under the guise of a false unity and false all inclusive social gospel .
Soon the true lambs will be the targets of the united one world religion and her govt .
Be unafraid to suffer for JESUS . Embrace it . For as we suffer for HIM the consolation of Christ shall also abound in us .
OH let the LORD be praised and in all that we do and say may it HONOR HE who has saved us .
Follow Christ and test all men who do instruct . We are in a massive falling away and it will soon lead
to the largest persecution against the true lambs who did not conform . May all endure faithful to Christ to the end .
OH in the LORD is all hope . And whether we live , its for the LORD and if we die then its for the LORD .
LET the KING be praised . And may the true lambs gather in little clusters and be here for one another .
A time of great testing is coming . Just as soon as the delusion has ran its course . No fear of man , nor what he can do .
JUST live for CHRIST and die for HIM . HE alone is our hope . PRAISE THE KING .

Well, sure, we all know that Christ said that when he died on the cross. But you asked, "what is the high priest required to say at the consummation of the Passover sacrifice?" as if you were asking a question about the law. The Passover is observed in one's house. So I'm confused by your question about what the law says a high priest is required to say after the Passover lamb is sacrificed.

What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?

Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!

The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20

Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18

Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.

Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments




Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20

Lk 10:16
He who hears you hears me...

John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

No, lol. Every true believer is a stone in the temple where God's Spirit lives. Those stones are the church of God. A religious organization is not the church of God. He doesn't dwell in a religious organization. He dwells in the hearts of his people. Together we make a spiritual house in which God lives.

Okay, so you weren't asking what the law of Moses says when you asked what the high priest is required to say after the Passover sacrifice is made. So what is the point you are trying to make?

Christian worship is based on the Passover sacrifice

And the RCC is not the answer .

what is?

There is only one true church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles and their successors is the new covenant body of Christ! Matt 16:18 One fold
Jn 10:16 the household of faith! Gal 6:10

1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Christ and His church are one: acts 9:4 why persecute me?
