I have repeated this before on the other thread, but I am not saying anything similar to the idea that Jesus offers His blood forever instead of once. He offered it ONCE. But He intercedes in an ongoing manner. He does not LAY prostrate before God either. lol. He SITS on the throne as Priest, if one wants to split hairs.
His priesthood is not speaking about an intercession that is simply involving a sacrifice that is open until the end. That is not active intercession. There is actual interceding occurring.
