Men are the Priest of the home

Leading spiritually does NOT make someone THE Priest of anything. Jesus is OUR great High priest implying we go through him to God.

If the man is THE priest of the home that would imply either the rest of the home goes through them somehow to God and Jesus is NOT our mediator between God and man. Or it would imply the woman go through the men to Jesus. What does that make all women then? How do they serve God if they are also not priests to God?

What verse do you use to show men are THE priests? What ORDER are they priests in? Levites?

What about the fact that we are told WE, refering to the church, are a kingdom of priests unto God?

Men can or should be the Spiritual leaders of the household but that does not make them THE priest.
