Brett Meyer has left a new comment on your post "Everyone Is a Minister, So No One Is a Minister":
Cat, yes Luther spoke at length concerning the priesthood of all believers in his sermon On Gender and the Ministry. He refers to it as the physical or royal priesthood and it clearly shows how the Lutheran Synods are abusing and perverting not only the Priesthood of all Believers but also the Public Ministry of the Word. It's all part of God's judgement upon all those who willingly pervert his Word and abuse His Church.
Luther states,
"But let us go on and show from the priestly offices (as they [the papists] call them) that all Christians are priests in equal degree. For such passages as, “You are a royal priesthood” (1 Pet. 2[:9]) and, “Thou has made them a kingdom and priests” (Rev. 5[10]), I have sufficiently treated in other books. Mostly the functions of a priest are these: to teach, to preach and proclaim the Word of God, to baptize, to consecrate or administer the Eucharist, to bind and loose sins, to pray for others, to sacrifice, and to judge of all doctrine and spirits."
