Wm Abbott,

"Ordained" has one meaning in the Bible and a very different one today. In Bible times, it simply meant "appointed" and that was done at the direction of the Holy Spirit. But in the centuries that followed it got changed to mean the ceremony elevating of a person into the clergy class and entitled them to use the cloak of Godliness to rule over the common people. Further, that "appointment" was made independent of anything related to the guidance or empowerment of the Holy Spirit. So thinking "ordained" in the Bible means the same thing today is as false as thinking "sabbath" is talking about the first day of the week.
