If we looked for how people lived to discover God's will for us we would b in deep trouble.

It is transgression of one of the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20:8-11), the character of God (Ex. 33:12-23, 34:1-9, 20:5-7), and the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23), whether OT or NT. The death by stoning, is typical of the 2nd death by hail stones of fire in Rev. 20, see also, Psa. 18:12-13, same as in the type of destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, see also Psa. 21:9; Heb. 10:27.

What makes you think a lamb is unclean? Scripture didn't say so. In fact, Scripture calls lambs "clean". Swine are called "unclean".

I was suggesting the lamb had to be sacrificed as a clean animal to redeem or break the neck of a Ass (kill) a unclean animal to represent unconverted mankind. God is not served by human hands in any way shape or form .

Like circumcision another sign of the "first born" our bloody husband Christ.

Exodus 13:13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

A swine is another .But no law to break neck if not redeemed by a lamb. That parable seems to be reserved for the Ass.

He has no needs but works in us to satisfy his all in all.

Did Jesus say, "My flesh profiteth nothing"?

No.

He said, "the flesh profiteth nothing." When you misquote the Scripture, it leads to false beliefs.
He never changed in the middle of the sentence as to whom he was addressing. Peter did not say Jesus had the flesh of eternal life.

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the
words of eternal life.John 6:68

He was referring to his own corrupted flesh he was born into. It must of been typified as sinful in order to do what the letter of the law as that which kills could not do. Heal or create anew .His word is Spirit and is life giving. the flesh profits for zero.

Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Big difference between the use of the Son of man, Jesus having a beginning . and the Son of God having no beginning. . . our High priest continually. .

The birth of Christ did not represent our salvation but his death. . . as the end of the matter is better than the beginning. . Three days his body did not see corruption. It was like time stood still during the unseen work (Isaiah 53).

Romans 1:3-5 King James Version (KJV) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

No power according to the flesh of the Son of man. . but power by the Spirit of Christ who worked in the Son of man to both will and do the good pleasure of His father. . moved by a faith not of his own self .But as two working as one. The food the disciples knew not of.The hidden manna.

Again, your conclusions are faulty because your facts are faulty. Donkeys (asses in the KJV) are not "unclean" in the same way that swine are unclean... and it isn't a parable.

If you build your interpretation on an incorrect quotation of Scripture, how do you expect to come up with a sound conclusion?

Without parable Christ spoke not .(you are missing the other parts of the understanding. . . the silver and gold. )

There is only one kind of unclean .That which is not purified by faith as a work of God unseen. They are both unclean used in different parables. Both showing God is not served by human hands . It applies to unbelievers. Just like the parable with Balaam's Ass .

In one way you could say how beautiful are the feet of Balaam's donkey sent with the word of good news.

Showing us if God so desired he can use a unbeliever to perform o his will of getting out the gospel as shown by that work of God prophesying through a Ass. It restrained the madness of that false prophets. Just as with Peter's madness when Jesus said to Peter get behind me Satan . The father putting those words in the mouth of the Son of man , Jesus.

The swine were used in that parable to represent the casting of unbelief into a bottom less pit. the sea of judgement

Remember if we are walking by faith we look to the thing hid the eternal not seen. . not to the things seen the temporal .If not you forfeit the understanding of the parable.

Matthew 8:30-32 King James Version (KJV)And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

What else could a person conclude .those who walked away in unbelief No faith that alone comes from hearing God. they were hoping the corrupted flesh of Christ could profit as a form of paganism, Judaism . . those who do glory in the thing seen . Peter did not say to whom can we go you have the flesh of eternal life. That's a Catholic doctrine as a law of the fathers.....

What do you think of this? Friday is a day of preparation, so that no work need be done on the Sabbath. Set aside the Sabbath; it is an appointment with God. Are you going to miss it? 1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome." Just kind of thinking out loud.

Wrong again. Was a camel "not purified by faith"? No. It was simply unclean; unsuitable for human contact in Israel.

I wouldn't, because that's a wacky mashup of distantly-related concepts.

Start with an accurate quotation and see where that gets you.

According to the previous era of sabbaths as rest. Sabbath is not a time sensitive word. We are not to add new meaning to a word ...it can change the authors intent as in this case . Adding time to it takes away its ability to give us rest anytime we mix faith in what we do see or hear. This rest as a ceremonial shadow has been changed to a new era of rests .

The Youngs literal translated it properly .Introducing the new era of Sabbaths


Matthew 28 Young's Literal Translation (YLT) And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre

The new era, the first day of the week no longer the last the shadow of our rest . The day he said let there be the light of the gospel. .and send out the children of light with the gospel of peace.

Someone substituted the word rest (sabbath) for the word week . A word (evdomáda) that is not even used in the Greek new testament .
They used days 7 days. Not Sabbath week

evdomáda is not the same word, as Sabbath.

Same with the use of the word in the fasting verse. Rather than I fast twice of the sabbath the rendering is I fast twice during the week.

The normal fast was three meals a day. Slim Jim was looking for bragging rites
