Wow, Did I not just explain the Levitical Priesthood is gone? Can you please show me in this post where I failed to recognize the Melchizadek priesthood?
Gen. 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Where did Abraham get these if not from the High Priest of that time.
Gen. 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Gen. 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
I would say Abraham knew full well who the High Priest was, and what He would do for the world, and before your claim, so did I.
But how did you come to the conclusion that I don't know who Melchizedek is, or that I still believe the Levitical Priesthood with it's "Works of the Law" for remission of sins are still here.
Where on earth have I ever stated or even suggested such a thing. I have read my post over several times and can not find even one thing that could have given you this idea. I must have missed something.
Please let me know so I can avoid such a ridiculous and untrue claim about my beliefs in the future.

In my concordance, besides the word "complete" is also the word "perfect"
Why did the poster miss that?
He seemingly has an agenda that includes retaining sin in his life.
As for "naming the name of Christ", isn't it written..."[FONT="]Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ [/FONT]depart from iniquity." (2 Tim 2:19)
