You still refuse to accept how His people "received the Law" in the Old Covenant. The medium the Law was written on is not the issue here. It is how the Law is placed in our mind. That is what is new. There is no mention of a "New Law", only how His Law is placed in our mind.
Heb. 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (
for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
No longer do folks have only one way to "receive the Law" which was to go to the Levite and the Scribe, which as the Scriptures tell us, had corrupted His Laws, or any religious preacher, like the "Believing Pharisees" in acts 15.. The Messiah replaced the Old Priesthood with the New Priesthood in which He will place
His Laws directly on our hearts. Not religious man's traditions and Doctrines, not new laws, but
His Laws that were once written in Stone, are now placed on Fleshy tables of our hearts.
2 cor. 3:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us,
written not with ink,
but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone,
but in fleshy tables of the heart.
No mention of different Laws, only how they are administered.
And how do we know we received His Laws from Him and not some religious tradition from other spirit?
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him,
if we keep his commandments.
You also refuse to accept how sin's were forgiven in the Old Covenant.
One had to take and animal to a Levite Priest, who then performed "works of the Law" for the justification of sins. Some Jews continue this practice to this very day. but in Paul's time, it was the practice of the Mainstream Preachers of the time.
They, like you, couldn't accept that the New Covenant was the Change in the Priesthood.
But Jesus was not a Levite, and the "Law of Moses" said these sin cleansing rituals could only be performed by Levites. So God's Law was changed by necessity so that the Perfect Man could become the High Priest.
Heb. 7:
12 For the
priesthood being changed, there is made
of necessity a change also of the law.
And what was this change? The elimination of the Law and Prophets? The destruction of His Sabbaths? The re-writing of His Commandments?
In your church and many others yes, this is exactly what you preach. But not the Word's of God.
Heb.
7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken
pertaineth to another tribe, of
which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For
it is evident that our Lord
sprang out of Juda; (Not Levi)
of which tribe Moses spake nothing
concerning priesthood.
Before Jesus could become the High Priest, and take over the duties of the Priesthood, the Law stating the Tribe of Levi was the only bloodline that could be God's Priest's HAD to be changed. And it was.
No more Levite Priests just as He Promised.
"
for I will forgive their iniquity, and
I will remember their sin no more."
Heb. 8:
6 But now hath he
obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the
mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon
better promises.
7 For if that first
covenant had been faultless,
then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, (Priests of the Old Covenant) he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah:
2 cor. 4:
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden
things of dishonesty, not
walking in craftiness, nor
handling the word of God deceitfully;
but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
Starting with the Catholic church and adopted by all her protestant and non denominational daughters, religious man has taught that the Old Covenant and the Old Testament are the same thing. And that the Messiah came to eliminate the Law and Prophets. This is a great deceit. It actually started with the serpent and Eve.
But religious tradition is a powerful evil and if one doesn't "Believe" His actual Word's, then they reject the Armor God created to protect us from it.
At any rate, this stuff in written in your Bible, you just need to have Faith that they are true and religious man is not.
