The Blood of the Covenant

[jeremiah1five]

Yours is not Orthodox Christianity. . .

Mine is Biblical Christianity.
That's the only kind there is in existence.
If a person's Christianity is not biblical, then it is not Christianity.

Mine is Biblical Christianity.
That's the only kind there is in existence.
If a person's Christianity is not biblical, then it is not Christianity.

Paul disagrees with you in his letter to the Greeks (Gentiles) in Corinth (1 Co 11:23-27) who are in the New Covenant.

Yours is neither Biblical nor orthodox Christianity.

 

[Mr GLee]

And God's people are the Hebrew people also known as the Jews.
The whole of the bible records God's dealing with the Hebrew people. If you can't see that then you're lost.

What kind of Jew? Remember not all Israel is born again Israel the bride


Romans 2:28-29King James Version28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Some of the outward Jews tried to pass as Christians .The new name the Father re-named the bride in Isaiah 62

Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

FAQ: How is the sacrifice of a man superior to the sacrifice of an animal?

REPLY: Human life was created in the image and likeness of God. No other form of
life came into existence with that distinction, viz: all other forms of life were
created to be expendable, whereas human life was created to be revered.

Plus, human life was given complete and unrestricted dominance over all other
forms of life. None of the other forms of life were given domination over human life.

Over angels and demons too?

 

[Arial]

Plus, human life was given complete and unrestricted dominance over all other
forms of life. None of the other forms of life were given domination over human life.

It wasn't dominance; it was dominion.
It wasn't unrestricted; It was subject to the mandates and commandments of God.
It was not dominion over only other forms of life; It was over all of earth. We were created to be the caretakers of the world that was created as our habitation.

Depends on what you are redeeming.

Sacrificed animals cannot redeem humans, in fact, only a perfect sinles human can redeem humans.

Depends on what you are redeeming.

Sacrificed animals cannot redeem humans, in fact, only a perfect sinles human can redeem humans.

Point of clarification: Only a human can redeem a human (one ordinary human cannot redeem multiple humans for the debt of sin), and only a creator can redeem a creation (and all humans included therein ). It took a fully God and fully human individual to redeem all sinners.

FAQ: Isn't Judaism equally as useful as Christianity for sinners seeking God's
forgiveness? Isn't that the whole purpose of the great day of atonement, a.k.a.
Yom Kippur?

REPLY: Pinning one's hopes on Yom Kippur is futile. For one thing: there's no one to
perform the ritual seeing as how there is neither a Temple nor a fully functioning
high priest on duty in Jerusalem at this time. In point of fact, neither of those two
essential components have been in Jerusalem since 70 AD. But that's not the worst
of it.

The original sacrificial system was effective-- to a point --for addressing the
peoples' actions, and for sanitizing their bodies, but totally ineffective for
addressing the people themselves, viz: the core of their being.

When Adam tasted the forbidden fruit, his perception of decency relative to sex and
the human body underwent a radical adjustment. Whereas before, he was
comfortable seen undressed; afterwards he was uncomfortable seen naked even by
his wife.

The thing is: Adam's moral compass went awry, i.e. his sensitivities became
humanistic, that is: instinctive instead of divine.

● Gen 3:22 . . And The Lord God said: The man has now become like one of us,
knowing good and evil.

In other words: Adam began looking to his own intuition for moral direction instead
of looking to his maker, viz: Adam became a tin God.

Point being: none of the Levitical system's rituals address the corruption inherent
within the human conscience that came about by means of the forbidden fruit
incident.

● Heb 9:13-14 . .The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on
those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.
How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to
death, so that we may serve the living God.

The Greek word translated "consciences" is relative to psychological activity;
especially pertaining to moral perception. So we're not talking about outwardly
sinful behavior here. (cf. Rom 2:16 & Heb 4:12)

Yom Kippur only covered their sin (Ro 4:7), it did not remit it, for its penalty had not been paid.

REPLY: Pinning one's hopes on Yom Kippur is futile.

It's futile because it did not remit their sin, it only covered it.

Christ is the ultimate sacrifice that no other sacrifice can provide. The remission of sins paid by His righteous blood. And He also provides and fulfills the Law demands for perfect holiness and righteousness that no animal can provide.
