If you would try keeping things in contewxt Theodore it might help conversations like this one. Hebrews should be read in its entirety in order to understand the message and theology of the book. It is never a good idea to life texts out of their contextual flow and it is especially a bad idea to do it with Hebrews.<br /><br />New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (LaHabra, CA: The Lockman Foundation, 1995), Heb 7:18.Ed Dingesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007054168398086809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201628496305035793.post-14767685180286284262014-08-02T19:37:54.355-04:002014-08-02T19:37:54.355-04:00"For there being a CHANGE of the priesthood,t..."For there being a CHANGE of the priesthood,that change, made it necessary to make a CHANGE also of the law." Heb. 7:12 Either you don't read very well or is it comprehension or both? The counterfeit church has been built on the foundation of the cross not being an offense.

In ...Theodore, according to Scripture, it was both. In addition, we are not living under two covenants: a modified Mosiac Covenant and the New Covenant. Such an arrangement is without exegetical support. I reviewed your texts and not one of them infer or imply in any way that the law "changed" after Christ. The old has been replaced with the new. There was law but now there is grace. The concept of modified law + grace seems to be your own invention.Ed Dingesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007054168398086809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201628496305035793.post-55346567693702723942014-07-27T17:32:19.698-04:002014-07-27T17:32:19.698-04:00Your assumption is an error.

Crucifying Jesus was the deliberate sin of first degree murder. It is not the direct benefit of him dieing in your place. Theodore A.

There is no reason to lift 2:13 out of its context and speculate that Paul is talking, not about the law, but things that have been added to the law in my opinion.Ed Dingesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007054168398086809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201628496305035793.post-21140473510334911442014-07-24T22:49:29.456-04:002014-07-24T22:49:29.456-04:00The counterfeit always contests against:
