This is the part of the scriptures that the religious leaders of this land are not teaching you. But they are there in your own Bible. You have just been conditioned to ignore them.
Matt. 15:
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
So why were they lost. I could go find some religious franchise, and ask the preacher who calls Jesus Lord, Lord and comes in His Name. But why would I do that, when I have God's Inspired scriptures in my own house.
So I can ask the Word of God which became Flesh Himself. "God, why were Your Sheep lost? Is it because your laws led them astray as "many" who call you Lord, Lord imply?Why did your Son have to come and save them?
And here is what the Word of God which became Flesh said.
Jer. 50:
6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
And again;
Mal. 2:
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
And when this same Word of God became Flesh, HE said the very same thing.
Matt. 15:
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Not God as you imply in your posts.
This is a lousy translation in my view, but it still supports the Word of God which became Flesh.
The Priesthood of Levi was perfect. It was instituted "til the Seed should come". Before his sons corrupted it, he turned many away from iniquity, at least according to the God of the Bible. But these shepherds turned out of the way, they became partial in the Law and caused God's people to go astray, to "stumble" at the law. As the Jesus of the Bible teaches.
Matt. 23:
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Just as Malachi, inspired by the Spirit of Christ, said.
This is part of religious man's custom that really frustrates me personally. Men who purposely omit from their posts any scriptures which contradict their religion. It is so dishonest, but has worked to promote the "other voice" since the serpent first used this tactic on Eve. The verses you omitted DEFINES what changed in the Law. Why would you omit the very definition of the part of the Priesthood Law that changed??
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
1 3 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; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
The priesthood, that was "ADDED" because of Transgressions of God's Law, 430 years after Abraham obeyed God's Laws, Statutes, and Commandments, was given exclusively to the Levites. No other person could partake in the Levitical Priesthood, that is why Paul called it the "Levitical Priesthood". But Jesus wasn't a Levite. So before He could become the High Priest, it was necessary for part of the Priesthood Law to change. The part that said only a Levite could hold the office of God's Holy Priesthood.
Yes, the part of the Priesthood Law you omitted from your post was set aside by necessity. The Word of God which became Flesh promised this change in Jer. 31., and the Hebrews author confirms it.
Heb. 8:
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. (As Zecharias and Simeon, who both had direct access to the Word shows)
8 For finding fault with them, (The Shepherds, sons of Levi, who corrupted the Covenant God made with them on Mt. Sinai) 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:
God Himself will administer His Laws, and God Himself will provide for the atonement of men who transgress His Laws.
After the Order of the High Priest who gave Abraham bread and wine.
What I am doing is posting and trying to have discussions about the Holy scriptures "Many" who call Jesus Lord, Lord, ignore and omit. I am happy to have a discussion about what I have posted. But you telling me I'm wrong because I don't agree with your religion, is no different than the Mainstream Preachers of Christ time telling HIM He was wrong when He spoke of the scriptures they omitted from their religion.
It doesn't have to be this way.
