The last dispensation was given by the ministry of angels. How is the new dispensation superior and in what way does Christ prove the old to be infinitely inferior? Thoughts?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Andrew Murrey’s The Holiest of All says this about the portion Second Section - ii. 5-18
Jesus, even in His humiliation as Man, more than the Angels.
The reason of the humiliation.
The reason of the humiliation.

The "last" was a ministry of bondage (vs.15), with death as the only result of the efforts of man. God's law was absolute. The "new" states that Jesus paid that price and was resurrected by God. The power of the law which kept man in bondage was gone.

Hi Zao , and this is what I see in Heb 2:5 !!
#1 , Verse 5 takes us back to the ( ANGELS ) of chapter 1 !! But instead of presenting the Messiah as better than angels , which was done in chapter 1 , the angels are seen in a different light !!
#2 , The futureb age of the Millennium is not in subjection to them !!
#3 , Mankind and Jesus were made a little lower than the angels !!
#4 God did not give and aid to angels !
#5 The ( the world to come ) is no agreement as to its meaning , and some believe it refers to the Eternal State , or refers to this present age , and some believe it refers to the MILLENNIUM
#6 I believe it refers to the Millennium and that and that angels will not control the KINGDOM !!
#7 The Greek word SUBJECTION / HUPOTASSO is a military term , meanings , To subject to , put in submission , to arrange under !!
The Messiah will rule with a Rod of Iron , Psa 2:9 !!

That thread is from my old ID, so thank you for picking up the thread. The context was that the last dispensation was given by angels and this dispensation by the spirit.
Hebrews 1:5 talks about today hearing. It reflects on Psalm 8
2:5 Now God did not subject the coming world, about which we are speaking, to angels.
