So having done nothing but a continual grand run-around, you now want to re-litigate it.
And what law did
the people receive? . . .
the people received the
Mosaic law, not the laws for the priesthood.
And what happened to that law which
the people received? . . .it was set aside (
Hebrews 7:18a).
Which law was set aside? . . .the one that was
weak and
useless to make anything perfect (
Hebrews 7:18b). . .the same law of
Romans 8:3 that was
powerless, which in
Romans 8:3 is the
Mosaic law given
to the people.
So what law was changed with the change of the priesthood? . . .the law which the priesthood
administered to
the people (
Hebrews 7:11), the law that was given
under the priesthood to
the people, (
Hebrews 7:11), and not the laws
of the priesthood.
Please explain the meaning of the parenthetical, "for on the basis of (under) the priesthood, the law was given to the people," being true to its words, context and to apostolic teaching (
Hebrews 7:11).
And this request likewise
still remains unanswered.
The law being that law which was given
to the people under the Aaronic priesthood and administered
by the Aaronic priesthood; i.e., the
Mosaic law, which now must be changed because the
new eternal priesthood is given the
New Covenant law, not the Old Covenant law, to administer
to the people of the New Covenant.
Having justifed the necessity of
changing the law because of the change in the priesthood, Hebrews goes on to justify the necessity of
changing the priesthood.
Not according to
Hebrews 7:11, where the law that was changed was the law that was
to the people,
not to the priests.
The Aaronic priesthood administered all the law, not just the animal sacrifices. They administered the assemblies of worship, the feasts, the Sabbath law, the laws regarding parents, murder, adultery, theft, false testimony.
Contrare. . .
chapter context is change of the priesthood, and
subject matter is change of the law given
to the people,
and
not as you maintain: "the law given to the priests."
as your friend was earlier and reading into the scriptures (eisegesis) what the scriptures do not say or do not teach. Under the Levitical Priesthood
the people received the laws for remission of sins through animal sacrifices and sin offerings for blood atonement (see
Hebrews 8;
Hebrews 9 and
Hebrews 10)
