Well, not anymore, but that's beside the point.

So, not the same yesterday, today, and forever?
Not a descendant of David?

The Levitical priesthood originated in and stood by the law, and according to the law, Jesus is disqualified from the priesthood. His priesthood predates Abram's call, circumcision, and the law. It was, and is, essentially, a gentile priesthood, a universal priesthood, an eternal priesthood.

I am not defending the Levitical priesthood.

The Jewish thing was the parentheses in God's plan. They opened at Sinai, and closed at Calvary. The Jewish thing is over. It's done with. Kaputt.

So when God promised David an eternal heir to a Jewish throne, God didn’t mean it?

I really was trolling. I know how much you hate the Jews. I couldn’t leave it alone.

Methinks God uses them to provoke you to jealousy.

Was He always a man, or did He become a man in time? Obviously the verse you're wresting to support the notion of eternal "jewishness" has to do with His divinity, not his earthly parentage.

Not a descendant of David?

According to the flesh, yes, and also the son of Mary.

But we no longer know Him after the flesh.

Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. - 2 Corinthians 5:16-17

I am not defending the Levitical priesthood.

You most definitely are.

So when God promised David an eternal heir to a Jewish throne, God didn’t mean it?

You need to think a little harder about what was promised, and what the fulfillment is.

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? - Matthew 22:41-45

The house of David is the Church.

When they had finished, James stood and said, "Brothers, listen to me. Peter has told you about the time God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people for himself. And this conversion of Gentiles is exactly what the prophets predicted. As it is written: 'Afterward I will return and restore the fallen house of David. I will rebuild its ruins and restore it, so that the rest of humanity might seek the LORD, including the Gentiles--all those I have called to be mine. The LORD has spoken-- he who made these things known so long ago.' - Acts 15:13-18 NLT

I really was trolling. I know how much you hate the Jews. I couldn’t leave it alone.

Ah now, quit your fibbin'. I know exactly where you're coming from, and you know nothing of the sort.
