Do you think Paul is tossing out all of God's Word for the church members at Corinth?
I noticed I did state previously that Christ, our Saviour, priesthood is from the order of Melchisedec. I stated that specifically for a reason. This was a time before the Levitical law existed. The Levitical law was a law of obedience or a law of "carnal commandment" yet man took it as laws of absolutes there by loosing the true intent of the law.
Example, Jesus healed the lame man on the sabbath then told him to take up his bed and walk. The Jews saw him and said, "It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed." The mans response was, "He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk." Are we saying Jesus told him to sin? I would think not. Always remember his teaching, the laws were made for man, and not man for the laws:
So our savior is not of the Aaron priesthood. Show me the definition of clean and unclean animals prior to the Levitical law? Gen 1:25 says that all animals were created good. So unclean must have come from the fall of man. Do you agree?
I know God told Noah to take 2 unclean and 7 clean animals but show me prior to the levitical law, where God defined clean from unclean animals (other than the serpant)? How did Noah know which was which when he went on the ark? How do we know the list was the same as the Levitical definitions?
Hebrews 7:11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,)
what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 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.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
