1 | Wearing the clothes of the Priests? | Lev 19:19 | skccab | 193619 | ||
Hi Lionheart, How are you? Thank you for your encouragement (you too, Doc). I'm studying Hebrews from a comparative (rather than a contrasting) perspective and it's making me see things quite differently. Instead of the writer telling these people that the temple system is bad and abolished (because they were from the system and the system had worked and served its purpose)- and the writer never does say this. I'm looking at the time period - they had been a part of the temple, then accepted, then tolerated, but now they are being kicked out unless they renounce Yeshua. The writer is telling them to hang tough, the Temple was good but Yeshua is better; that the sacrifice system they are having to leave behind for Yeshua was good and did its work as it was supposed to do but they still have a better High Priest offering better sacrifices. This is just opening up Hebrews so wonderfully. I don't know if I worded this well or not but seeing it in a good to better view works so much better than in a bad to good view. :-)???? Shalom Cheri |

Dear Cheri, You wrote "...bad and abolished..." Whew! Anyone who says that goes way beyond the pale of Christian orthodoxy! It was inadequate (Romans 8:3; Hebrews 7:19) and foreshadowed the perfect (Hebrews 10:1). But it was absolutely good and necessary (Romans 7:7; 10:5). In Him, Doc |

Hey Doc, You should know by now that those aren't "my" words (I'm pro-Torah), but in previous studies of Hebrews, that's pretty much how it would be approached - like the writer of the book is telling the audience that it's bad and done away with. I've always had a problem with that approach, but knew no other. Til recently. :-) Still learning Cheri |
