Hebrews 7:12 … A change in the Priesthood
(09/20/2016)
“For when there is a change in the priesthood,
there is necessarily a change in the law as well.”
~ unknown (Hebrews 7:12)
This verse (especially when coupled with its sister passage in Hebrews 8:8-13) is
an extremely important one, for it is here that the Bible itself quite plainly tells us
that The Way of Jesus Christ – namely, his Way of Selfless Love – now takes
complete precedence over all other biblical ways; the ways of wrath and judgment
and condemnation offered by much of the Bible‟s “Old Testament,” the ways of
Paul and many other New Testament authors, and the way of Revelation as well
… Indeed, Hebrews in general (if read Truth-fully) quite clearly makes the
appropriately moral claim that any verses in the Scriptures that happen to in any
way contradict Jesus‟ teachings on humble mercy, unconditional forgiveness,
selfless service, and noble self-sacrifice are fully null & void – that the time of
arrogance & fear & aggression has past, and that a perfectly humble,
unconditionally given LOVE for all sentient beings now rules the day.
