Page 78 - Laying Down the Law

Hebrews 7:14
For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke
nothing concerning priesthood.

Nevertheless, Yahshua is a priest. Indeed He is a High Priest, but of a different
order, a perfect order. And He is priest of a different Law.

Hebrews 7:11-13, 18-19
Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the
people received the law), what further need was there that another priest
should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called
according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, of
necessity there is also a change of the law... For on the one hand there
is an annulling of the former commandment because of its
weakness and unprofitableness, for the law made nothing perfect;
on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we
draw near to God.

People of God, do you not see that those who are teaching the Law of Moses as
a code of conduct for the body of Christ are acting as Levitical Priests? Christians are
not called to be ministers of the Old Covenant, but of the New.

II Corinthians 3:6
[It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient]
as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ],
not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the
code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive.
[Amplified Bible]

The apostle Peter proclaimed that Christians are a nation of priests. They are not
Levitical priests administering the Law of Moses. They are priests of the order of
Melchizedek. They have been entrusted with a new covenant, based upon far
surpassing promises. That which was imperfect has given way to that which is perfect.

Hebrews 8:1-7, 13
Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High
Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the
heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord
erected, and not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and
sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.
For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests
who offer the gifts according to the law; who serve the copy and
shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he
