The ark carried the Glory of God.
JESUS was the ark of the new covenant. HIS body carried the glory of God.
Catholics are making the wrong person the ark.
I’m sorry, I have to disagree. The Ten Commandments were written by the hand Of God. THAT was the basis of the Old Covenant. The Old Testament Ark was built by human hands, to the Lord’s specifications. As an aside, it was also covered by, Gasp!, graven images.
So the law, i.e., the Covenant along with manna was INSIDE the Ark.
Christ was carried INSIDE the womb of Mary. She was/is the Ark of the New Covenant. His body was inside her body.
I don’t think this is so very difficult. Why don’t you try taking on the other points I brought up. You seem to be running away, again, from the issues I discussed. Go ahead. Give it a shot.
The ARK is the Ark!
Quit trying to make it something it ISN’T!!!
