“Where have I ‘sneered or smeared evidence’?”
I wasn’t referring to you, you’ve been great and I really appreciate that.
“How is it that when I talk of a priesthood of all believers after Christ, you bring up evidence from the periods before Christ (see your post 622 where you speak of Nachon)? Either this demonstrates gross misunderstanding on your part, or a deliberate disregard for truth.”
I cited Nachon as part of making the point that there was no priesthood of believers in the OT. Do you believe there was a priesthood of believers in the OT? If not, we agree on that point. If you do, why was the believer Nachon struck dead for doing what only a Levite priest was allowed to do?
Grig, The whole point of the curtain tearing was to symbolize the removal of the barrier between God and men. There was no priesthood of all believers in the OT, as you are very well aware.
Why post it if you are aware of this?
