[roamer_1:] [...] so the old is more important than the new [...]

Dear friend,do you even realize the possible implications of what you're saying is?

Yes, I think I do.

The OT is revealed in the NT through Christ and therfore superior.

See, I do not see one covenant being different from the other... Or one being more important than the other. I see them all as a single thing... and needfully so.

Just one example through typology...

Moses is a "type"(typology) of Christ and is inferior to the superior NT reality which is Christ

But Christ does not cancel out Moses - Indeed, Yeshua lifts Moses up. And He would HAVE TO. Those things YHWH has already spoken cannot come back to Him empty. That is an integral part of His proof that He is Almighty. That there is none like He. That is not to say that typologies have no place, FRiend, but I would assert they have their limits. Yeshua Himself seemed most concerned with things which made the Word of YWHW to have no effect - things that nullify His words cannot be true.

And Hebrews explains that what makes Yeshua's ministry and priesthood superior is that it is more ancient than Aaron - Melchizedek is precedent, and thereby more powerful in authority. Levi bows before Melchizedek, even from within Abraham, before Levi was ever born. That is why, for instance, the Priesthood can come from Judah rather than through Levi. And needfully it must, as THE High Priest is prophesied to come out of Judah (out of David particularly).
