“Not only did he lose out on ever becoming a high priest, he brought shame to his family joined his enemies, becoming their most zealous apostle.”

Excellent article, however, I wish to point out that Paul was not a Levite—Levi being the priestly tribe. He was a Benjamite. He could have risen to be a highly respected leader in Israel, but becoming the high priest or any priest was never an option for him.

Good point. Iron sharpeneth iron.

I should probably have thought twice before putting it that way, but almost all my blogs contain at least one mistake like that. Oh well, I try to be led by the Spirit but am only human. I can fix it on the website, but alas, FR doesn't have an edit feature.
