***You always write these books and I don't read them.***

That's your problem! I have taken the time to prepare a good lesson in the exact reason why it is improper to return to a system of animal sacrifices and your only response is "I don't read them!" You do understand that the majority of my post was a quote from the Hebrews letter?

Psa 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation.
Psa 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

I may be young, but I do ponder the Bread that the Lord has prescribed for me day and night.

***Nuff said. I think that looking back and celebrating (communion) is also within the known decisions already made by God. For him to do the same with Jews doesn't seem contradictory to me.***

And yet, the Lord's Supper will end when the Lord Himself returns! This is the prescribed method in which the Lord Himself has ordained.

1. The giving of the Law, which is a shadow of better things.
2. The comming of the better things with the ending of the sacrifices of the Law and the institution of the memorial Supper.
3. The coming of the Lord and the end of the Supper with the establishment of the presence of Christ.

Here is some more of that Hebrews letter which you are ignoring and actually boasting that you don't read:



Now where remission of these [is, there is] NO MORE OFFERING FOR SIN. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And [having] an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.


In short, while you seem bent upon heading back to the animal sacrifices and joining the unconverted Jews, the saints are DRAWING NEAR to the true tabernacle by faith having the blood of Christ.

***Now, do you believe we're in the millennium NOW?***

Of course I do; I believe these words from the Hebrews letter that you "don't read":

And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD; From henceforth expecting ~TILL~ his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.


This is a plain and straightforward order. The Lord, after he offered one sacrifice for sin, put an end to the animal sacrifices and sat down on the right hand of God. He will be there until His enemies are made his footstool. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death.

***Now, do you believe we're in the millennium NOW?*** Of course I do

That was the part I asked about.

I don't have a reading comprehension problem. I have a "selective" reading problem. I skim for what I asked about. (Jean, I've told you this before.)

Short and sweet answers for short and sweet questions.
