everlasting priesthood

Post by _KevinSim »

I'm involved in an e-mail discussion with someone, and it has to do with a scripture I remember from the Old Testament, where it has a statement quoting God saying the priesthood would be everlasting, or something to the effect that there would always be priests among the Jews. But now I'm having trouble finding it. Does anyone know where this passage might be?

Never mind. I found it in Exodus 40:15 and Numbers 25:13.

The law of animal sacrifice was also an eternal covenant between blood thirsty Jehovah and his Israelite cult. Animal sacrifice was to continue forever. See how Jeremiah taught this:

Jeremiah 33:18 wrote: . . . . and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever


Then came Jesus, the Jewish heretic who condemned animal sacrifice as established by Moses. His followers took it a step further and proclaimed human sacrifice.
