08/03 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

8 - Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 9 Don’t be misled by different, new, and strange teachings, for what’s good for the heart is to be strengthened by grace - not by foods, what to eat and what not to eat, which doesn’t spiritually benefit those devoted to it. {Must have been a prevalent teaching/doctrine at the time.} 10 We have an altar from which those who {still} serve in the tent have no right to partake. [“Serve in the tent” - the wilderness temple, all such - temple, holy days - are an illustration of spiritual reality. The “law of Moses” was a system of rules for preserving society and character. Imperfect is entropy. It cannot make itself perfect in order to stop the entropy (a slow gehenna crucible, but(!) it was Ant Farm oR Total ‘herd’ Immunity?]

     11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place, by the high priest, are a sacrifice for sin. {And cure, strong enough to convince and appease every psyche and conscience.} And the dead body is burned up outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate (of the city wall) in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp (outside societal acceptance and approval - I read that in a commentary) and bear the reproach he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city (world, kingdom) but we seek (await) the one that is to come!
