Re: Hello from a Saved Bastard
I was thinking about The Law. Jesus was clear that all 613 commandments were in force. That includes requirements for sacrifice. The only difference is that when a sacrifice is required Jesus has become that sacrifice. In Hebrews the sentiment remains present tense:
Our innate vile nature has been purified with something beyond itself. Rather than purifying what after all is only patterned on the things of Heaven, a process requiring blood, it is the Heavenly things themselves which purify us. And do so perfectly. The blood of humans, Jephthah's daughter, priests of Baal, fraudulent incense burners and so on could only assuage the Divinity for so long. Animal blood was also used but was no more effective. The blood in all these things is part of the model. The model patterned on the things of Heaven.
Moving on from human blood we come next to divine blood. This was in Jesus. It was able to purify the Heavenly things themselves. This is the source of our purification, it is thorough and complete. It cannot be undone. Eating a bat would once have undone the purification achieved temporarily with lower grades of blood. But our grade of blood is TOP SHELF. EXPORT QUALITY. Yet in none of this to I see any way to undo the bastard curse. There are a lot of ancestors to assess. Can we ever be sure? Really sure?

HEBREWS 9 . KJV . look up
22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
