This letter also tells us that the Abrahamic Covenant has ceased under the New Covenent of Christ (Heb 8:13), the new High Priest in the order of Malchizedek (Heb 7:17). There is much in this book about our new identity in Christ. If we add anything to Christ, like our denomination, or our Pastor, the Pope, or the land of Israel, or anything at all, it becomes our idol. Yahweh hates idols and why Christ was necessary in the first place, but like the Jews, we love to place things between ourselves and Yeshua.
I always appreciate your Scriptural dissertations and, honestly, Pastor Irvine, your sharings today about the book of Hebrews completely aligned with those of my favorite Christian pastor's teachings. That pastor stated, form the pulpit, that it is not known exactly WHO authored the book of Hebrews--is that your understanding as well, Robert?

SHALOM, brother in faith!
Hi Sharon, always lovely to hear from you. Your pastor is correct in that we don’t know who wrote the book
