d Rend. “Now if he were on earth he would not be a priest at all, seeing that there are those who offer the gifts according to the law.” Christ could not be a priest on earth, because there is an order of priests already established by law; and as Christ was not of the tribe of Levi (Hebrews 7:13, Hebrews 7:14) he could have nothing in common with them. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- [source]
