Does the Body of Christ need a High Priest? The whole priesthood — Aaronic and Melchisedec alike — belongs to Israel's program. Paul never calls Christ the High Priest of the Body; he calls Him our Head, Saviour, and one Mediator. This study makes the case and answers the Romans 8:34 and Hebrews objections.

Christendom pictures Christ as our Advocate, forever pleading our case before the Father. But Paul never once calls Him our Advocate, and the Body has a standing no accusation can touch. Here is why the Advocate of 1 John belongs to Israel's believing remnant, and why our settled completeness in Christ needs no pleader.

What we sing, we are taught. Paul files congregational singing under teaching and admonishing one another, so when the Body of Christ sings Israel's throne of grace, covenant showers, and earthly kingdom, she catechizes herself in the wrong program one beloved hymn at a time. A plea to sing with understanding what is true of the Body of Christ.

Satan is one adversary, but he does not wage one war. Toward Israel's remnant he is the accuser and the devourer, assaulting a salvation kept by endurance. Toward the Body of Christ he can only deceive, for our standing is sealed beyond his reach. Right division belongs to the doctrine of the devil no less than to the doctrine of grace.

Hebrews 4:16 tells its readers to come to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace in time of need. But Paul tells the Body of Christ we already stand in grace, seated in Christ, blessed with all spiritual blessings. Here is why that beloved verse belongs to Israel's believing remnant, not to us.

The Sabbath was Israel's covenant sign — never given to the Body of Christ. This article examines Seventh-day Sabbatarians, Sunday-as-Sabbath Christians, and the church holy day calendar, showing why the unspoken requirement to observe certain days is the most oppressive form of calendar bondage. Paul settles it in Colossians 2:16.

The blood of Christ is the heart of the gospel Paul preached. This study traces what the blood accomplishes — propitiation, redemption, justification, reconciliation — and shows why Christ could not save by dying just any way. The shed blood and the cross were necessary, foretold in the Scriptures, and proven accepted by the resurrection.

A Facebook post claims Paul only taught believers not to be judged for keeping days — not that they should stop. This article examines the direction of Colossians 2:16, the Acts 15 council ruling, and what Paul's delight in the law actually means.
