Are you saying that the scripture telling us of the new covenant in Christ is also telling us that parts of the bible are not scripture? That cannot be. Surely the new covenant you talk of is not asking me to deny scripture. The entire book of Hebrews is dedicated to how Christ built on scripture and is better. Are you saying that book is wrong, too? It even mentions things that are obsolete that were used then, and how Christ made those things better and to use that, now. With how you are saying, then when we have our 2014 model cars, they can't use any of the principles of first cars, yet the fact is that we have our 2014 models because it is an outgrowth of the first inventions, not because it cancelled everything before.

Here's an interesting point and a fun fact that some people may not know. The Mosaic Dietary Laws actually do set apart a type of insect that are "kosher" to eat. Of these it is to be assumed this is what John the Baptist was eating, and can be further supported as the Kosher Locust was seen back then as a poor man's food, thus fitting in with John's background. From what I gather though some of the modern survivng species of the so-called Kosher Locust may have gone extinct and what remains is in somewhat of a dispute as to whether or not it fits the Levitical Kosher guidelines. I'm not saying you should go out eating grasshoppers left and right, but it certainly is an interesting bit of the dietary codes that is often overlooked and in my opinion, just kind of a fun thing to study.
Leviticus 11:21-23
21) Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
22) Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
23) But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.

Show me scripture where it says Christ made the old testament "better".
Stop pretending scripture says someting it doesn't. The old one had faults. The new one is better. The old one is passe, that is to say, dated. It was useful for what God wanted it for, but in HIS plan, the new one is different. Not a "new and improved" version of the old. DIFFERENT!

I do, but when you say replaced, from all your old posts you are meaning that it not only replaced the old priesthood, but that the old one has absolutely nothing to do with what the new one is like. I don't go along with the word replaced as you mean that word.
I just replaced my old electrical box, threw the old one out, it is in the garbage. Gone. But the new one is a better box than the old one, and the guy who invented the new one used the same principles the new one had. Old one didn't work any more, if I overloaded a circuit I couldn't throw the switch to make it work again. It is the same with the priesthood.
