                                        COMMENTARY

  If the law "makes men high priests" and it is still in effect then the law says that any high priest MUST be from the line of Levi through Aaron! Therefore, as noted, the law must of necessity have been changed; abrogated; done away!

  Moreover we see here the Law, which was the Ten Commandment Covenant, is inseparably joined to the Levitical Priesthood for it says "For the Law makes, or appoints  men high priests." That was one of the functions of the law and that law made or appointed Aaron & his line to the Priesthood. Therefore if the law is still in force you must -of necessity- have the Levitical Priesthood. Otherwise you have broken that covenant. That means that Covenant Theologians are in a continual broken covenant status!
And they think that that is pleasing to God?

  Further, if the 10C Covenant requires the Levitical Priesthood, and it does, then what of those who Covenant Theologians claim were under the 10Cs before Moses? There is no record of such nor of a "Levitical" Priesthood before Moses. That means that everybody before Moses who were supposedly under the 10Cs were all in a continual status of a broken covenant, including all the Patriarchs!
