  Under Moses God ~required~ the shedding of blood of animals as a means for the Israelites to ratify the covenant. Had there been no blood shedding that would have meant that Israel had broken the covenant. Therefore blood was ~necessary~. Now... it was the function of the Aaronic priesthood to carry out the requirements of blood; offering the sacrifices & sprinkling the blood & burning the animals... etc. This activity was ~necessary~ otherwise the covenant would have been broken. And this ~necessary~ activity was confined to the Aaronic Priesthood exclusively. Anyone other than a legal Levitical Priest who tried to offer to the Lord was in violation of the covenant. Aaron’s sons, Nadab & Abihu were immediately killed by God when they tried to sacrifice strange fire on their own! So... without the shedding of blood the covenant, . WHICH WAS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, is broken. And without the Aaronic Priesthood there is no legal shedding of blood; the covenant is broken. But folks... here’s the point; THERE IS NO MORE LEVITICAL PRIESTHOOD! Yet Covenant Theologians want to tell us that Moses is not only still in force but it is/was for ALL men in ALL ages! If that’s so then animal sacrifices are of ~absolute necessity~ otherwise the covenant is broken. So Covenant Theologians want us to remain under Moses... but then be "under Christ" at the same time! Not only is this absurd, it’s patently UNbiblical. It is against Scripture because the book of Hebrews clearly teaches that both the law and the Priesthood were changed, being fulfilled & done away in Christ, God’s Messiah. This was necessary because the Aaronic Priesthood needed to be changed because Jesus Christ was not a Levite; He was of the tribe of Judah and if the Aaronic Priesthood had not been changed [done away] then Jesus Christ was not a true legal priest and there is no salvation in Him! 

Covenant theology is heresy. It denies the words of God in Scripture.
