Meat Real 'Priests' vs fakes...likewise, kings, governors, and 'presidents'

Perhaps one of the most misunderstood terms in the English Bible is the word "holy". Outside of being repeated three times in a well-known hymn, I suspect few in 'mainstream xtianity could actually define the word.

And ironically, many probably associate it with a picture of some guy in a fancy robe. Which turns out to be almost funny, albeit tragic, if you read what this week's parsha says instead.

And that speaks volumes.

Especially when you consider how little this reading would SEEM to have to do with a world that is self-destructing.



BTW, when the topic is marriage, and the real priesthood, the issue of how the Word as Written was over-ridden inevitably comes up. The problem that so many have who will try to excuse the perfidy of paganism and the 'Whore Church' is that it is a corollary to the bigger problem, rather than an end in itself. He warned us.
 
I find it interesting that the priests could marry widows of priests, the only exception to marrying virgins.
This allowed the widows to stay within the group that they were familiar with.
