>can we attain perfection by the leviticul priesthood and it's precepts such as celebrating the sabbath on saturday? i.e what seventh day adventists believe
The answer is no according to romans 3:10
>As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Hence hebrews 7:11-12
>If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
>For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Now the leviticul preisthood and it's precepts are a useful guide on how to better please God as mentioned in hebrews 8:5-13
>Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
>But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
>For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
>For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
>Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
>For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
>And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
>For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
>In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
But do not try to obtain righteousness by said leviticul priesthood's according to the law, hebrews 9:19, as warned against in romans 9:31-33
>But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
>Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
>As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Now that we have established that the leviticul priesthood being a shadow of things to come, let's look at the Melchisedec priest hood's seventh day as mentioned in hebrews 4:1-11
>LET us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
>For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
>For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
>For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
>And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
>Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
>Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
>For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
>There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
>For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
>Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
The Melchisedec priesthood's sabbath/seventh day hasn't happened yet for us Christians. So keep the sabbath holy, once it actually happens. Guessed where the rest for Christians happens? See revelation 14:13
>And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
When do their works follow them for this rest? See revelation 22:12
>And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
When Jesus comes back, also known as the day of the Lord.
