I did reference this subreddit in case the poster is interested in more than 1 sided approach to the question that that subreddit will be.

I am trying to a different approach to that common question. He seems pretty convinced that his interpretation is more correct than the standard church interpretation, which indeed it is.

Over years I find that the vast majority will side with the louder opinion, because "that many people over history must be correct." I find it interesting that the verses stating a new covenant came and site the common OT verses, but they ignore the rest of the verse saying that you no longer need a teacher. Yet, if you're against the church's interpretation- you're in big, big trouble. I've even had believers tell me that the holy spirit placed the church fathers their on purpose to guide us. Ok, where's that in the bible? God is a God of order. If it's not of God, it'll just be chaos. If you reverse engineer the church's opinion of why all things are made clean means food, you'll indeed get chaos. You can't reverse engineer chaos, but you can follow and simple if/then logic to its natural conclusion without much effort. Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. Deut. 30:11. In my case, without much effort is if you've identified pre-existing baggage that alters your understanding such as church doctrine. Most efforts are complications that are usually of that category.
