DO NOT BE CARRIED AWAY

HEBREWS 13:9:
"DO NOT BE CARRIED ABOUT BY DIFFERENT AND VARIED AND ALIEN TEACHINGS; FOR IT IS GOOD FOR THE HEART TO BE ESTABLISHED AND ENNOBLED AND STRENGTHENED BY MEANS OF GRACE (GOD'S FAVOR AND SPIRITUAL BLESSING) AND NOT [TO BE DEVOTED TO] FOODS [RULES OF DIET AND RITUALISTIC MEALS], WHICH BRING NO [SPIRITUAL] BENEFIT OR PROFIT TO THOSE WHO OBSERVE THEM."

Doctrine of Christ, "For when the blood of animals is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin, the victims' bodies are burned outside the limits of the camp." [Lev.16:27]

"Therefore Jesus also suffered and died outside the [city's] gate in order that He might purify and consecrate the people through [the shedding of] His Own Blood and set them apart as holy [for God].
