The following quotation is provided regarding the book of Hebrews, namely: " HEBREWS  (Hē´ brew̄s)  Nineteenth book of the New Testament, calling for faithfulness to Jesus, the perfect fulfillment of Old Testament institutions and hope.…  Date Many have pointed to the description of the Jewish sacrificial system in Hebrews 8 — 10 as evidence that Hebrews was written before the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70.  In actuality, the description of the sacrificial system describes the tabernacle — not the Temple — and comes from the pages of the Old Testement — not through observance of the Temple service.  Other evidence, however, does point to a time of writing before the destruction of the Temple.  Hebrews 10:32-34 describes a time of persecution endured by the original recipients.  The perseuction seems to have only included the loss of property.  These circumstances would fit the edict of Claudius in A.D. 49 banning Christians from the city of Rome.  Many believers lost their property as a result.  The author then warned of greater tests ahead, probably referring to the persecutions underway during the reign of Nero in A.D. 64.  If this is true, the writing of Hebrews would be sometime during or just after A.D. 64.  Others see Hebrews 10:32 – 34 as a reference to the persecution of Nero and place the writing during a persecution assumed to have taken place during the reign of Domitian (A.D. 81 – 96).  This seems less likely, as the severity of Nero's persecution does not seem to be reflected in Hebrews.  Hebrews 12:4 says that the readers had not experienced bloodshed. "¹  Harmonizing Hebrews 13:22 with 1 Peter 5:12 clearly indicates that the apostle Peter ( see 1 Peter 1:1, for example ) wrote the book of Hebrews ( note the similarity in wording ).  NOTE: The picture, located at the upper, left corner of this paragraph, was downloaded from the " bing.com " web page.²

The law of Moses made nothing perfect ( see Leviticus 16:16 and Hebrews 7:19, for example ).  To be sure, in Romans 3:20, it is written, " ²⁰ For ^y by the works of the law no human being¹ will be justified in his sight, since ^z through the law comes knowledge of sin. "  Wrongly claiming to be justified by works of the law of Moses is tantamount to claiming, for example, that it was not necessary for Jesus to die on the cross of Calvary.  The apostle Paul ( see Romans 1:1, for example ) wrote ( see 9:1 and 16:22, for example ), in Romans 3:20, that the best that the law of Moses can do is to provide knowledge of sin.  In Romans 5:6-9, it is written, " ⁶ For ^j while we were still weak, at the right time ^k Christ died for the ungodly.  ⁷ For one will scarcely die for a righteous person — though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die — ⁸ but ^l God shows his love for us in that ^m while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  ⁹ Since, therefore, ⁿ we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from ^o the wrath of God " ( Emphasis mine, R.E.W. ).  The Bible teaches that is is not possible to be justified or saved by the works of the law of Moses.

The works of the law of Moses versus justification through faith in Jesus Christ ( see Galatians 2:16, for example ) are shown in Table 1, below:

( † ) Lest false teachers wrongly assume that Pharaoh's daughter, giving Moses his name, is Scriptural authority for a woman being an evangelist and baptizing someone, it is required that we harmonize the Scriptures ( see 2 Timothy 2:15, for example ).  This act by Pharaoh's daughter is a foreshadowing of the apostles in the first century A.D.  Specifically, in 1 Thessalonians 2:6, 7, it is written, " ^6 u Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, ^v though we could have made ^w demands as ^xapostles of Christ.  ⁷ But we were ^y gentle¹ among you, ^z like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. " ( Emphasis mine, R.E.W. ).  The original twelve apostles were all men ( see Matthew 10:1-4, for example, and please read this entire chapter to get the immediate context ).  Jesus never sent any women to preach.  See also Romans 15:1-4, for example.  In Chart 1, below, we see a list of some of the New Testament books containing references to regulation of the human body:

There are at least three-hundred-thirty million gods according to the false religion of Hinduism.³  If we assume a year to consist of 365 days, then attempting to pray to one Hindu god each day can be calculated as follows: \begin{align}\tag{1} Number\_of\_years\_to\_pray\_to\_330,000,000\_Hindu\_gods\_at\_the\_rate\_of\_one\_god\_per\_day &= \big( 3.3 × 10^{8} × \frac{1\hspace{0.2em}year}{365\hspace{0.2em}days}\big)\\ &= 904,109.5890\hspace{0.2em}years. \end{align} Based on the result of equation ( 1 ), above, it is clear that false religion complicates matters for us as human beings.  The Bible teaches that the longest-living human being on this earth was Methuselah — 969 years ( see Genesis 5:27, for example ).  Time and again, the Bible illuminates the absurdity of false teaching ( see Ephesians 5:13, 14, and 20, for example ).  Self-control is one of the nine deeds associated with the one fruit of the Spirit ( see Galatians 5:22, 23, for example ).  We must learn, as Christians, to regulate our bodies according to the Scriptures ( see 2 Peter 1:1-3, for example ).  As priests in the kingdom of God, we must present our bodies as a living sacrifice ( see Romans 12:1, 2; 1 Peter 2:9; and Revelation 1:1-8 ( especially verses 4-6, for example ), for example ).  Please seek and read from the book of the LORD ( see Isaiah 34:16, for example ).
