Modern Christians often assume that the Levitical administration of Israel under Moses was a deal God made with ethnic Jews, and that the terms of that covenant were entirely ethnic—genetic. The Pharisees believed this and thought the right DNA imprint was sufficient for a right standing with God; modern Christians believe this about those under the Levitical administration and think that it was insufficient. But they both believe that this was the way God expected the people in the Old Testament to think. This is false.
