@taylorclogston Oh, I believe they communed with God; that much is made very clear. Granted, they were bound by the Law (which Jesus freed us from), but in His presence, they still had personal interaction with Him.
I was referring to Judaism after Christ’s coming. Does a priest trying to earn His way into God’s favor commune with the Holy Spirit? I think not, as (1) the Spirit’s presence is a gift to be received, not earned (John 7:28-39, Acts 8:20, Acts 2:38, and more), and (2) by turning away Jesus, they turn away this gift.
Also, yes, I’m starting to think the same. I think I’ll save this message for a more contemporary setting and let the fantasy story rather focus on other values.
