Isaiah prophesied that He would lay in Zion a stone of stumbling (Isaiah 28:16)- and that is the Christ of whom we testify.
The veil that seperated your high priests was torn from the top (only God can reach 40 feet high) and removed it. While a bell had to be worn by Aaron so he wouldn't displease the Lord (Exodus 28:35), we have no such need that our high priest (Christ) will ever be turned away.
Even after the law was given, God told the people to make an altar of uncut stones (Exodus 20:25) because He did not want their input - salvation belongs to the Lord.
Address what I'm saying here - don't just blow it off.
Thanks Nate (handshake) and without further adieu...
There were two people during Jesus' ministry who Christ commended for having great faith - the Canaanite women and the centurion soldier - now, it's plain as day what they had in common:
Neither were Jews - and what does that mean? Neither were under law.
A new covenant was here in the person of Jesus Christ, and the Jews (who had lived under the law of Moses for 1500 years, and were blessed and cursed by their performance) had God's salvation standing right in front of them.

Deuteronomy 30
6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. (NIV)
Many call themselves believers, but are they really?

Dear elmer,
They "call themselves believers", and in Paul they do believe. Yet on the other hand, as for heeding the testimony of Yeshua, they have simply nailed that testimony to a cross. According to what Yeshua said in Mt 7, the believers of the "false prophets"/Paul, are on the road to "destruction", whereas those that heed Yeshua's message, are built on a firm foundation. Those believers of Paul are expecting their "rapture" which is the "taking" of the tares before the wheat. Those who follow Peter/"stumbling block" (Mt 16), and those who follow Paul, those who "commit Lawlessness", will be "gathered and burned with fire" (Mt 13:40). It is then that the good wheat is put in the barn (Mt 13:30).
It wasn't Paul that said "listen to My beloved Son" and not Moses or Elijah.
Dear elmer,
It isn't the testimony of Paul that has been nailed to a cross, and disregarded, it is the testimony of "My beloved son". Paul's false gospel of Grace, is the antithesis of the testimony of Yeshua, and has the "many" groveling in his wake.

How many times did Paul say, "my gospel"?...When he should have said, what?...

Law-Love God with all your mind and Soul..
…35For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?…
Prophets-Love your neighbor as yourself. Isaiah 58:7
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Ezekiel 18:7
He does not oppress anyone, but returns what he took in pledge for a loan. He does not commit robbery but gives his food to the hungry and provides clothing for the naked.
Iron sharpens Iron..
