(So once again God/Holy Spirit of God) can directly Commune with God.
The 'change' was the first step in putting back God's orginal design
I thought we were talking about why in the OT objects were the focus of god's blessings and in the NT people were the focus, not how to achieve atonement.
Or am I missing something?
You asked why did God stop blessing objects. I orginally said that 'we' could not take the full measure of God's blessing till Christ died for us and made us pure. Now that we have been made pure through Christ's attonement we can directly receive the blessing of God through the Holy Spirit. You then asked why the change. i said it was not a change to something different but a return to direct communion God shared with Man in the Garden.
So what is your question again?
