Emile,
"It is Israel as a whole who did not continue in God's old covenant. Even Abraham did not continue in the oc. It was Abraham's faith or his simple trust and believing in God's word why God counted it as righteouness. He was looking towards the hope of God's redemption." --- Emile, I AGREE with this statement. So.....
Are you saying the New Covenant in Hebrews 8/Jeremiah 31 was created for Israel as a whole (the historic House of Judah and House of Israel)? Or was it as you said before, created for Israel, your biblical definition of the people of the Faith of Abraham? Which one? I asking you humbly to answer this question simply and directly. I am not asking you how people are saved, in the Old and New Testament.
I feel like I asked you this 100 time already, and I'm deeply sorry for that! But I want a straight forward answer. Up until I do not feel I have got one and it is essential to know this answer to continue our study.
All I want to know, please, who are these verses addressing, that God wants to make a new covenant with? ....
I also appreciate the time you are spending with me to study the scriptures. I feel it an honor and a blessing.
God Bless,
Steve |
