Amen.Each one ( one on ONE ) obedient in their , own time .
The Gospel scriptures speak of the blood covenant but how does the relate to your statement about Jeremiah 31?
I asked...You are right, We and They are under the new covenant of the Blood of Jesus. Not the covenant of Jer.31.
I don't understand how any of the scriptures you have listed relate to my question.On which scriptures do you base your belief that Jeremiah 31, is not the new covenant
Amen.
The Gospel scriptures speak of the blood covenant but how does the relate to your statement about Jeremiah 31?
I Corinth 11:25 - the blood covenant
2 Corinth 3:6 - new covenant, not the old covenant written on stone tablets
Heb 9:15 - not the old covenant law
Heb 9:20 - blood covenant
I think we have a miscommunication. Maybe I have misunderstood you. This is what you said....
I asked...
I don't understand how any of the scriptures you have listed relate to my question.
Do you believe Jeremiah 31, is yet another covenant? If so why?
What scripture teaches you this? I'm not saying you are wrong. Many people believe this. But I don't know which scriptures say this.Jer.31 is a new covenant that Gods Chosen People will be given for the thousand year reign.
There is always confusion when people try to equate the Church with redeemed and restored Israel.If they are now under the New Covenant, why do we yet have to continue to remind every man our neighbor, and every man our brother to know the Lord? The New Covenant that we are under now is the Blood in the cup.
Job, the only thing I have a problem with in what you have said here is, that the blood covenant will be the covenant that Israel and Juda will be under when Jesus comes back to earth to reign for the millennium. This blood covenant is the covenant that we (Jew and Gentile) are under now. The covenant that the restored Israel will be under will be the covenant of Jer.31.There is always confusion when people try to equate the Church with redeemed and restored Israel.
The New Covenant began the day that the Lamb of God shed His own precious blood for the remission of sins. That is an eternal Covenant since the blood of Christ -- who is God -- has infinite value (Acts 20:28). This same New Covenant will apply to redeemed and restored Israel AFTER the Second Coming of Christ. There are only two covenants pertaining to God's relationship with sinners -- the Old Covenant, where the blood of animals COVERED sin for a season, and the New Covenant, where the blood of the Lamb of God TOOK AWAY sin.
At the present time, Israel is spiritually blind (in part) and God does not distinguish between Jew and Gentile, either for the propagation of the Gospel, or within the Church (Jew and Gentile in one Body without distinction). Once the Church is complete, God will resume His dealings with Israel and the Jews, and will eventually establish the restored kingdom of Israel on earth. That is when no man will have to remind his neighbor and brother "to know the Lord", because all of Israel will be redeemed at that time. (This will in no wise affect the position of the Church in relation to Christ).
MWood,Job, the only thing I have a problem with in what you have said here is, that the blood covenant will be the covenant that Israel and Juda will be under when Jesus comes back to earth to reign for the millennium. This blood covenant is the covenant that we (Jew and Gentile) are under now. The covenant that the restored Israel will be under will be the covenant of Jer.31.
So you believe that Hebrews 8:8-13 is not talking about this new covenant but another future covenant?Read Jer. 31:31. These are the scriptures that teaches this.
There is no indication in any of these scriptures that a covenant of blood would be made to anyone at any time. Especially a covenant for both the Israelites and the Gentiles. The covenant of the blood will end when the saints are caught up into the clouds to be with the Lord. It is a part of this age of grace, till the fullness of the gentiles be come in.MWood,
We can establish from Scripture that the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 is integral to the New Covenant of the New Testament in the blood of Christ, which extends into the Millennium and beyod:
Jeremiah 31:31-34 (Prophesied about 600 BC)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Hebrews 8:6-13 (ratified with the Blood of Christ)
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
There are two covenants that we have been discussing. The Jer.31 covenant is a future covenant that will be given to Israel and Juda at a time in the future. Which is also the same one that is mentioned in Heb. 8.So you believe that Hebrews 8:8-13 is not talking about this new covenant but another future covenant?
I believe you have a misunderstanding. Just as the blood of animals ratified the Old Covenant, the shed blood of Christ has ratified the New Covenant. Jesus said "This is the New Testament (Covenant) in my blood". There is no other "blood covenant" in Scripture.The other covenant we are discussing is the covenant of the blood that Jesus talked about in the scriptures that I gave you in another post.
OK, just making sure that is what you believe. I don't agree with you and frankly I believe this interpretation is very harmful to the Jewish people, who do not know their Messiah.The Jer.31 covenant is a future covenant that will be given to Israel and Juda at a time in the future. Which is also the same one that is mentioned in Heb. 8.
Do we have the laws written into our minds, and written in our hearts? Do we have too continuously remind every man our neighbor and every man our brother to know the Lord? For all would know the Lord, from the least to the greatest. This has not happened yet. We are always reminding everyone to know the Lord, and will continue until Jesus comes back the second time.OK, just making sure that is what you believe. I don't agree with you and frankly I believe this interpretation is very harmful to the Jewish people, who do not know their Messiah.
It is also harmful to the Christian, because if those words are not the new covenant, then what law is written on our hearts/minds? Are we still accountable to God for the sins of our fathers? Generational curses?
It also means that the old covenant is still in effect. Which means that in order to be one of His Chosen People, one has to be circumcised and abide by Moses' Law, that is what it commands for a proselyte.
