Speaking of people not making sense...
When do you think Jesus is going to "fully fulfill" the New Covenant?
Have you cut John 19:30 out of your Bible?
David H.J. Gay on the fulfillment of the New Covenant:
.
Listened to David Gay! I love that guy! He preaches the same things I do with the same kind of vigor I do! but He did not say as you allege that the new covenant is fulfilled, but that the old covenant is fulfilled and rendered obsolete. We are living in the new covenant now! Jesus blood is the basis for the new covenant!
But not all features of teh covenant have been fulfilled as even a cursory readinf of Jeremaih 31 shows and if we we asked David Gay ( I think he is a dispy) would agree.
Right now we are in this:
Rom. 11:
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear
unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
but even gay did not say the new covenant has been fulfilled ! He agrees with me!
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.
35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:
36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.
Jesus blood is the basis for the new covenant God will make with the whole nation of Israel (the 1/3 of Zech 13) but He has of yet not made the covenant with the whole nation of Israel as He says HE WILL!
If god says He will do something- I will preach with 100% confidence that HE WILL do what He says, as He said it and not how some men millenia removed retranslate the Words.
