Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?

There is no "new law" JD; the law is the law.  Jesus gave a new commandment which the Promise of the Father (Holy Spirit)

enables us to perform whereas the ppl under the old covenant with no supernatural help had a difficult time performing. Also

the blood of bulls and goats could not cleanse the conscience.  Grace is not a cover for sin.  Grace is the power through

the resurrection that enables us to do the will of the Father which in our situation is obeying the Son.  judyt

 

 

 

You and I are profoundly different in terms of our expressed theologies.   A case I point is the above.  

 

You know full well that I am going to reference Jere 31:31-34.  You also know that this passage describes a “new covenant NOT LIKE “  the Old Covenant of Moses.   You probably know that this very passage   is used twice in the book of Hebrews. 

 

Hebrews 10 finds the author applying this promised  new covenant and  its subsequent [eternal]  remission of sins to the  “living way.”  the torn veil of the Holy of Holies that is the body of Christ  (10:18-20.) 

 

But earlier, and more to the point of this discussion, we have the author of Hebrews speaking of the two covenants in this wise:   “..in that He says, ‘a new covenant,’  He has made the first obsolete.  Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away”   (8:13 

 

I feel no need to expand the debate beyond this.   If the scriptures are true with regard to the new covenant, your remaining conclusions are not.
