And you have no idea what Eph 2-3 is saying and may not realize it is not an aberration. It is the same as Col (it is the long form of Col), Romans, Galatians.
I'd say that it is you that has the wrong understanding.
So, once again:
What is "Eph 2B-3A"?
Eph 2:11-13 (AKJV/PCE)
(2:11) Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; (2:12) That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: (2:13) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
NOTE: by the
BLOOD and NOT by the covenant.
There are plenty of universally-applicable truths in Hebrews;
I have never denied this and have pointed it out myself. There are some universally applicable truths in ALL of the scripture. That does NOT mean that every word in every book is written in a DIRECTLY applicable manner to everyone that has ever lived.
The fact that you can read books like Hebrews or Revelation and not see that they are completely saturated with Israeli doctrines is a clear sign of spiritual blindness.
there are a few things like the warning about their land being toast that are just to them, but the victory over death, the reign of Christ, the atonement, the new covenant, the Jerusalem that is above, all that is for all peoples.
No, my poor confused IP, the new covenant is between the SAME TWO PARTIES as the old one was. It is a REPLACEMENT of the TERMS of the covenant.
Scripture is clear, but you refuse it.
Jer 31:31-34 (AKJV/PCE)
(31:31) ¶ 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: (31:32) 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: (31:33) 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. (31:34) 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.
Stop chopping up the Bible so that D'ism makes sense. Start chopping up D'ism since the Bible already makes sense.
Stop putting the Bible in a blender and making a complete mess out of it.
