The context here is national Israel referred to as earthly seed. And the ordinances did cease, when Christ fulfilled all the Law.
Better reread the ordinances in the chapter.

One could almost write a small book, regarding these few verses in Jeremiah 31. They have not been ignored at all, but deeply studied. Only literalists fail to see the depths of prophecy and promise and the comparison of old and new covenants contained therein.
Elo,
I agree with the applications you make, but I believe the Testator was both Jesus Christ, first and foremost, and His spiritual seed abiding in Him by faith, secondarily.
Written off and spiritualized
You are the one who writes things off, just out of spiritual laziness. You obviously do not hunger and thirst or care to bother studying, and comparing scripture with all scripture, in order to learn the depths of God's revelation.

Strict MADists reject the teachings of Hebrews. . .
Are your posts made in the attempt to convince MADists otherwise?
That would be a good move . . .

No, the "old man" is not the testator. That is something that is completely unsupported by scripture. Something false doesn't become true just because you keep repeating it.Regardless, your old man is the testator that must die. You cannot "receive the promise of eternal inheritance" unless your old man is crucified with Christ. Paul's epistles support my claim.
The revelation of the FULL meaning behind Christ's death, burial and resurrection was not revealed until it began to revealed by God to Paul in the Mid-Acts time-frame.Did he bear the sins of many mid-Acts? No.
No, you are mistaken. But thanks anyway.You are mistaken.
Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
I wouldn't dispute that. The author may have only meant the Lord in that passage. :idunno:
But when we read the passage in light of the words of Jesus and Paul, what the author of Hebrews is saying necessarily takes on a deeper meaning.
When did the ordinances of Jer 31 cease?
When did the Old Covenant become obsolete, and the New Covenant take effect?
What were the ordinances?
Are you a preterist now?
Are you reading the thread? Are you paying attention to my little conversation with Elo?
Our discussion pertains to Jeremiah 31:36-40 (although unintentional) and the transition that occurs in a soul when freed from the Old and transferred into the New.
When did the sun and moon depart?

These ordinances will surely cease, when the new heavens are established (II Peter 10-13) . .
I think the problem is just mistaken exegesis. Christ died for them BUT...it's the but that transforms what I think should be an expression of abundance into necessity and a gift into a subscription.The problem, Mr. Heretic, is that it is most likely a clear indication that the person who resorts to this tactic, to do something about their sin, has never believed that Jesus died for their sin.
You are reading this prophet literally and on the surface only, and not seeking or delving into the full truths contained therein.
