THE CHURCH THAT CHRIST BUILT

[jeremiah1five]

The New Covenant writings, also known as the New Testament, are a collection of documents that testify to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Jewish Christian church. These writings were composed by Jewish Christians who were living in or traveling to various Gentile lands, such as Corinth, Ephesus, Thessalonica, Philippi and others. The Jewishness of these writings is evident in many ways, such as the use of the Hebrew Scriptures, the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies, the continuity of God's covenantal promises, the centrality of Jerusalem and the temple, and the observance of Jewish customs and festivals. The New Covenant writings also address the challenges and opportunities that Jewish Christians faced in their interaction with Gentile cultures, such as the question of circumcision, food laws, idolatry, persecution, unity and diversity, mission and ethics. The New Covenant writings are therefore a rich source of insight and inspiration for Gentile Christians today who seek to learn the origin and history of the New Covenant Church founded in Jerusalem by Jews in accordance with the New Covenant prophecy described in Jeremiah 31.
The New Covenant is a covenant made between YHWH and the House of Israel (Northern Kingdom), and the House of Judah (Southern Kingdom.)

No, the new covenant is a covenant God made between, God and Jesus.

Galatians 3:15-18
Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ. What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

The promises made to Abraham were also made to Abraham's seed, and Abraham's seed is Jesus. The promises were made to Jesus. These precedes all the references cited in this opening post. Let us also not neglect,

Genesis 3:15
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.

That same seed is one of the two to whom God made promises.


Tell, me jer, why all these many, many verses that clearly indicate the covenant mentions of "house of Israel," and "house of Judah" are ALL better understood in the context of what preceded them and what followed them are resisted? Why do you start in the middle?
