And so your "every single one" argument has been debunked. |
You are good, Paul! You almost had me making the argument that I said didn't matter!
My earlier point stands that if the covenant people as a whole are referred to by the descriptions in Jeremiah 31, which the Old Covenant people as a whole were never referred to, there is a categorical difference (a progression, if you will). That categorical difference, or progression is in the people (not by their own merit, but by grace). God makes the people different.
Let's just take one description of the corporate group, ok? Are you suggesting that the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31 is made with the physical house of Israel and Judah, in other words, physical Jews? If not, who is it made with?
