Hello again, J.E.,

Where before you were using a dispensational hermeneutic, now your dispensational theology has surfaced.

Clearly you are feeling unsure of your arguments because you have brought out your pathetic hate word again. Last time you did so I adopted the policy of Proverbs 26:5; this time I shall adopt that of the preceding verse.

'Once again you speak of “totally” different covenants.'

'...however you are saying that Christ and Abraham are involved in two “totally” different covenants.'

You have placed the word "totally" in inverted commas as if it were a direct quotation from me. It is not. I have never used the term 'Totally different' to describe the covenants, and nor would I.

However, look at Heb 10 IN CONTEXT of the WHOLE book of Hebrews. Christ is the “fulfillment” of the OC. This is what “takes away the first” means. If they were “completely obliterated” then Heb 11 (the faith chapter) would not need to follow Heb 1-10 as an “example” of faith today (but why if it is obliterated). The NC is a “fulfillment” of the OC not its “complete obliteration.”

Where have I used the term, "totally obliterated"? Why are you using quotation marks for it when it is the first time that it has appeared in our discussion? The only term that I HAVE used in this discussion which you quote is the one that you appear to approve of- "fulfilled". I have used that several times.
It would be nice to think that I might get an apology for being deliberately misquoted, but I'm not holding my breath. However, if we are to continue this discussion, it would be better if you would concentrate on what I DO say rather than on constructing your very own straw man to demolish.
With regard to Hebrews, I look forward to your overview of that book proving decisively from the text that the Old and New Covenant are one and the same. That will be very interesting. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/giggle.gif" alt="" />
