Yes, of course, it was effective for some of the Israelites. Jeremiah is predicting a day when the Holy Spirit will indwell the entire nation after ungodliness has been removed from Jacob.

Israel didn't exist until 1948.

I understand that. However, Jeremiah explicitly states that "No man will teach... They shall all know Me." In this passage, the prophet is conveying to Israel that God will bring about a time in the future when every person in Israel will know the Lord. This condition will, of course, involve...

Then why do you disagree with me. What is your objection. This is nothing but sophistry. It is you who can't understand spiritual things. I argued that since Jeremiah predicts that evangelism will be unnecessary, and it remains necessary, then Jeremiah 31:33-34 hasn't been fulfilled...

I told you. Jesus' blood is the basis of the New Covenant. Why would you ask me if the New Covenant was fulfilled? Everyone knows that someone must believe in Jesus Christ for the cross to be effective for that person. It will become effective for Israel in the future.

Try to understand the Jeremiah passage and answer my question. When has it ever been the case that evangelism was unnecessary?

Do you honestly believe that evangelism is no longer necessary?

As I said before, Jesus' death on the cross inaugurated the New Covenant, but not all of it was fulfilled.

Quite right. But Jeremiah is predicting a time when it will no longer be taught, "Know the Lord." The Holy Spirit is currently teaching "Know the Lord." Paul foresees a future moment when the Spirit of Truth will withdraw, allowing the emergence of the man of Lawlessness, often referred to as...

Jeremiah predicts a time when Evangelism will no longer be necessary. Most Christians, including Paul, believe that Evangelism remains essential. Therefore, your argument leads to an absurd conclusion.

It is not refuted in scripture. The idea that a soul can exist apart from the body is not Biblical. Neoplatonists affirm that the soul can exist independently of the body. Plotinus, the founder of Neoplatonism, argued that the soul is immaterial and eternal, and it does not rely on the body for...

How did I deny Christ's blood? Of course it is. When did I deny his New Covenant?

In will interpret this as your lack of understanding concerning the concept of "parousia." The pedestrian use of the word simply means "an arrival" or "to arrive." But the New Testament also uses the word according to Roman tradition to speak about the official arrival of a king or other royal...

This isn't true. You lack understanding of the concept of Parousia. Every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord at the final judgment. But the Parousia takes place when Jesus returns to earth, standing on the Mt. of Olives, enters the temple through the east gate and...

When was it ever said, "They will no longer need to say 'Know the Lord' because they shall all know me from the least to the greatest?'"

The concepts of spirit and soul are intrinsically linked to our physical body; they cannot exist independently or in isolation. In the absence of a body, they become void, non-existent. Upon death, a person's consciousness ceases to be, marking the end of their earthly experience. This...

You have no actual rebuttal of my arguments which is why you resort to this kind of language. Try sharpening your argument, if you have one.

We are in the grave. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to...

Of course, their house was not left desolate. But Jesus wasn't talking to them.

You missed the point again. We are talking about Jeremiah's prophecy and the fact that part of it has not yet taken place. His prophecy of the New Covenant comes in two parts: Part A, which has been fulfilled, and Part B, which hasn't. Anyone looking at this objectively will admit that there was...
