So nothing from the 1st century, and definitely not a whole NT or letters.
Nothing except what I showed you...beginning with Clement's epistle, well attested, and buttressing Paul's claims and epistles. Pliny, Tacitus and Josephus. All first century or early second...as John was.
Jeremiah 31:31-34 doesn't say anything about the law being old. How do you say renewed in Hebrew?
"I give you a new covenant, not like the one I made with your fathers..." Looks like two covenants...one new, and the other that is not quite as new...
Jeremiah 31:31-34 is clear who the covenant pertains to.
Yep...it is. All who have the faith of Abraham, who believed God and it counted.
Ok. I sent you on treasure hunts?
You bet. I never dismiss out of hand, but investigate the source material you provide...until I get frustrated because you give me page references when I want quotes.
Why? You have access to the net.
Sure I do...and I provide quotes when I make an argument to convenience you. It's just not polite in my circles to say, "You can look it up...it's on page 3271 of so and so's five thousand page opus." when I could just as easily say, "Eusebius says Paul..." and quote his arguments. Call me lazy. I'll admit to being limited.
Yes, and by his stripes we're healed, not by death. But, you need to focus on asham as it doesn't cover all sins.
Apparently this one does. Your argument is specious, despite its antiquity. I derive the intent from its fulfillment. You deny its fulfillment and you're left with an argument...that denies the evidence.
No, they would have avoided contact with the dead as much as possible. It's a problem for the Passover, and the reason the Jews left Jesus who was defiled in Praetorium.
You know this doesn't work...you're not even reasoning correctly.
No claim was made during the Sabbath. Joseph of Arimathea, member of the council, had already defiled himself to bury him. The problem of the Resurrection happened on the third day...and the council was told by the Roman guards what had taken place. It would have been easy to stop all the hubbub immediately on day one by going to the family tomb...a well-to-do Jerusalem family tomb, and produce the recently crucified cadaver. This claim is as old as the bribe the council paid the Roman guard. Debunked by the New Testament record that was NEVER challenged. Too many saw the risen savior to hope for any credibility in claiming otherwise...and when Shavuot came and 5000 were added to the number of believers in one day, producing a counterfeit corpse would not have worked.
[/quote]Very few with the names, wife named Mary, James as a brother, etc.[/quote]Jesus had no wife...he was betrothed. We've already been there.
One day fulfillment doesn't satisfy the rest of one's life, or the obligation for others.
This is what you're missing: One day's fulfillment satisfies the requirement for a restored relationship. The rest flows from this and grows accordingly.
No different than what happened in Daniel's day and he was righteous. Paul is without an excuse.
You have a hard time forgiving Paul...but he needs no excuse. You, too, have stepped away from temple sacrifices and teach others to do so...but you use Daniel as your excuse. It's not a strong argument.
He taught abrogation. Romans and Galatians are clear on that.
You clearly do not understand what he taught. Romans and Galatians define fulfillment.
