Afterword on the covenants
Following on from my post on Monday, one of my Cornhill Scotland friends helpfully pointed out a different way of looking at Hebrews 8 and that it does not necessarily teach discontinuty:
- in Heb 8.8 God says he finds fault with the people of the old covenant, not the covenant itself.
- in Heb 8.13 it is possible that the term "obsolete" refers to the regulations of 9.1-10 not that the nature of the covenant has fundamentally changed.
This, of course, would lead you to a fundamental position of continuity not discontinuity.
