In an earlier post, you claimed that the words, “new testament”, in Heb 9:15 (KJB) refers to the collection of 27 canonical books, Matthew to Revelation, known as the New Testament. So, according to you, in the following verse …
“Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you” (Luke 22:20, KJB) …
the canonical 27 books from Matthew to Revelation are in the “cup” Jesus is holding.
This begs a few questions:
How did Jesus manage to stuff every page of the NT into one cup?
Where did Jesus get hold of a copy of the New Testament at that point in time? The NT wasn’t written until decades later.
Jesus told the apostles to “drink” the contents of the cup - how can anyone “drink” pages of paper?
I’m relying on you to provide answers to these baffling questions, because only a genius like you can.
Heb 9:15
[
15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
It is abundantly obvious you are struggling with the understanding of what a testament is. So start with the basics:
A Testament IS:
"something" that serves as a sign or evidence of a specified fact, event, or quality, will.
From the beginning God has notified His CREATED man-kind of thing OF...
His Facts, His WILL.
How the man-kind of thing has RECEIVED Gods Facts has been "through"...
Word, Speech, Specific Signs, Visions...
and in the LAST DAYS (OF the man-KIND of thing),
Heb 1:2
[
2] Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
You should have learned:
1) Gods Son is Jesus.
2) Gods Son is the Voice of God.
3) Gods Son came forth OUT from God.
4) God Prepared A BODY for His Word.
5) The Prepared BODY was Revealed TO and SEEN by the man-Kind of thing...IN The "LIKENESS" as the man-Kind of thing.
The Word of God...is called by Numerous "Things":
Word, Son of God, JESUS, Lord, God, Teacher, Rabbi, Holy One, Savior, Redeemer, Judge, Spirit, Quickening Spirit, Truth, Life, Way, Annointed, Advocate, Righteous, Without Sin,
Almighty, Power, Wisdom, Power, Christ, Chief, Cornerstone, Rock, King, Lamb, Deliverer, I Am, Faithful, True, High Priest, Head, Alpha, Omega, Lord of lords, King of kings, Lord of All, Lion, Author, Perfector, Bread of Life, Good, Shepherd, etc. etc. etc.
You Should have LEARNED these thing FROM Hearing it Told To You...
OR, If those things Be WRITTEN, and you can read, And you have the writings avalible TO you, By You Reading those Things.
A TESTAMONY "need NOT" Be WITTEN for it TO BE a Testament!
A TESTAMENT...merely NEEDS TO BE REVEALED... by Word, signs, speech, etc.
Heb 9:15
IS Specifically Revealing (he)...Christ/ Heb 9:11...IS the
MEDIATOR of ... WHAT?
the NEW TESTAMENT ...
So you can add to the LIST... Christ is Called ...Mediator....and Mediator of WHAT?
The entire NEW TESTAMENT!
So WHAT IS "THE"
source of this "SPECIFIC" TESTESTAMENT?
God...who has REVEALED, HIS Word, Out of His Mouth, manifested in the LIKENESS as man-KIND of thing...To Reveal TO manKind of things....(through hearing AND SIGHT)..Gods WILL.
Heb 9:
[
15] And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
If you DO NOT comprehend Heb 9: 15 is Revealing, the Word of God Is Specifically the Mediator of the New Testament...and What a Testament is, ... and the source of this specific Testament, and WHO Specific Is the Mediator OF this Specific Testament...
I can NOT understand IT...for you.
It certainly has nothing to do with shoving PAPER in a cup and trying to Drink PAPER!
Glory to God,
Taken
