Just because they are not the same does not mean that they need to CONTRADICT one another.We should expect the New Covenant to contradict the Old Covenant, otherwise they're just the same and there's no reason to call them something different.
Make a CASE for that idea (that we should expect a contradiction between Israel's two covenants).
No, those two words are NOT the same. That is a FALSE claim.But "contradict" here is just the same as "amend."
Duh. What amazing insight!There are many things which remain the same in the New Covenant, and there are many things which are different.
One thing that remains the same is the TWO parties of the covenant: the LORD and Israel.
Jer 31:31-34 (AKJV/PCE)
(31:31) ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: (31:32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: (31:33) But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (31:34) And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
