  • Ben weaver on Hebrews 9:15 - 12 years ago
    V.15 Today's common usage of the phrases "Old & New Testament has strayed from the Bibles usage. Their true definitions are "A will or disposition, an arrangment of God with mankind," rather than the two sections of the Bible. The new testament or (covenant), is alluded to throughout the whole book, and specifically in Jere. 31:31-34. The new testament was not in effect until the death of the mediator as we see in Heb. 9:16-17. The old testament was given through Moses and was binding until the crucifiction of Jesus on the cross, ( Rom. 7:4-6.) The new testament is said to be written in the hearts of believers, rather than on stone or with ink, referring to the sacred writings of the Bile ( 2 Cor. 3:3). However the written word is precious as a reference and guide, lest someone hear a word from the deciever. Since both old and new testament references are found throughout the Bible, it may be confusing to assume Gen. to be old testament, and Matthew thru John to be the new. Jesus taught people who were still under the law of moses until after his resurrection.
