Jeremiah 31:31-33

So Jeremiah gives everyone blanket authority to claim that the Spirit is within them? I don't see Jeremiah saying that someday, man could declare God's previously Laws null and void.

Ezekiel doesn't mention anything about Sola Scriptura. Or doing away with the Written Word of God.

All of your verses, especially 2 Cor 3, could be argued that we don't NEED WRITTEN Scriptures! Are you sure you want to go that far?

I still don't see anything about a small group of men given the power to do away with a Law in the Torah as clear as day - that ALL males are to be circumcised to enter into the People of God. All you have given me is that God would establish a New People who would have the Law written in their hearts. This doesn't do away with or abrogate circumcision, this means that the New People will be given the power to OBEY this Law previously given!

Regards

Circumcision of the flesh has been replaced with circumcision of the heart. No man "did away" with it. God did away with it. It is the mark of the Old Covenant, no longer in effect.

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

Heb 8:10

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Heb 10:29

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Heb 12:24

And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
