Oh yeah, the New Covenant. The one God made with Believing Israel and Judah that birthed the Church...

Jeremiah 31:31 "The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah."

You are also undoubtedly aware that we gentiles were grafted into God's New Covenant with Israel and Judah by God's grace...

Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as** I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:... 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

So now that we have that settled, why are you arguing? What if God allows His word to be outlawed like in Soviet Russia, Red China, and all the Islamic World? What if God allows our evil leaders to declare the Bible "Hate Speech"?

Jan, you seem to be aware of the New Covenant, but I’m not sure you understand that the New Covenant is the gospel of the grace of Christ (Gal. 1:6) whereby God says, “I remember their sins and iniquities no more” (Heb. 8:12, 10:17), so that now God is busy RECONCILING the world to himself (2 Cor 5:18-20).

We’re starting to around and around a bit. You keep ignoring half of what I’m saying to you. Try again...

Your replies ignore the thrust of the gospel of grace which because of the perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross for the WHOLE WORLD (1 John 2:2), God is busy bringing people to himself. Nowhere under the New Covenant in the New Testament can you find God saying he will take his word away from sinners. He says JUST THE OPPOSITE as previously cited.
