I happen to believe that God intends to fulfill the promises both in the OT & NT.

As do I.

I don’t think that makes me foolish.

What is foolish is reading one set of promises in isolation from the rest of the promises, and the explanation of the real meaning of those promises.

Some folks, for example, read Genesis 17 as if the New Testament didn’t exist or was irrelevant. That was not the approach of the apostles who interpreted the promises in the new covenant context, once for all time.

Reading the Bible “dispensationally” is foolishness.

Well then, how about giving us your "reading" of Jeremiah 31, 32 and 33. Do you believe God is speaking of the "church" here or of Israel?
