“One of the doctrinal errors I warn our church about is found in the New Hampshire Baptist Confession of 1833. It says, ‘We believe that the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired…’ According to 2 Timothy 3:16, God inspired the ‘graphe’ or Scriptures, not the men.” - P&D

When we examine the clear New Covenant passage in Jeremiah 31:31ff, we see that verses 31 and 32 name Israel and Judah as parties. We see also that it concerns the future (“the days are coming”), and that the NC will supersede in some way the Sinai Covenant.

“Tom Holland’s Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World is a substantial work that makes a straightforward case. In Holland’s view, the teachings of Jesus constituted an ethical revolution that would gradually transform human consciousness, to the extent that we today find it hard to imagine credible alternative systems.” - Christianity Today
