Without a standard of truth, how do you know WHAT comes from the mouth of God and what does NOT???
The WORD IS the standard of Truth, thy WORD IS TRUTH. And the Spirit ALWAYS confirms the Word, period. It may not confirm what YOU think it means, or even what I think it means, but He will, with heartfelt tenacious seeking, reveal it in due season, WHATEVER you ask Him about. Peace
31“Behold, days are coming,” declares the L[SIZE=1]ORD[/SIZE], “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the L[SIZE=1]ORD[/SIZE]. 33“But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the L[SIZE=1]ORD[/SIZE], “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34“They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the L[SIZE=1]ORD[/SIZE],’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the L[SIZE=1]ORD[/SIZE], “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
Well there you have it, except for the unskilled posting. Geez.
But fact is much of the Old Testament law died on the cross. As far as the 10 Commandments go Jesus reaffirmed Nine. The Sabbath keeping was dropped. Grace vs Law. The other 500 plus gone. Yes, God has written His simple and short list on the hearts of His people. Saved by grace and not by works.
Written on the hearts of Judah and Israel, right?...I mean, that is what it says, word for word....
So I quote it in my post and you are not that stupid. I guess you are asking what's new about it. The point of "New Commandment" is NOT that it has never been seen before as John explained. It is that it is THE commandment on which the New Covenant of Christ is based as opposed to the OLD commandments on which the Mosaic covenant is based.
1 John 2: 7Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. 8On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining. 9The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 10The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
This has been explained to you before, but you refuse to try to understand anything that indicates that Mosaic Law is not perfect in spite of the changes that have occurred to it over the centuries.
Why is it so hard to understand that teaching that the Law is FULFILLED in the PRINCIPLE taught by Jesus for His followers to guide by; that the Law is NOT the standard for judgement because Law can NOT compel the heart and what really matters IS the condition of the heart..is NOT teaching "against" the Law, but as Paul explained "upholding it?"
Rom 3: 31Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
So I quote it in my post and you are not that stupid.
So, you are stating that I AM stupid...Not just that much?...Right?...

Oh, so now it is JOHN who is meting out commandments?...Now, the brother here is a Christian brother, not an unbeliever, so, what's the difference between a Christian loving his Christian brother and a Jew loving his Jewish brother?...

If the Mosaic Law is not perfect, then G-d is not perfect...Is this what you are implying?...
So what? The OP asked about a prophecy that said the Law would be replaced. This does.
But, nothing states that the Torah would be replaced...
