Okay, we will call those under YOUR New Covenant - Hannibalism, NOT Christianity. The New Covenant instituted by Christ's scourging and Crucifixion is the Christian New Covenant.
Say whatever you want to say, the covenant speaks for itself, I DID NOT WRITE IT, IT IS NOT MY COVENANT.
You can twist and turn and do anything you like, and in the end of the day, the covenant says what it says, it isn't up for your opinion or your supposed translation in a desperate effort to try and make the covenant say something it does not say.
This isn't Hannibal against ANYONE, this is the covenant written for all to see, and there are no Gentiles in the covenant, there are no lawless in the covenant. There are no pagans in the covenant, and you can pretend it is lawless or whatever you want to invent, but it is there for all to see, and what it says is opposite of what you say.
Hanni, the only thing Jeremiah did was illustrate the crying need for a new covenant,not of laws, but of the heart. Jesus described and instituted a "New Covenant" not bound by Jeremiah's ideas. You are unableto see and appreciate a new paradigm because of your love for an admittedly fascinating if wrongheaded culture. The rest of us are not so distracted.

Matthew 5:19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Why are the commandment breakers and the commandment practicers in the same kingdom?
Matthew 11:11 I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Why is the least in the kingdom (Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same) greater than JTB?
Breaking one is bad, continuing to break them is a different issue.
Sinners make errors and if they change and repent all is well.
If they keep breaking Christ's commandments, with no repentance and change, then they will be cast out.

WELL! Didn't you ask a great question!!?
