Denominations and Teachers
Upvote:0
How does the Catholic, Baptist and Pentecostal denominations justify the practice of following teachers given this in scripture?
The proposed contradiction does not apply to this passage of Heb 8 because it is yet future - a prophecy from Jeremiah 31:31- still unfulfilled.
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.
10For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people. 11No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.” Heb 8:8-
The House of Israel is not yet 'God's people'. They are still awaiting the veil to be lifted and their heart softened. 2Cor 3:14-15
I will be their God, and they will be My people
This is not true yet. True for God has decreed it, but not true for His people, chosen in Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For His people, it will be realised when the prophecy is completed and the kingdom established.
The context of Heb 8 is continuing the High Priest explanation. Jesus is not the HP of Israel - certainly not in their minds, they continue to reject him in this present age.
This future time there will be no denominations or contrary doctrine or different teachings of things not Biblical. There will be one truth and everyone will know it. Then they will not need teachers as you suggest. In this age the devil fills the air with his message of self, hate and lies. In the next age he will be banished (Rev 20:1) and there will be only one message - love, truth and grace and only one God.
