I’m sorry for the misrepresentation. I said best as a synonym to clearest.

You are inherently misunderstanding the nature of the sacrifice of Christ. Christ’s death and resurrection serve as an atonement for the sins of those who will receive Him. Christ didn’t come to eradicate all evil in His first coming, as that was never His intended goal.

You are right to think that I believe it’s plausible that God has chosen the medium of literature to communicate to us who He is. There is nothing ridiculous about saying such a thing.

The dichotomy of Old and New Testament is not meant to imply God changed His mind in any way. Rather it the Old Testament contains all the promises of the coming Messiah who will redeem people from sin, and the New Testament tells us of the Messiah who came and what it means to follow Him.

If you compare ancient rabbinical commentaries from before Christ, there is large agreement with what the New Testament says about the Messiah. There is agreement with pre-Christ Jewish understanding.

God never changed His mind. Throughout the Old Testament, from Genesis to Malachi, a Messiah was proclaimed who was coming to redeem the people. There is no change for God.

The Jews rejected Christianity because, as Paul says in the book of Romans using the Old Testament prophecies, they sought to be redeemed by their works, rather than faith. Paul tells us that God did this so that Gentiles along with Jews would be included in salvation.

To reiterate again, the Bible is not split into two “agreements” but rather in “pre-Messiah” and “post-Messiah”. Since Christ is the Messiah who fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies and laws, it is centred around Him.

Technically nothing “stops” God from making a third covenant in the afterlife. However, God has made it clear in His decrees that hell is eternal for those who go there. We can be certain that God does not go back on His word, so we know there is no third covenant. You create a false analogy to the Jews, because God told them that the Messiah was coming, not that revelation was finished. However, God specifically says throughout the Bible that hell is eternal.

I’ll read your article and we can discuss this justice/morality claim on there.
