Still trying to fully understand CT, so bear with me.
- If Christ is the mediator of the NC, who is the mediator of the covenants before the NC (ie Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, etc.)? If there is one CoG, than is Christ the mediator of all previous covenants? Or are Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David the mediators of their respective covenants?
- If Christ is the fulfillment of the promised seed of Abraham, then is the "seed" aspect of the CoG (Abrahamic Covenant) thus fulfilled? i.e. if he has fulfilled that promise than why would children of believers still be included in the NC?
- If the NC is in Christ's blood (Luke 22) and we believe in a particular and effectual atonement, than wouldn't the NC be, as reformed baptist's suggest, "unbreakable" and include the elect only? I am familiar with the "warning" texts in the NT, this is partly why I am asking.
Thanks for bearing with me ladies and gents, trying to work this all out in my mind!
