LOL. Thank you. You mentioned it on Katzpur's Mormon thread. You asked her if she knew what it was. Do you remember? I want to know. I wish you will explain it any which way you will. Please and thank you.
Sure, I'll explain. First of all, I'm not at all an ideal Bible scholar. You are, as usual, on your own. I respect your Biblical training and attitude, by the way. It is also hard not to be flattered that someone asking me what I think, especially you. You are very rare. I'm
tempted to steal you and bind your will to mine
through arguments. That is how souls are bought and sold, and it doesn't matter how smart the person is or how correct. It doesn't matter that you are surprisingly knowledgeable about the Bible for a young person. If you gave me your ear, I could capture you. I wouldn't do that, however; and I hope you wouldn't give your ear to anyone. "The body is for the LORD and the LORD for the body." (I Corinthians 6:13) I'm going to explain abruptly without a lot of Bible verses what I meant by 'Doctrine of non intervention.' You are going to probably disagree with me; but that is good. You don't belong to me.
First, recall that Jeremiah chapter 31 is massively important for all who follow Jesus teachings in the slightest. Matthew's gospel refers us to Jeremiah 34 with his allusion "A voice is heard in Ramah, Rachel weeping for her children." Paul refers to Jeremiah 31:31 when he is talking about a new covenant. Jeremiah 31 is central for Christians. It is the place where our story connects with Judaism. If we are Christian, and if there is a new covenant then Jeremiah 31 applies to us including Jeremiah 31:34 "
No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD."
That verse, Jeremiah 31:34, is the centerpiece which I was calling the 'Doctrine of non intervention' for lack of another phrase, but there is so much more written about it. Its not just in Jeremiah. Its in everything Jesus does, and its constantly alluded to by NT authors. Its most clear in
James.
