In whom is the New Covenant fulfilled? [Several suggestions] have been given (one's decision on this question will be determined by the interpretation of Luke 22:20 (Mt. 26:28; Mark 14:24); 1 Cor. 11:25; 2 Cor. 3:6; Hebrews 8:6-13; 9:15; 10:15; 10:19ff.). 1. The New Covenant was given exclusively for ethnic Israel and will therefore be fulfilled only in her at the end of the age when Israel as a nation is saved. The Church has no part in the blessings of this covenant. 2. There are two New Covenants, one for ethnic Israel and one for the Church. 3. There is only one New Covenant, for Israel, in which the Church shares spiritually. I.e., those blessings in the covenant which pertain to salvation are equally enjoyed by the Church, but those that pertain to earthly prominence in the land belong solely to Israel. 4. There is only one New Covenant. The Church, being the historical continuation of the believing remnant within Israel, is the recipient of its blessings. Thus, both believing Jews and believing Gentiles, the latter of whom have been graciously included in the covenants of promise (Eph. 2:12), together and equally enjoy the fulfillment of all aspects of the New Covenant. According to this view, there is a biblical expectation of a mass salvation among the Jewish people who will then be incorporated into the Church, the body of Christ. 5. There is only one New Covenant, of which the Church, which has replaced Israel in the purposes of God, is the recipient. This is commonly referred to as Replacement Theology. According to this view, there is no biblical expectation of a mass salvation among the Jewish people. 6. here are two covenants, one for the Jewish people and one for those (whether Jew or Gentile) who embrace Jesus as Messiah. The latter comprise the Church. The former are Jews who need not believe that Jesus is the Messiah but who relate savingly to God via Judaism.

Now that I've been trying to fall back on the wagon again I recently took a
look in the fatfree archives for the cocoa/chocolate granola recipe I'd
posted here some years ago. I found my apricot granola one but not the
chocolate, so I tried what I *thought* I'd probably done before, it worked
out fine, and I'm posting it here.
If, like me, you have big cravings for something sweet, chocolate and
crunchy, I think you'll find this simple recipe very worth making, because
when you're crunching it up in your mouth it's like eating a chocolate
cookie.
The amount of salt is just on the edge of noticeable, and I think it adds
to the effect by suggesting the kind of slightly-salty taste you get from
having buttered a baking pan (or the kind of taste you get with
chocolate-covered peanuts). So if you either shouldn't have or don't care
for salt, you will probably want to use less.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees:
Dump oats, cocoa and salt into a big bowl, and mix until the oats are
evenly coated. Add honey and vanilla and work this mixture with your
*hands* until it's all evenly mixed/ coated.
Spread it all out on a large cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, taking
it out every five minutes to stir it around.
If you live in a humid climate like I do, you'll want to put it in an
airtight container shortly after taking it out of the oven, so it stays
very crunchy.
When I made this the other day I also put in 1/2 tsp of coconut extract ...
almond extract would probably also be good. Posted to fatfree digest V97
