[No need to go on because a Testament is different from a Covenant, a Covenant doesn't require the death of anyone, a testament does.]

Of course there's no need to go on. I post proof after proof from dictionary after dictionary and you still insist your opinion is the correct one. There's no accounting for stubbornness. I've more than made my point so I'm not going to argue with you anymore since you just keep repeating the same things.

Really?

Can you show one definition that states that a covenant requires the death of the one making of the covenant?

You can't, because no convenant requires that.

But, as Heb.9:16 states, a Testament does.

So, stop blowing smoke and admit that you are wrong.

Heb.9:16-17 makes it very clear that the word cannot be covenant, (which is why even the NIV put in will and not covenant), it has to be Testament, since a covenant doesn't require the death of anyone to go into force- now does it or not!

What you keep posting has nothing to do with what the verse is saying.

No more than your lame attempt to wiggle out of Heb.8:11 which speaks of what will occur in the New Covenant, not as it develops.

Now, if you can find a dictionary that states a covenant doesn't go into effect unless the one making the covenant dies, produce it or admit that the Bible is speaking of two different things.

If not, just go back to the false theology.

I've told you, you win. All the experts and all the dictionaries are wrong. Only your opinion is correct.
