Christianity's 'New Covenant' doesn't fit the corresponding prophecy.

The New Covenant is declared in Jeremiah 31:27-40. According to Christianity, it was fulfilled entirely by Jesus.

There are a couple of problems with this assertion.

• According to Jeremiah 31:30, the righteous don’t die on behalf of the wicked.
• Jeremiah 31:34 describes how educating others about God and evangelizing will no longer be necessary.

Therefore, the following things suggest very strongly that Christianity is not a fulfillment of this covenant:

• Christianity insists that righteous Jesus died on behalf of sinners which violates Jer 31:30.
• The “Great Commission” prescribes evangelizing that will not be necessary in the new covenant according to Jer 31:34.
• The existence of Sunday School suggests teaching about God is still deemed necessary, thus missing what is also described in Jer 31:34.
• Though the “old covenant” was indeed declared broken in Jeremiah 31:32, there is no mention of a replacement of God’s laws. A covenant is an agreement. There is no hint that “my law” declared in Jer 31:33 is a replacement law. It suggests only the same law with a more effective deployment.

(Side note: Even greater problems are found when comparing with the earliest disclosure of the new covenant.)
