So who has authority to cancel Sinai?
The target state is evidentiary clarity: a fair Christian formulation, a controlled reading of “So who has authority to cancel Sinai?”, an explicit concession, and a narrow verdict.
What this article established
Christianity often says Sinai was not cancelled but fulfilled, surpassed, or made obsolete. Torah’s question is prior: who received authority to turn an explicitly binding covenant into a temporary stage?
- Verified: Torah forbids unauthorized addition and subtraction.
- Verified: Deuteronomy anticipates Israel returning to commandments after exile.
- Verified: Jeremiah’s new covenant internalizes Torah in Israel and Judah.
- Christian claim: Hebrews authoritatively explains that the Mosaic covenant is obsolete in Christ.
- Unproven from Torah/Jeremiah alone: who granted a later text authority to convert Sinai from enduring covenant law into a superseded administration.
- Who had jurisdiction to change its status?
The question that still remains
Beyond “So who has authority to cancel Sinai?”, can the larger claim be established across Better covenant, priesthood, covenant and atonement tested inside Torah rules while Jeremiah 31, Torah’s priesthood and atonement rules, the named covenant partners remains controlling?
Why this book is the next step
Preserve the strongest concession first; only then test the inference built on it. Sinai / Jeremiah / 31 / Hebrews: the problem has moved from one Jeremiah 31 ruling into the exact scope of THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS VS. THE HEBREW BIBLE. The concession survives; the extra inference keeps its own burden. Distinguish the promised outcome before later application is admitted.
If the wider question after “So who has authority to cancel Sinai?” is genuinely What happens to the larger case when Better covenant, priesthood, covenant and atonement tested inside Torah rules is tested instead of inferred from this single result?, the next destination is THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS VS. THE HEBREW BIBLE, because its scope is Better covenant, priesthood, covenant and atonement tested inside Torah rules.
