What is the "new covenant"? What happens to the old? Was it wrong?
The term of the New Covenant (Hebrew: ברי×a ×—×"×c×”, Hadasha Berit (Help · info) Greek καινή διαθήκη, diatheke kaine) is used in the Bible (both in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament in Greek) of refer to a relationship in an era of restoration and peace after a period of trial and sentence. Like all covenants between God and man described in the Bible, it is "a blood sovereignly administered by God." [2]
The only reference to the Hebrew Bible which uses the term "new covenant" Jeremiah 31:31-34 [3], but there are many other passages that speak of the relationship of time without using this exact wording. Some passages speak of a "covenant of peace", others use other structures, some simply say "alliance", but in context it is clearly the New Covenant in question, and some use metaphorical descriptions, like "Mount Zion", referring to the new covenant. The key text here in question is quoted in full in Hebrews 8:8-12 [4] in the New Testament, with an interpretation in the text that surrounds it. The full quote, with partial quotations from the same text in other parts of the New Testament reflects the fact that the authors of the New Testament and Christian leaders in general, consider Jeremiah 31:31-34 to be a center of the prophecy of the Old Testament of the New Covenant. Here the key text:
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers in the day [ that] I took his hand to bring them out of Egypt, my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this [is] the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law within them, and write it in their heart, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they teach no more than his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD, for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. "Jeremiah 31:31-34
In 1988, the New JPS version of Jeremiah 31:34 is as follows:
"No longer will they need to teach each other and say," Obey the Lord, "for each of at least one of them to the greatest, I do not care-oracle Yahweh. ...

the law is not bad, Jesus has fulfilled
"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. "(2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV)
The old man has to be a servant of God.
God does not want what he wants Sons & Daughters.
This is what he becomes.
You enter the New Covenant in receiving the Spirit of God (evidenced by speaking in tongues).
Acts 2:4, 33, 39, Gal.4: 6 John 3:8.
The former was a system of law and doctrines
between Jehovah God and Israel.
He was a schoolmaster "to learn what God is holy
standards and prepare the way for Jesus.
The New Covenant is a system established by
between God (Jesus) and all peoples of the world
Covenant is a word synonymous with "Testament", they mean the same thing.
So when you read your Old Testament thats the old covenant, and when you read the New Testament is the new.
The differences are subtle in terms of the law, like getting angry now as bad as murder. Looking at a woman lustfully is now considered an adulterer, a.
