ARE CHRISTIANS UNDER THE NEW COVENANT YET?

Behold the days are coming says the L-rd when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the House of Judah. Jer 31:30-31 quot in Heb 8:8-12, 10:16 Christians claim that this is proof that the old covenant will be abolished for the new one.

Answer for yourself: Did Jesus ever intend to teach this doctrine that Christians hold sacred?

Verse 33 says "I will put my Torah within them". It does not say new Torah, it is the same Torah put it will become a permanent part and will not be forgotten as in the past

It says in verse 34 "No longer will they need to teach one another . . .for all of them, from the least to them to the greatest, shall heed Me, declares the L-rd".

Answer for yourself: If the Christians have to go out into the world to tell people about God is this not proof that this prophecy of a "new" covenant has not occurred yet?

Here are some verse which show that the covenant of God will never end nor be replaced with another

• Ecc 13:14 "Whatever God decrees shall be forever; nothing shall be added to it nothing shall be taken away."
• Is 40:18" The word of the L-rd shall stand firm forever"
• Num 19:21 "and it shall be law for all time"
• Num 15:14 ". . .There shall be one law for you and for the Ger-Convert, it shall be a law for all time throughout the ages."
• Ex 31:16 "The Israelites people shall keep the Shabbat, observing the Shabbat throughout the ages as a covenant for all time."
• Dt 4:2 "Every word which the I command you. You shall observe and do Thou shalt not add unto it nor diminish it"
• Ps 119…read the whole Psalm
• Dt 4:40 "Observe His laws and commandments, which I enjoin upon you this day, that it may go well with you and your children after you and you may live in the land that the L-rd your God is assigning to you for all time."
• Num 15:23 "All that the L-rd commanded you by the hand of Moses from the day that the L-rd gave commandments and onward throughout your generations."
• Ex 12:17 "And you shall observe the commandment of Unleavened bread . . .you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an ordinance forever."
• Is 49:14 " But Zion says, The L-rd has forsaken me, and my L-rd has forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, even they may forget, but I will not forget you"

Jesus did not preach the abolishment of the Torah…. this is a later idea by Paul.

• Act 15:5 "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the laws of Moses."
• Jam 2:10 "For whoever Keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it."
• Lk 6:17 "Even if heavens and earth shall pass: the word of Moses and the other prophets shall not pass"
• Matt 5:19" Whoever breaks one of the least of the commandment and teaches men so shall be called the least in the Kingdom."
• Matt 19:16-17 "There is no one good but One, that is God: But if you desire to enter in life, Keep the commandments"
• Matt 23:1-3 "Scribes and Pharisees sit on Moses's seat; So practice and observe whatever they tell you . . . "

Answer for yourself: So, do you now think that you are under something “new” which gives you the right to put aside such Laws and Commandments of God which require believers to keep the Sabbath on Saturday, to observe and keep the 7 Biblical Festivals, to practice tithing correctly where the church does not get the money, but the poor, sick, lame, blind, widows, and orphans get 1/3, yourself 1/3 to keep and celebrate the Biblical Festivals and Sabbaths, and the righteous teacher-Levite who gets the other 1/3 for teaching the truth of God’s Word amidst so many lies about it?

The bottom line is this. As a typical Christian today you have done what you were told by those you respected. But basically, because of a lack of years of study, you lack the tools necessary to approach the document called the “New” Testament and see its deviations from the Law, Prophets, and Writings…such writings which God said would stand forever. Request my article on New or Re-Newed Covenant…..and learn that Jeremiah and Jesus only spoke of a re-newed Covenant….not a replace covenant……the knowledge of the truth will set you free….Shalom.
