Arguments for One Covenant
I read Brian's 4 August letter.
I have come to the belief that there is and has always been only one covenant.
I believe what confuses people- the mass of all who claim Christianity is they
are confused because of the Exodus. The covenant before that and after were
meant for all mankind under a theocracy, but man messed up. We have to live
with that. Jesus had his culture and we have ours, but that doesn't change
God's character of which the begotten son is 100% in harmony with- that character
is found in the sermon on the mount and from every word Jesus spoke and taught-(The
10 commandments expressed.)
I have written several times that the 3 million had been slaves and under Egyptian
pagan influence for 400 years. Again, Tuff love was needed as with the flood,
etc.
God never changes (he has altered, but not the royal law of love) and Jesus
worked and gave His life to get us re-connected.
The royal law is not to be changed by man, and most of Christendom has accepted
changes by man and call it the 'new covenant'. When one TRULY accepts the 1st
commandment, they will see God's way in the other nine.
Many just don't know; but we are all learning; those that truly seek truth.
