Welcome to the Rainbow Covenant Foundation From mankind's very beginning, going back to our legendary common ancestors, every person of every nation lives connected to God. We all share in and we are all bound by a direct covenantal relationship with God Himself.
And God spoke unto Noah, and to Noah's children with him, saying: 'And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your descendants after you.' —Genesis 9:8-9
Some people call it the Noahide Covenant, after Noah. Others call it the Universal Covenant. We prefer Rainbow Covenant, because, as the Bible itself declares, God designated the rainbow to serve as its sign or symbol. But regardless of the label that one chooses to put on it, God requires all of us - every person, of every nation, race and creed - to live up to it. Through this great universal covenant God blesses all mankind with the gift of guiding, eternal, universal moral laws. Here is the path of the righteous, of wisdom, truth, and everlasting life. Here is the universal path to God.
Keep My commandments, and live; and My Law as the apple of your eye. —Proverbs 7:2

We have found that the new age doctrines it outlines are essential precepts of his rough Judaizing of the New Testament Gospel.
This religion represents a good picture of what numerologist zionism leads to in terms of dogmatics. It is a dangerous development based on the misperception of the place of the 'Covenant People' in scripture.
I believe that the people of God Almighty's covenant are all those who have trusted in Christ for salvation. Dr. Jones, and unfortunately many Christians believed this but also that modern Jews are not only saved, but that they pre-empt those saved through Christ as the primary covenant people.
The question that is raised by this obvious dilemma would be: Is salvation through Jewish Blood or through the Blood of Christ ?
Not according to Isa. 59:1-2.
I read an article the other day about a guy named Vendyl Jones who did archaeological work. They wanted to make a movie about him and he said okay, just don't use my real name. So, they began calling it (V)Endy(L) Jones and that evolved into "Indiana Jones." Don't know if this is the same guy or not.
(2) This is not a new age religion, but a form of Judaism.
(3) Historically, as we see in the New testament, there were gentiles like Jones who believed in Judaism without actually being Jews. These people were called God-fearers and they were a rich source of converts to Christianity in the NT.
(3) The argument that the covenant between God and Israel has been completely static since the destruction of the Second Temple was found in Darby/Scofield dispensationalism. Jones, like many converts to Noahide teaching, was a Darby/Scofield dispensationalist before he was a Noahide.
(4) Dispensationalism is a rejection of mainstream Christian orthodoxy, which is based on covenant theology, and not dispensational theology.
Oh, okay. I guess I fell for the lie.
Rainbows? I thought this was going to be about homosexuals.
Concepts like 'salvation' coming from 'blood' are not Jewish concepts.
Vendyl Jones is not a Christian, nor does he claim to be, although he tried to be earlier in his life. Most 'Noahides' go through long periods trying to reconcile traditional Judaism with the New Testament and Christianity before they admit it is impossible and have to choose.
And he is absolutely obsessed with finding the Mishkan - the Ark and its accoutrements.
"Concepts like 'salvation' coming from 'blood' are not Jewish concepts."
..and "Judaism" of today is not the israelite Covenant faith of the Children of Israel in our Old Testament.
Its a Pharisaic-Rabbinist pagan ideology based on salvation by works and inherently recist theologies.
I love all Jews through the blood of Christ and pray for the conversion of all false faiths.

A Russian Tzarist official once came to the saintly Rabbi Itzele of Volozhin and teasingly said, "You Jews say in your prayers 'All the nations will praise G-d for His kindliness done to us [Jews]'."
"Why," he then asked, "Should the nations praise G-d for the kindnesses that G-d does to the Jews?"
"Because," Rabbi Itzele responded, "You non-Jews know better than any Jew how many of you hate Jews in your own hearts, how many of you would deny to the Jews what is rightfully theirs. You in the government know how many plans for conversion, persecution and murder you have dreamt of that were so unsuccessful that no Jew ever heard of them. And you see better than any Jew how wonderously Jews thrive with the help of G-d despite your intentions."
'wideawake' has written well on the viscissitudes of this Rainbow Covenant Cult and 'hlmencken3' has here well expounded the subject of persecution, all of which must be succinctly condemned by Christians.
The Rainbow Covenant faith is indeed a flawed extension of Darbyist-Scofieldism and as such must be avoided by Christians. It also has no true kinship to Judaism but is intent on agitating and serving to aid in concert with Jewish Herodian Temple Restorationists, blasphemers all, who fail to recognise that the sacrifice ceased in Christ, see Daniel 9, Christ is our sacrifice once offered for the sins of the whole world ( a search of my 'in forum' page will reveal many extensive commentaries on this subject).
In taking the animal sacrifice of the Old Testament as atonement unto itself these persons, Jews, Rainbows and even some misguided Christians, totally miss the Gospel message of Christ's redemptive sacrifice of the cross.
That was Velvet Jones? Oh, nevermind.
