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 ?

every person of every nation lives connected to God.

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.

(1) Vendyl Jones is not a Christian and he does not claim to be one.

(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.

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.
