You are twisting the word!

There is no “new covenant.”

There is only the renewed covenant as Jeremiah prophesied.

The “new” is the old prefected in Yeshua’s blood.

It is only with the House of Judah and the House of Israel. There is no church mentioned anywhere in the scriptures.

None of the references you posted agrees with your assertion.

You can continue to deny the clear plain meaning of Scripture all you want.

I did not “twist” anything.

All I did was post the Scripture, there was no *interpretation* involved at all.

If you don’t like it, your issue is with God and the Holy Spirit who inspired it.

The Truth is not in you ... but you appear filled with Rood. Now you bold refute Jesus, for it is HE Who said He establishes a new covenant in HIS BLOOD.

Michael Rood has poisoned you mind, ES.

Perhaps no one has enumerated the new covenant for you? ... well, here goes:

The end of Jewish authority and responsibility to proclaim God's love and righteousness was about to be fulfilled with the death of Jesus upon the Cross. Jesus instituted HIS New Covenant the night before His crucifixion. The New Covenant was not based upon comprehending the righteousness of Holy God (if you could live up to the full commandments you would be living righteousness as godly nature), it was to be the proclamation of God's Grace toward us who cannot meet His righteousness standard.

The Grace of God has always been God's plan A. He has no plan B. IF someone strove to live by the commandments of the law, God measured that sincerety so He could impart His Grace. His Grace in the New Covenant is not achieved by striving to do the works of the law, and His Grace never came to an unregenerate soul by doing the works of the law, that's why the sacrifices wwere used, to 'carry away from the camp the sins of the people' as a foretaste of what Jesus would do for us on the Cross. In doing the ritual, they were doing what Abraham did, they were believing God. BUT ...

The law was a school master, to cause one to seek the mercy of God because the law could not be lived to the righteousness standard God requires to enter into His Holy Presence. SO ...

God sent Jesus in the likeness of sinful flesh (but having no sin). AND ...

The righteousness standard is imparted to those who believe Jesus is The Christ and that God has sent Him to be our Savior, rescuing us from our sinful state. THIS is the Grace of God in Christ. No man or woman will be in Heaven except they are born from above by 'faithing' (action word) in Jesus as Lord and Savior. That is the new covenant Jesus instituted on the night before the Cross. During this New Covenant, the simple act of human will, to believe God has sent Jesus for our rescue from our sinful flesh nature activates The Grace of God in Christ ro each believer. BECAUSE ...

We do the same thing which imparted righteousness to Abraham ... we believe God. Abraham lived before the law was given. We live after the law was fulfilled in Jesus. THUS ...

When Jesus fulfilled the law, there was then need for a new covenant, based on the simplest of acts of human will, to believe God sent Jesus for our Salvation. No works of the law needed, since Jesus fulfilled those. The New Covenant was sealed by the blood of Christ, righteous blood which was sprinkled on the Mercy Seat fulfilling the law of righteousness we cannot live to, in the totality God requires. So by God's Grace in Christ, this righteousness is imparted to us when we believe, simply believe and let Him renew us thereafter. Of course, some will not let Him do it. They will have their 'works' thereafter burned away at the Bema Seat in Heaven.

It is written, 'Many are called but few are chosen.' So to be chosen we must let Him do it, save us. For it is also written: 'Faithful is He that calleth you, for HE will also do it'.
