6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me. Dicit ei Jesus : Ego sum via, et veritas, et vita. Nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me.
7 If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him. Si cognovissetis me, et Patrem meum utique cognovissetis : et amodo cognoscetis eum, et vidistis eum.
Acts 2
37 Now when they had heard these things, they had compunction in their heart, and said to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles: What shall we do, men and brethren? His autem auditis, compuncti sunt corde, et dixerunt ad Petrum, et ad reliquos Apostolos : Quid faciemus, viri fratres?
38 But Peter said to them: Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins: and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Petrus vero ad illos : Poenitentiam, inquit, agite, et baptizetur unusquisque vestrum in nomine Jesu Christi in remissionem peccatorum vestrorum : et accipietis donum Spiritus Sancti.

I'm sure you all have verses to add so fire away.
He’s right that, from a Jewish perspective, being a good person will be sufficient to earn salvation if you are not part of the Covenant.
He is actually saying that to protect gentiles from a much more difficult path.
However, without the Christ, even the Jews would be lost. No salvation through Christ means no salvation. It’s because of the Christ that Jews can keep the Covenant and experience salvation.
I like Ben, I just can’t take his staccato voice for very long.............
Ben, Yeshua HaMashiach is waiting for you with outstretched arms. Call upon his name and be saved now so you don’t have to be killed during the soon-coming Daniel’s 70th Week AKA the tribulation.
Off topic, but Mr. Shapiro pines for the unending immigration of the 3rd world into this country.
I guess my favorite thought on the matter is that many folks will be surprised by who they find next to them in Heaven.
The old Covenant no longer applies because Jesus is the new and everlasting Covenant.
I’m planning on hitting the lottery and taking my riches with me. True story.
In principle, my understanding is that God does not erase old covenants, but builds upon them.
The Noahic covenant is still in force, despite the Covenant made to Abraham and the Covenant of salvation.
I think the best way to look at it is that the Covenants will be fulfilled, because of God’s Son giving His life for us.
Mere trinkets
Read your bible again Covenants were broken because men broke them. This is why Jesus was sent. He is the new and everlasting Covenant, all others are void after him.
The Noahic Covenant was not made with man. God made a promise to man.
The Abrahamic Covenant also wasn’t made with man, but the promises from the Covenant were given to men.
God knew the failings of man, so God made these Covenants, but He shook his own hand in agreement. He’s always made it with Himself. That’s why we can be sure that those covenants are secure, because only God can break them. He won’t break them.
Genesis 15 NKJV
God’s Covenant with Abram
8 And he said, “Lord God, how shall I know that I will inherit it?”
9 So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. 11 And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. 14 And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. 15 Now as for you, you shall [d]go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age. 16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”
17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying:
“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— 19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
He’s a subversive c***, not a conservative.
He’s not to be taken seriously.
Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro would undoubtedly be near the top of the list.
Could have stopped reading right there. Hardly tops anyone’s list that I know.
“What is the meaning of life”.
Mongo.
do jews believe in heaven and hell?
“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— 19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
I love this verse, the only humans on earth that have a title deed to their land, given by the Creator Himself. All other buys and sells are games, you don’t own your land like Israel owns “from the River of Egypt to the River Euphrates”.
St. Pius X to Theodor Herzl, 1904
“We are unable to favor this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem – but could never sanction it. The ground of Jerusalem, if it were not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As head of the Church, I cannot answer you otherwise. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people. And so if you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will be ready with churches and priests to baptize all of you.”
But the Law of the old covenant still applies and for those who reject Jesus, that is the measure by which they will be judged.
