This represents my whole opposition to religious man. This statement can not be confirmed by scripture, it is man's teaching, no offence to the Brethren.
Matt. 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Not just the NT.
The New Covenant is a promise from the Word which became Flesh. This New Covenant is the Change of the Priesthood, not a change of God's Instructions for man. As it is written.
Heb. 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, ( The Priests who gave people God's Instructions) he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb. 7:If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
The New Covenant is the "CHANGE" of the Priesthood, Not the "good, Just, and Perfect Instructions of the Word which became Flesh.
Heb. 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
What changed?
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Look at Jer. 31 and show me if you can how the Word which became Flesh changed anything other than the Priesthood?
Two things were changed.
#1. How God's Laws are administered. No more Levite Priests to filter the Word, we have direct access to the Word through Jesus, and He writes God's Instructions on the hearts of the repentant.
#2. The manner in which sin is forgiven. No more Levitical Priesthood sacrificial, ceremonial "Works of the Law" for remission of sins. Jesus, the Word which became Flesh Himself, with His own Blood, forgives us our sins through faith in Him.
The preaching that the New Covenant is more than that is a deception.
If we believe in the Word which became Flesh, we will believe His New Covenant. Not the teaching of man. The New Testament is our example of the Old Testament teaching put into practice. Jesus is the perfect example of how we should walk, and what instructions we should "WALK IN. We need look no further. He is the Author and finisher of my Faith.
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
This is why it is written;
"He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."
He didn't live in opposition to the instructions He gave to man as the Word. He did partake in the New Covenant though, as He forgave sins without the Blood of one goat, or one Ceremony as described in the Old Priesthood, the Old Covenant..
