Ummmmmm.... What?

So I have been saying on this site for years that the Covenant made with Abraham, Issac, Jacob/ISRAEL is THE SAME ONE ratified by the Messiah... IT;s all over every post of mine on this topic...
You Did Not even try to read my post. The NEW COVENANT, is NOT the same as the OLD COVENANT.

Old Covenant is Between GOD and ISRAEL, his Chosen People.

New Covenant is between GOD and His Chosen Children.

Not even Close to the same.

This expression can be applied to the First Covenant and the Last Covenant:


Matthew 20:16 (CSBBible)
16 "So the last will be first, and the first last."


Hebrews 8:6 (ASV)
6 But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.

Hebrews 12:24 (CSBBible)
24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which says better things than the blood of Abel.

►HELPS Word-studies 2537 kainós – properly, new in quality (innovation), fresh in development or opportunity – because "not found exactly like this before."

It is new in quality, if it were NEW outright "neos" would have been used:
HELPS Word-studies - #G3501 néos – new ("new on the scene"); recently revealed or "what was not there before" (TDNT), including what is recently discovered.

We are all in different places, I have studies this for years...

and, if you were to accept what Luke said as truth, as the early Church fathers did, that would mean you can't blame the separation of the O.T. and N.T. on the catholics
2 Facts:

1. Marcion was the one who introduces this, does not by that make it wrong however His reason for it were wrong.

2. All the prophecies in the "OT" are not YET fulfilled, they will be but have not yet been fulfilled... Thus some of it is still future, hard to be "old" when it is still future... Also Psalm 89 and 105 show it;s an eternal Covenant ratified in the Messiah's blood...

you do know that the " jewish writings" were not added to what we call the Bible until many years later, after the 66 books of the Cannon were gathered .
There are many diffferent Jewsish groups that accepted and denied differnt books. Who accepts and denies what is of really no consequence, interesting for sure and worth studying, but this does not prove or disprove anything. At one time the "apocrphal" books were included... The first 36 chapters of 1 Enoch are rejected by most....

IMO what matters is apply the Scriptural test of a prophet, in Deuteronomy and Yahshua... If that test is passed, it;s inspired... All translations do not match the manuscripts, even divergent ones... does not mean all or none, must be diligently searched....

but, this is how propaganda works- one has to make an enemy, and blame everything on that enemy.
Like what you do when you call me "Hebrew Roots" and "Seventh day Adventist" to de-humanize me and make me guilty of their errors?

I am not a catholic, and not a fan of theirs, but they did not make up the Trinity, Scripture proves it.

and, as far as the Trinity having nothing to do with salvation by Christ, well, neither does the Sabbath.
Well the only trinity verses is one of the most well know forgeries:

Proper and original text from the 1st century:

1 John/Yahanan 5:7-8, "For there are three which testify: The Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are of one accord."

Altered text from the 4th century:

1 John/Yahanan 5:7-8, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."

1 John 5:7-8, “Because there are three who bear witness: the Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in agreement."

‘Comma Johanneum’ or ‘the Heavenly Witnesses’ refers to a short clause in John 5:7-8 in the Latin Vulgate text which was transmitted since the Early Middle Ages. It was later included in the Textus Receptus (published in 1516) in support of trinity doctrine. The ‘comma’ does not appear in the older Greek text. The comma first appeared in the Vulgate manuscripts of the 9th century. The first Greek (Textus Receptus) manuscript that contains the comma dates from the 15th century. The comma is absent from the Ethiopiac, Aramaic, Syriac, Slavic, Armenian, Georgian, and Arabic translations of the Greek New Testament. The scholarly consensus is that that passage is a Latin corruption that entered the Greek manuscript tradition in some subsequent copies. As the ‘comma’ does not appear in the manuscript tradition of other languages.

Clarke's Commentary

1 John 5:7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one

There are three that bear record - The Father, who bears testimony to his Son; the Word or Λογος, Logos, who bears testimony to the Father; and the Holy Ghost, which bears testimony to the Father and the Son. And these three are one in essence, and agree in the one testimony, that Jesus came to die for, and give life to, the world.

But it is likely this verse is not genuine. It is wanting in every MS. of this epistle written before the invention of printing, one excepted, the Codex Montfortii, in Trinity College, Dublin: the others which omit this verse amount to one hundred and twelve.

It is wanting in both the Syriac, all the Arabic, Ethiopic, the Coptic, Sahidic, Armenian, Slavonian, etc., in a word, in all the ancient versions but the Vulgate; and even of this version many of the most ancient and correct MSS. have it not. It is wanting also in all the ancient Greek fathers; and in most even of the Latin.

Walk trough the valley
SO Paul was spiritualy resting while physically laboring and will be phsically resting when entering the kingdom of YHWH?

Can you point to a Scripture that says the rest in Messiah is now, while we are in the flesh and not after our bodies are dead as Rev 14:13 says?

here the "kainos" is "metatithemi" the "neos" is "metathesis"

Hebrews 7:11-12, “Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed (#G3331), there is made of necessity a change (#G3346) also of the law.”

Notice it is the same word in English “change” but in the Greek they are 2 different words?

“For the priesthood being changed (#G3331), there is made of necessity a change (#G3346) also of the law.”

If we only look at the English it is easy to misunderstand what the writer of Hebrews is seeking to tell us. Lets take a deeper look at the difference between these words:

“For the priesthood being changed (#G3331)”

“changed” is word #G3331 μετάθεσις metathesis (me-ta'-the-sis) n., transposition, i.e. transferral (to heaven), disestablishment (of a law). [from G3346], KJV: change, removing, translation, Root(s): G3346

Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
#G3331 μετάθεσις metathesis; 1) transfer: from one place to another 2) to change 2a) of things instituted or established

As in the priesthood on earth, the Levite priesthood has been abolished, and the Priesthood in the heavens, carried out by Yahshua is established. This “change” or “metathesis” is a removal of one that is replaced by another.

“there is made of necessity a change (#G3346) also of the law.”

Thayer's (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
From G3346; transposition, that is, transferral (to heaven), disestablishment (of a law):—change, removing, translation.

“change” is word #G3346 μετατίθημι metatithemi (me-ta-tiy'-thee-miy) v., 1. to transfer., 2. (literally) to transport., 3. (by implication) to exchange., 4. (reflexively) to change sides. [from G3326 and G5087], KJV: carry over, change, remove, translate, turn, Root(s): G3326, G5087

Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
#G3346 μετατίθημι metatithemi; 1) to transpose (two things, one of which is put in place of the other) 1a) to transfer 1b) to change 1c) to transfer one's self or suffer one's self to be transferred 1c1) to go or pass over 1c2) to fall away or desert from one person or thing to another

Thayer's (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
#G3346 μετατίθημι metatithemi; From G3326 and G5087; to transfer, that is, (literally) transport, (by implication) exchange, (reflexively) change sides, or (figuratively) pervert:—carry over, change, remove, translate, turn.

So I went back and read both, I dont see how I was supposed to get that from the first on, your second post makes you stance clear...

SO the Covenant in Hebrews 10:

Hebrews 10:16, "“This is the covenant that I shall make with them after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I shall write them.”

You dont see this as the Covenant spoken of in Jeremiah 31?

Jeremiah 31:33, "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israyl: After those days, says YHWH: I will put My Law (Torah/Instructions) in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and I will be their Strength, and they will be My people."

For this Covenant is the same one made with Abraham, it goes FROM Abraham TO Israyl:

Psalms 105:6-10, “O seed of Aḇraham His servant, Children of Ya‛aqoḇ, His chosen ones! He is יהוה our Strength; His right-rulings are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, The Word He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant He made with Abraham, And His oath to Yitsḥaq, And established it to Ya‛aqoḇ for a law, To Yisra’yl – an everlasting covenant.”

,,,thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...
John 14:23-24, “יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. And the Word which you hear is not Mine but of the Father Who sent Me.”

John 12:25-26, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who loves his life shall lose it, and he who hates his life in this world shall preserve it for everlasting life." Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”

Not that any might say that we are not sacrificial people in regards but rather most i think agree that the lamb of God in the matter is now offered and as in every year before the priest examined the grain and afore time determined the time to come the next year.

But the Lamb that is offered is offered and not to be offered again in our Lord. As in years past after the days the tabernacles were picked up and as the requirements were met all returned home until the determined time in the year to follow. shall we all pick up our tents now and go knowing that in an long process the sacrifices made are fulfilled by that last final sacrifice in our Lord complete and no more left to be done next year? where are the sons of issachar who were given to discern the times and who knew the thing Israel should do?

NOT EVEN CLOSE. You Do Know that NEW COVENANT and NEW TESTAMENT are the VERY SAME THING, don't you?

Israel has always been genuine Believers of ISRAEL until MESSIAH was Crucified. Then comes a NEW COVENANT with the Church and any JEWS that come to BELIEVE in JESUS as their LORD and Messiah, during the Church-Age, become part of the Church; then comes the RAPTURE, and we are off to attend the Wedding of the LAMB in HEAVEN. CHRIST will give me my Immortal Glorified Body at the Rapture, as we are CALLED OUT to go to the WEDDING or the LAMB, and at the end of the Tribulation Period we will come Back with HIM, and will be on white horses with the Armies of Heaven, and HE WILL TAKE BACK THE EARTH FROM THE DEVIL AND HIS FORCES. AFTER we are removed from Earth, then comes the 70th Week of Daniel, HIS SECOND COMING, and HIS 1000 Year Reign on the Throne of DAVID in Jerusalem. ALL the MORTALS of Earth have to attend Festival of BOOTHS every year in JERUSALEM and will be worshiping the KING OF ISRAEL, {see Zecariah 14}. I am at PEACE with GOD about that understanding, and no about of rebuttals will ever get me to doubt that TRUTH. If you want to believe something else, that is between you and GOD.

You do know that the Assembly HE has built, will BE HIS BRIDE, Before HE actually COMES BACK TO EARTH at the Second Coming don't you? I thing the New City Jerusalem in Heaven will be our home. And how do we get back and forth from out duties hear on earth, and our home in heaven? Maybe that is why Jacob had a dream about a ladder going all the way to heaven?

Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me. I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Elohim, And Your Torah is within my heart.”

I agree with nearly everything you said here, I have no clue what this has to do with tou conversation, but praiseYah for His wirks. The only disagreements I have are:

Covenant and testament are not the same word and have different meanings,

I differentiate between neos/new in time and kainos/new in quality,

I want to add that yes, most of this and mostly the important things I beleive we agree on, praise and glory to Yah!

I dont believe a "church age" I believe there are those who are Yah;s people and those who are not, I don;t believe in a Israel is not the chose now the "church" is, also I perfer the word ecclesia/kahal, it's an origins thigns.

I believe in a post-trib pre-wrath "calling up" to be with the Messiah at His return.

As much as i agree with this..what does it all have to do with the OP? Im lost...:(
Yes I can understand. What you do not know, is Shamah and three or four others, think we HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW, then we are Saved. We are SAVE FIRST, at the moment we genuinely BELIEVE and Trust the LORD. Then the Holy Spirit pours GOD's LOVE into our hearts, Rom 5:5, and that love in us, products the fruit of Loving Obedience. It isn't WE HAVE TO KEEP, it is We want to Keep HIS commands out of LOVE FOR HIM. No we are not Perfect at it, but that is why 1 John 1:9 was written. Part of our New Nature as a Born Again Christian is wanting to show our LOVE for Him by obeying HIM, and that includes Confessing each new sin we discover it in ourselves.

Yes, we get off subject once in a while, but we come back to the original subject very shortly. Enjoy, it keeps the freshness in the debate, and we have a very lively and ongoing discussion.

1 Samuel 12:24, “Only fear יהוה, and you shall serve Him in truth with all your heart, for consider what marvels He has done for you.”

1 John 4:19, “We love Him because He first loved us.”

1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."

Exodus 20:6, “But showing love to thousands who love Me by keeping My Laws.”

John/Yahanan 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

He puts His Laws in our hearts by His SPirit:

Hebrews 10:16, "“This is the covenant that I shall make with them after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I shall write them.”

Man is your theological terminology WAY CONFUSING. Post-Trib and Pre-Wrath are the exact opposite where I come from.

What Church or Denomination do you come from ? ? ?

Here is proof that you are wrong about Testament and Covenant being the Same Thing.

1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."

Exodus 20:6, “But showing love to thousands who love Me by keeping My Laws.”

John/Yahanan 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

He puts His Laws in our hearts by His SPirit:

Hebrews 10:16, "“This is the covenant that I shall make with them after those days, says יהוה, giving My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I shall write them.”

I apologize, I must be thinking of some one else.

Thank you for correcting me, and clarifying that.

Amen and the law had two purposes under the sun...

a. Condemn the world and all men as guilty
b. Point to the only cure-->JESUS

No man keeps it, has kept it, will keep it except JESUS. Break one of the least of the commandments = guilty of the whole.

When one sees his guilt, acknowledges Christ by faith and has the blood and righteousness of Christ applied and imputed by faith, the law has worked it's purpose and that person has been born again spiritually from above by the Spirit and with incorruptible seed. They are no longer bound under and or guilty by the law.

The righteousness of Christ has been imputed without the works/deeds of the law........we have been set FREE fro the bondage of sin and guilt of the law.

The law is for the LAWLESS<---the LOST.....NOT SAVED born again believers.....................

CHRIST is the end of the LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS<----this statement speaks VOLUMES!

BLAH BLAH BLAH more working for pseudo salvation.....My bible teaches salvation is a present CURRENT possession.....

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy HAS HE SAVED US <--PAST TENSE

YES..JESUS did become SIN for us....<--Only a deceiver would reject this truth as well....

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

JESUS was BORN of a WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW and “was CURSED” when he hung on a TREE....<--Only deceivers would reject the word of God which states as much....

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us-- for it is written, "CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE "

FOLKS any and all who deny the above truths have proven they are not of GOD....DO NOT BELIEVE POST 59510..HE DENIES these truths and supplants them with HALF truths and deceit just like the garden when the serpent removed and then added his own words to the bible.......

THIS IS A CLEAR DECLARATION BY DCON THAT JESUS WAS “CURSED”.


WHO CURSED JESUS AND WHY?


I DECLARE THAT OUR LORD JESUS IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, PURE, HOLY AND UNDEFILED. HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AND THE WORD THAT BECAME FLESH.


SINCE WHEN HAS THE GOSPEL CHANGED? WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT JESUS “WAS CURSED”?



... THAT IF YOU CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH “JESUS IS LORD” …...AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. (rom 10:9)


John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.


1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,


God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is THE SAME yesterday and today and forever.(heb 13:5-8)


John 6:63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.


Isaiah 5:20-24 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for THEY HAVE REJECTED THE LAW OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY and SPURNED THE WORD OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.


WOE TO THOSE WHO CALL JESUS “CURSED".


YOU HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT FOR THE FF;

I

  1. FOR REJECTING THE LAW OF THE LORD ALMIGHTY
  2. FOR HAVING SPURNED THE WORD OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
  3. FOR CALLING JESUS “CURSED".

1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.


Matthew 12:36-37 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

As much as i agree with this..what does it all have to do with the OP? Im lost...:(
Shamah, is not the one who believes you must Keep the Law then you are Saved. I must have confused him with someone else. I apologized to him.
