It can't be the same covenant because Deuteronomy 29:1 says it was made separately, or by itself, to the one made at Mt Sinai.
It was made at a separate time, but still to the same people group and contains the same content.
Matthew 23:37-38
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who have been sent to her!
How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under
her wings, and you were unwilling. Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!
Luke 21:20
But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near.
Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are inside the city must
leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; because these are days of punishment,
so that all things which have been written will be fulfilled.
Romans 11:20
Quite right, they (Israel) were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not
be conceited, but fear.
They do not understand the reason for our salvation belongs to Christ alone.
Romans 10:13
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
They reject the idea that Jesus grants salvation as a gift for believing in Him.
They can read that salvation is a gift but they just don't believe it.
Even AI understands the simple gospel but the Christian world does not.
Yet Jesus said the complete opposite...
Mat 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Obviously there is some discrepancies in our understanding and perhaps why we have this in Scripture 2Peter3:16
I agree that the Moab covenant expanded the Sinai covenant, but why don't you believe that it is a covenant that assimilates the former covenant into it?
Perhaps calling on the name of the Lord is different from calling Jesus Lord.
It incorporates the law of the first covenant, but it's not a modified first covenant because a covenant can't be modified or added to once it's ratified
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed (κυρόω), no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Galatians 3:15
G2964 κυρόω kuroo (kï-ro'-ō) v.to make authoritative, i.e. ratify.
Easy way to get to heaven huh, just say Lord. But live however we want.
Both verses said Lord.
Guess we shall see how that works out. The Bible tells us...only one group makes it in.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
Why do you all repeat this gross error? Who here has ever made such a claim? Yet, that is the consistent accusation of those who adhere to the law of Moses as did the Judaizers of Paul's day.
You happily condemn others with your blatant lie and congratulate each other. It's disgusting and completely unChristian.
So than its more than saying Lord? And what lie was I promoting? That's its more than saying Lord Lord? Its what Jesus said.
Sorry, if quoting what the Bible says who enters into His Kingdom is offensive. I don't know of anyone promoting the law of Moses.
You take alot of liberties from a singular statement. Perhaps if you don't comprehend what someone is saying you could ask some questions for clarification. Quite simply, there is a difference between calling on the name of the Lord and simply calling Jesus Lord. A simple Google search would fill you in.
So your saying that Paul was in error in saying.
Romans 10:13
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Because that disagrees with what Jesus said?
No, its taken out of context, its not just a one time thing of saying Lord, its calling on the Lord daily to guide ones life, putting away sin Rom 6:1-4, which is breaking the law of God and living for Him. When we do, we call on Him daily because He is the center of our lives. Its a lifestyle, not a word.
It's strongly implied. If corrupt men don't do it, why would God do it is the point
Agreed, for God to make a change, He would have to die all over again but His sacrifice was once and for all Heb10:10. No one can add or change His covenant without He dying all over again. Paul came after the death of Jesus, so everything Paul teaches must be reconciled with Christ.
