all the covenants belong to ISRAEL.
Biblical fact.
At the risk of puffing you up, I wish you would come post more often!
Ah! I thought he was talking to me!![]()
As believers in Messiah, we can appreciate the power of pray.
In this verse, what is the author really saying?
I think the Hebrew word for "hearing" in this verse is (shaw-mah'}, which implies not just hearing, but hearing and obeying.
My brothers and sisters in Messiah, what are your thoughts?
Except for the New Covenant.
It was the New Covenant for Israel, having set the Old Covenant aside, and it's the ONLY Covenant for Gentiles, who were foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world:
11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. (from Eph. 2)

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven:
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven.
you have no clue what I do or do not understand... when you lawless ones learn to stop rebelling against the clear and Holy commands our Creator gave us then maybe you will learn to stop accusing others of not understanding what you apparently do not.

Ummmm, ya got that backwards. It's Paul that brings the Law into clarity.
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to FreeNChrist again.
You are exactly right, FreeNChrist:
2 Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, 3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. 4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. 6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. (from Eph. 3)
25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness— 26 the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. 27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom,so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. 29 To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me. (from Col. 1)

your reasoning does not actually fit with scripture
first of all, there is only ONE penalty for ALL sin
that penalty is death
there are many different sacrifices for sins in the OT (for whichever sin was committed )
the sacrifices could never actually achieve forgiveness however as the blood of bulls and goats cannot atone for human sin
as the OT is clear on that, why don't you know that?
their is only ONE sacrifice that gives depredation and that is the sacrifice of Jesus
so, just to help you out here in your understanding, once again:
ALL sin results in death...separation from God...
NO animal sacrifice redeems mankind
ONE sacrifice redeems all mankind and is available by accepting Christ as YOUR substitute...something NO animal ever achieved
Right . . . the New Covenant was New for Israel, as promised, replacing the Old ("it will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers), and it's the ONLY covenant for Gentiles.
Your point?
