But many of the followers of Jesus do say that he cancelled our Covenant with G-d - or replaced it, which is the same thing, especially since G-d didn't say that. If you say that Jesus supports and expands G-d's covenant with us, then why doesn't Jesus say, or Christians practice, to observe our Covenant, in its entirety, and then if you want to add, then add? Or otherwise, if you choose not to observe it, but to do other things, then just admit that you have composed something changed, new and different and "other"?

Shoshanna



Harold,

The only obstacles here are the misinterpretation of the Scriptures which led to erroneous conclusions. You know Hashem changes not (Mal. 3:6). He gave One Covenant which is eternal. The covenants with Noah, Avraham, Moses do not alter Hashem's plan. Looking at it in a linear (rather than cyclical) fashion creates this problem. The Avrahamic covenant did not nullify the Noahide any more than Y'shua's nullified the previous ones. It built upon them. The Renewed Covenant contains all prior ones from Adam to David except it was an upgrade; made full of meaning by Y'shua as the Pesach Lamb of Eloah rather than the blood of goats and bulls. It was both a renewal and new (in the sense that Y'shua was the superlative sacrifice). Y'shua supports and expands the prior covenants, He did not cancel them.

Regards,
David Fenton
