Good post brother sparrow! I think we may agree in deed. Many mix up God's eternal law (10 Commandments) which where a part of the OLD COVENANT which is the standard of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS in both the OLD and NEW COVENANT with the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 which hold the SHADOW laws of the OLD COVENANT pointing to JESUS and God's plan of salvation in the NEW. These are fulfilled in the NEW COVENANT. This means no more animal sacrifices and sin offerings, no more earthly Sanctuary and Priesthood which all pointed to JESUS and to the Heavenly Sanctuary and JESUS as our great high priest and perfect sacrifice for sin. These were all SHADOWS that the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 pointed to in the NEW. The NEW COVENANT is all of this and God's LAW that was written on stone to the fleshly tables of the heart to love as we walk in the Spirit through faith in God's promises *HEBREWS 8:10-12; ROMANS 13:8-10; GALATIANS 5:16.

Thanks for sharing brother, nice to see someone reading God's WORD.

God bless.
Ex 24:7 is a reference to Israel only.

Hebrews 8 says no such thing. It does say "not according to..." just like Jeremiah said.

Romans 13 isn't a requirement to keep the law. It does say what fulfills the law.

Gal 5:16 has zero to do with the law.

Brother if you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the new covenant. *HEBREWS 8:10-12. Gentiles are now grafted in ROMANS 11:13-27

Hebrews 8 says no such thing. It does say "not according to..." just like Jeremiah said.

You miss the point. The "not accroding to" is in reference to the "NEW COVENANT". The NEW COVENANT is not the OLD COVENANT and the NEW (no more SHADOW laws from the MOASAIC BOOK of the COVENANT (animal sacrifices and sin offerings, a change of the Priesthood and Christs ministration on our behalf in the NEW). The NEW COVENANT is to who? ISRAEL! God's WORD in the NEW COVENANT are all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD (the Church). If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the new covenant. *HEBREWS 8:10-12. Gentiles are now grafted in ROMANS 11:13-27

Romans 13 isn't a requirement to keep the law. It does say what fulfills the law.

Sorry brother God's WORD disagrees with you. Love is the fulfilling (doing and establishing) of God's LAW. Love is demonstrated in OBEDIENCE to God's LAW not in breaking it *JOHN 14:15: 1 JOHN 2:3-4

ROMANS 13:8-10
[8], Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. [9], For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [10], Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

links to what Paul says here.

ROMANS 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, we establish the law.

God's LAW is established and fulfilled by faith that works by LOVE. God's WORD says that those who KNOWINGLY break God's LAW are lying and do not know God.

1 JOHN 2:3-4
[3], And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4], He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

links to what JAMES says here...

JAMES 2:18-20; 26
[18], Yes, a man may say, You have faith, and I have works: show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
[19], You believe that there is one God; you do well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
[20], But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Gal 5:16 has zero to do with the law.

GALATIANS 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

The lusts (desires) of the flesh σάρξ; sarx, means is the carnal mind and sinful human nature. It is ONLY by abiding in Christ and walking in his Spirit by faith that works by LOVE that God's LAW is fulfilled in all those who believe and follow God's WORD. This has everything to do with establishing and fulfilling God's LAW in God's people.

Hope this helps.

What in your post shows something I don't understand about the Old Testament or covenant?

Then why say GENESIS is not a part of the OLD COVENANT and why did you not present earlier that the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT is also a part of the OLD COVENANT and not only God's eternal law (10 Commandments)?

Where does any verse require the keeping of the law for salvation?


The whole Bible requires the keeping of the Law; salvation is assumed, not a result of keeping the Law. The whole Bible is about the setting up of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom is a system of government complete with the Law of God. Keeping the law is not a means of salvation, it is what saved people do. Keeping the Sabbath is a sign that the Covenant is entered into which requires an interaction with God; the Law can be kept without God but there is no salvation in it.

The question you should be asking is where does the Bible say that the commandments are no longer required or that the terms of the New Covenant are different to the old. Is the kingdom of God of the Old Covenant different to the Kingdom of God of the New covenant; was Jesus the promised King of the Old Covenant; did He say to the Old covenant people, "Repent (make the way straight), the Kingdom of God is near".

Here's a full quote from Hebrews 8: -

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

You're free to show this isn't the famous 10, if you can.

Romans 11 doesn't say graft into Israel.
Sorry brother God's WORD disagrees with you. Love is the fulfilling (doing and establishing) of God's LAW. Love is demonstrated in OBEDIENCE to God's LAW not in breaking it *JOHN 14:15: 1 JOHN 2:3-4
Identify these commandments in both your references.
ROMANS 13:8-10
[8], Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law. [9], For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Which says nothing about the sabbath. Sorry.

No sir, it doesn't. You mean we're obligated to the law with this verse. Paul says - "we are now delivered from the law..." That is a far cry from obligation to the law. Paul specifically quotes the 10th in the verse following the quote.
God's LAW is established and fulfilled by faith that works by LOVE. God's WORD says that those who KNOWINGLY break God's LAW are lying and do not know God.

1 JOHN 2:3-4

Verse 18 tells us we're not under the law if we are led by the Spirit.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

What is called the Old Covenant isn't mentioned in the book of Genesis. Nothing in that book is called the covenant by Moses in Deuteronomy.

Sorry but I'm a New Covenant Christian. The Old Covenant has nothing to do with Christianity.

I asked you to identify those commandments. I didn't ask you to badger me with the famous 10, unless you're claiming the "my commandments" of Jn 14:15 are the famous 10. If so plainly say that.

I did through the Word of God.

I am sorry that I have to concede you are right; most Christians are Pagan, gentiles in the flesh.

No you didn't. The law was added until Jesus came. See Gal 3:19. This means the law was for a specific limited engagement. Luke says the law was. John is interesting on this point.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

I take this to mean Jesus didn't give the famous 10 as you claim.

No as I've already posted to you on this.

Not really brother you just posted you did not believe the scripture provided to you that show God's ISRAEL are all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD. Gentiles are now grafted in to God's ISRAEL *ROMANS 11:13-27. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the new covenant *HEBREWS 8:10-12. Gentiles are now grafted in *ROMANS 11:13-27

Here's a full quote from Hebrews 8: - Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; You're free to show this isn't the famous 10, if you can.

Sure no problem happy to share God's WORD. The OLD COVENANT was made up of God's 10 Commandments *DEUTERONOMY 4:13 and the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7. God's 10 Commandments were spoken *EXODUS 20:1-19 and written by GOD alone *EXODUS 32:16 and the book of the Covenant was written *DEUTERONOMY 31:24 and spoken by MOSES *EXODUS 24:4-7 alone (under God's guidence).

TOGETHER both God's eternal law (10 commadments) written on stone and the MOSAIC BOOK of the Covenant are the OLD COVENANT. They were both SEPARATED and housed in the ARK OF THE COVENANT. God's LAW was placed inside the ARK of the COVENANT *DEUTERONOMY 10:5 while the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT was placed in the side of the ARK of the COVENANT *DEUTERONOMY 31:26

DEUTERONOMY 10:5 [5] And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.

Yep there is the 10 Commandments housed in the ARK of the COVENANT.

DEUTERONOMY 31:26 [26] Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.

EXODUS 24:7 [7] And he took the BOOK OF THE COVENANT, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD has said will we do, and be obedient.

So in summary here it is both the God's eternal law (10 Commandments) that give us the KNOWLEDGE of sin and the shadow laws from the MOSIAC BOOK of the Covenant that made up the OLD COVENANT.

The NEW COVENANT is not like the OLD COVENANT. We no longer do animal sacrifices and the shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 that pointed to JESUS and God's plan of salvation in the NEW are fulfilled in Christ and his mimistration as our great sacrifice and high Priest who ministers on our behalf in the Heavenly Sanctuary made without hande.

You mix up the shadow laws from that MOSAIC book of the covenant *EXODUS 24:7 brother with God's eternal law that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172 that show us we are all sinners and lead us to Christ that we might be forgiven by faith *GALATIANS 3:22-25 to be free from our sins to walk in his Spirit *GALATIANS 5:16.

SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4) Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

The NEW COVENANT is not the same as the OLD COVENANT *HEBREWS 8:10-12, we no longer need to follow the Shadow LAWS from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT that all pointed to JESUS and God's plan of salvation in the NEW COVENANT.

Back to HEBREWS 8. The NEW COVENANT is not like the OLD COVENANT brother all the Shadow laws from the MOAIC BOOK that pointed to JESUS and God's plan of salvation in the NEW COVENANT are fulfilled in the NEW. The OLD has passed away. No more animal sacrifices and sin offerings, new Prieshood with JESUS as our great sacrifice and Great high priest ministering on our behalf in the heavenly sanctuary made without hands.

God's LAW written on stone leads us to Christ that we might be forgiven by Faith and free to walk in his Spirit *GALATIANS 3:22-25; GALATIANS 5:16; ROMANS 8:1-4. Faith the works by LOVE fulfills the NEW COVENANT promise of HEBREWS 8:10-12 of God's LAW written on the heart through LOVE *ROMANS 13:8-10.

Yep the OLD COVENANT is not like the NEW *HEBREWS 8:8-9. No more shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 24:7 pointing to JESUS and God's plan of salvation in the NEW COVENANT.

Romans 11 doesn't say graft into Israel.

No it says that Gentiles are grafted in among God's ISRAEL and are a part of God's ISRAEL.

ROMANS 11:17, And if some of the branches be broken off [UNBELIEVING ISRAEL], and you [GENTILES], being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them [BELIEVING ISRAEL], and with them [BELIEVING ISRAEL] partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree.

Who were the branches that were broken off?

[18], Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bore not the root, but the root you. [19], You will say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. [20], Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: [21], For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you.

[23], And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
[24], For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

Who are the natural branches brother that were broken off because of their UNBELIEF in God's WORD that can be grafted back in through BELIEVING God's WORD?

[25], For I would not, brothers, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.

ROMANS 11 is talking about being grafted into CHRIST the ROOT among the other branches [BELIEVING ISRAEL]. GOD'S ISRAEL ARE the BRANCHES. SOME where broken off because of their UNBELIEF.

Identify these commandments in both your references.

No problem.

JOHN 14:15 IF YOU LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS

links to..

MATTHEW 22:36-40
[36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[37], Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
[38], This is the first and great commandment.
[39], And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself.
[40], ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.

CONCLUSION: IF we LOVE GOD we will keep his Commandments because on the two great commandments of LOVE hang all the law and the prophets. *EXODUS 20:1-17

.............

1 JOHN 2:3-4
[3], And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4], He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

The context here is SIN...

1 JOHN 2:1-2
[1], My little children, these things write I to you, that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
[2], And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

So the meaning of 1 JOHN 2:3-4 is determined by the context which is that we SIN NOT. So to determine what commandments 1 JOHN 2:3-4 is talking about we need to determine know what sin is which is the CONTEXT.

WHAT IS SIN?

JAMES 2:8-12
[8], If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:
[9], But if ye have respect to persons, YOU COMMIT SIN, AND ARE CONVINCED OF THE LAW AS TRANSGRESSORS.
[10], For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
[11] For he that said, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, said also, DO NOT KILL. Now if thou commit NO ADULTERY, yet if thou KILL, YOU ARE BECOME A TRANSGRESSOR OF GOD'S LAW

Yep, James is pretty clear if we brake ANY of God's Law (10 commandments) then we are a TRANSGRESSOR of God's LAW and commit SIN. James quotes two of the 10 Commandments saying that if we break them we commit sin v9 that are summed up in the 2nd great commandments of LOVE to God and LOVE to our neighbour in v11. Maybe you missed that one?

ROMANS 7:7 [7], What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I HAD NOT KNOWN SIN, BUT BY THE LAW: for I had not known lust, EXCEPT THE LAW HAD SAID YOU SHALL NOT COVET.

Well here we have Paul in agreement with James and John also telling us that he did not know what sin was without God's 10 Commandments. SIN is breaking God's commandments and Paul uses the 10th commandment as an example of breaking any of God's LAW (10 commandments) = SIN (Exodus 20:17)

links to...

1 JOHN 3:4 [4] Whosoever commits SIN transgresses also the law: for SIN is the transgression of the law.

John is saying the same thing as James and Paul and states that if we TRANSGRESS God's LAW then we commit SIN because SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD'S LAW. So it is very clear that SIN is breaking ANY of God's LAW (10 commandments). We will look at the chapter context John uses v15 of MURDER as an example of sin which is God's 6th Command of the 10.

Sin is indeed defined in God's WORD as breaking any of the 10 Commandments in both the OLD and NEW TESTAMENT scriptures.

CONCLUSION; SO if the CONTEXT of 1 JOHN 2:3-4 is SIN and SIN is breaking any one of God's 10 commandments than the commandment that 1 JOHN 2:3-4 is referring to is God's eternal LAW, the 10 commandments that give us a KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is.

Which says nothing about the sabbath. Sorry.

Actually God's 10 Commandments have everything to do with the SABBATH as God's 4th Commandment is to REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY to keep it HOLY.

No sir, it doesn't. You mean we're obligated to the law with this verse. Paul says - "we are now delivered from the law..." That is a far cry from obligation to the law. Paul specifically quotes the 10th in the verse following the quote.

Sorry brother it does not say that at all unless you believe Paul is contradicting himself. You do not believe that do you brother?

ROMANS 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, we establish the law. Romans 7:7 is showing the purpose of God's law is to give us a knowledge of sin.

Has nothing to do with the law.

Actually it has everything to do with God's LAW. JAMES 2:8-11 is quoting God's 10 Commandments.

Verse 18 tells us we're not under the law if we are led by the Spirit. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Indeed all those who have faith are not under the condemnation of God's LAW once we have been forgiven thorugh faith to walk in God's Spirit *ROMANS 8:1-4; ROMANS 3:19-20. None have God's Spirit however while knowingly breaking any of God's commandments *ACTS 2:38.

This is only sent with all respect and love brother. It seems God's WORD disagrees with you.

May God help you as you seek him through his Word.

This is already answered in the post above. Please see the post above this one for a detailed reply.

Your mixing up the shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 20:8-11 with God's eternal law that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172.

Not really brother you just posted you did not believe the scripture provided to you that show God's ISRAEL are all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD. Gentiles are now grafted in to God's ISRAEL *ROMANS 11:13-27. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the new covenant *HEBREWS 8:10-12. Gentiles are now grafted in *ROMANS 11:13-27
I've discussed Romans 11 with you by point.
You can say all you want that "in among" them really means into them.

You can say all you want that Jesus is Israel. Just doesn't make it so. You casn't say The Christian is graft into the Root, Jesus and also graft into the nation of Israel, spiritual or otherwise. This conflict proves you're wrong. It's also necessary to make others subject to the law which the same letter says we (including Israel - Jews) are delivered from. The reference is specifically the famous 10 as verse 7 in chapter 7 proves what law Paul is talking about.

This is already answered in the post above. Please see the post above this one for a detailed reply.

Your mixing up the shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT *EXODUS 20:8-11 with God's eternal law that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN and RIGHTEOUSNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172.
No, I mix nothing together. You ta;lk about the shadow laws and don't understand Jesus is our rest and by His invitation. The 7th day sabbath is a periodic physical rest. Genesis 2 doesn't point to anything remotely periodic.

I've discussed Romans 11 with you by point.

No you haven't brother you have simply ignored the scriptures that disagree with you. sorry brother God's WORD disagrees with you.

You can say all you want that "in among" them really means into them. You can say all you want that Jesus is Israel. Just doesn't make it so. You casn't say The Christian is graft into the Root, Jesus and also graft into the nation of Israel, spiritual or otherwise. This conflict proves you're wrong. It's also necessary to make others subject to the law which the same letter says we (including Israel - Jews) are delivered from. The reference is specifically the famous 10 as verse 7 in chapter 7 proves what law Paul is talking about.

No that is not what I am saying at all. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it disappear. We are not free from God's law in order to break it brother. God's WORD does not teach lawlessness *1 JOHN 2:3-4; MATTHEW 5:17-19; HEBREWS 10:26-27; ROMANS 6:23. Those who continue in known unrepentant sin will not enter into God's KINGDOM because they reject the gift of God's dear son *HEBREWS 10:26-27; ROMANS 6:23.

Now let's look at the scriptures in detail in regards to God's ISRAEL in the NEW COVENANT. This is outside of ROMANS 11:13-27 that we discussed earlier as I see you have difficulties with it. These are God's WORD not mine. You are free to believe as you wish after this and I will leave it between you and God as I have done all that I can to help you here. These scriptures below also show who ISRAEL is and the names origin from OLD to NEW. They also support what has been shared with you in ROMANS 11 but do not mention Romans 11. Please brother take the time to prayerfully consider the scriptures provided below. I believe they can be blessing to you as they show who ISRAEL is linking the OLD and NEW TESTAMENTS. The two great witnesses of God's WORD.

ORIGIN OF ISRAEL,THE TWLEVE TRIBES AND GOD'S PEOPLE IN THE NEW COVENANT

The promise of God was given to Abraham that his descendance would be as the sand of the sea or start of heaven *GENESIS 22:15-18. Jacob a descendant of Abraham being 2nd born received the birth right from Esau *GENESIS 25:31. God’s promise to Abraham was to be fulfilled through Abrahams descendant Jacob *GENESIS 32:11-12. Jacon on his way to meet Esau wrestles with God and God blesses him and changes his name to ISRAEL *GENESIS 32:24-28.

The name ISRAEL is only a name given by God himself to represent his people. The origin of the name "Israel" come from Genesis 32:28 where Jacob wrestled with the Angel and prevailed ...for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Its meaning is his posterity will rule as God. Jacob (now named ISRAEL) had 12 sons representing the 12 sons or tribes of Israel *GENESIS 35:22-26. From here we see that God's NEW COVENANT promise was to ABRAHAMS decendents who GOD calls ISRAEL *JEREMIAH 31:31-34 which is also repeated here as the NEW COVENANT promise *HEBREWS 8:7-12 to ISRAEL (God's people). So the NEW COVENANT promise is to ISRAEL.

Now let's look at the meaning of the name that God gave to his people. The name "ISRAEL" ישׂראל; yiśrâ'êl means; "HE WILL RULE WITH GOD" God gave this name to his people and it means that they shall rule with God. Take a look at the following scriptures from REVELATION speaking of God's people.

REVELATION 1:5-6
[5], And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, [6], And HAS MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS TO GOD AND HIS FATHER; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

and again...

REVELATION 5:10 And HAVE MADE US TO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS; AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH.

Peter speaking of God's people says it this way...

1 PETER 2:9-10
[9], But you [God's people] are a chosen generation, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD [KINGS AND PRIESTS], an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; [10], Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Sound familar? "ISRAEL" ישׂראל; yiśrâ'êl means; "HE WILL RULE WITH GOD" WHY?

JESUS is our great HIGH PRIEST ministering on our behalf in the HEVENLY SANCTUARY *HEBREWS 4:14. JESUS is the KING of KINGS *REVELATIONS 17:14; 19:16

HE WILL RULE WITH GOD WHICH IS THE MEANING OF "ISRAEL" is the name given to all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD because JESUS will make them to rule with him as PRIESTS and KINGS.

Notice further, also in REVELATION 7:3-8 just before the judgements of God are poured out on the world God's people are sealed with God's Spirit and 144,000 come out of the 12 tribes of ISRAEL

REVELATION 7:3-8 [3], Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. [4], And I heard the number of them who were sealed: and there were sealed a hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of ISRAEL. [5], Of the tribe of JUDAH were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of REUBEN were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of GAD were sealed twelve thousand. [6], Of the tribe of ASHER were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of MANESSAH were sealed twelve thousand. [7], Of the tribe of SIMEON were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of LEVI were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. [8], Of the tribe of ZEBULON were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of JOSEPH were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of BENJAMIN were sealed twelve thousand.

...............

CONCLUSION: The ORIGIN of ISRAEL is a name that GOD gave to Jacob and his descendence. The meaning of the name ISRAEL mean that God's people "WILL RULE WITH GOD". JESUS is GOD *JOHN 1:1-4; 14. KING OF KING *REVELATIONS 17:14; 19:16 and our GREAT HIGH PRIEST *HEBREWS 4:14. God's ISRAEL meaning God's people will be KINGS and PRIESTS ruling with God *REVELATION 1:5-6; REVELATION 5:10; 1 PETER 2:9-10. The NEW COVENANT promise is to God's ISRAEL. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the NEW COVENANT.

.............

WHO ARE GOD'S ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

There is no such thing as Jew or Greek anymore. All who believe and follow God's Word are one in Christ. Israel in the OLD COVENANT were those from the seed of Abraham. In the NEW COVENANT, if you are in Christ then you are Abrahams seed and heirs according to the promise *GALATIANS 3:28-29. The children of the FLESH are not ISRAEL those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW the promises of God's WORD are ISREAL *ROMANS 9:6-8. God's ISRAEL are all those in CHRIST that have been given BORN AGAIN to have a NEW HEART according to the NEW COVENANT promise *HEBREWS 8:7-12; ROMANS 2:28-29. Under the NEW COVENANT all those who are in CHRIST are God's ISRAEL *COLOSSIANS 3:11; ROMANS 10:11-13. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the NEW COVENANT *JEREMIAH 31:33-34; EZEKIEL 36:26-27; HEBREWS 8:7-12. Gentiles are now grafted in *ROMANS 11:13-27.

CONCLUSION: God's ISRAEL (Those who will RULE WITH GOD) are all those in CHRIST who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD (the Church). If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the NEW COVENANT promise. Gentiles are now grafted in *ROMANS 11:13-17. God's ISRAEL in the NEW COVENANT are God's people who BELIEVE and FOLLOW God's WORD (the Church).

If you disagree then why? Please feel free to respond to the scriptures here point by point as I do for your posts. Ignoring God's WORD does not make it dissappear.

Hope this helps.

Arr brother but you do indeed. If you do not understand what the OLD COVENANT was how can you understand what the OLD COVENANT pointed to in the NEW? None have God's rest while continuing in UNBELIEF and SIN (breaking God's commandments *JAMES 2:10-11; ROMANS 3:20; 1 JOHN 3:4) *HEBREWS 3:7-19; HEBREWS 4:6

The whole Bible requires the keeping of the Law; salvation is assumed, not a result of keeping the Law. The whole Bible is about the setting up of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom is a system of government complete with the Law of God. Keeping the law is not a means of salvation, it is what saved people do. Keeping the Sabbath is a sign that the Covenant is entered into which requires an interaction with God; the Law can be kept without God but there is no salvation in it.

The question you should be asking is where does the Bible say that the commandments are no longer required or that the terms of the New Covenant are different to the old. Is the kingdom of God of the Old Covenant different to the Kingdom of God of the New covenant; was Jesus the promised King of the Old Covenant; did He say to the Old covenant people, "Repent (make the way straight), the Kingdom of God is near".
You're confusing bible facts. The law came by Moses. So, keeping the law WAS given as a way to be righteous until Jesus died for sins.
