Tehillim/Psalms 9:11 He hath sent redemption unto His people; He hath commanded His covenant for ever; Holy and awful is His name.
The Covenant of Sinai is Eternal
Daniel 9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,
1 Chronicles 16:12 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
י13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
י14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
16 [The covenant] which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;
17 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
Deuteronomy 4:2 Every matter which I command you observe to do it; you shall not add to it, or subtract from it" Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you.
Deut. 12:32 See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.
Proverbs 30: 5-6 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.
Deuteronomy 29:28. The hidden things belong to the Lord, our God, but the revealed things apply to us and to our children forever: that we must fulfill all the words of this Torah.
Isaiah 24:5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
We see that the N.T. advocates all three of these things; that people transgress the laws, change the ordinance and break the everlasting covenants.
1. Transgressing the Law:
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, ... (Gal 3:13)
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ....But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. (Gal 3:24-25)
But now we are delivered from the law, .... and not in the oldness of the letter. (Romans 7:6)
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. (Gal 5:18)
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.Heb 7:12
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, (Romans 4:13 -16)
2. Changing the Ordinances:
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; (Eph 2:15)
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, ... (Colos 2:14)
Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Colos 2:20)
3. Breaking the Everlasting Covenant, i.e. the Sabbath, the Brit Milah or the everlasting priesthood.
1. Sabbath -- as specified in:
Thus shall the children of Israel observe the Sabbath, to make the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. Between Me and the children of Israel, it is forever a sign that [in] six days The Lord created the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased and rested." (Exodus (Shemot) 31:16-17)
Each and every Sabbath day, he shall set it up before the Lord [to be there] continuously, from the children of Israel an eternal covenant. (Leviticus (Vayikra) 24:8)
And He set it up for Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant. (Chronicles I (Divrei Hayamim I) 16:17)
Does not Christianity repudiate G-d's commandments by establishing a "new" Sabbath on the first day; the so-called "Lord's Day" (see Acts 20:7 and Revelation 1:10). This clearly ignores God's command that the Sabbath is for the Jews, the Children of Israel, ONLY. The Sabbath is not for Gentiles!
2. Brit melah -- as specified in:
This is My covenant, which you shall observe between Me and between you and between your seed after you, that every male among you be circumcised. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be as the sign of a covenant between Me and between you. (Genesis 17:10-11)
Those born in the house and those purchased for money shall be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. And an uncircumcised male, who will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin-that soul will be cut off from its people; he has broken My covenant. (Genesis 17:13-14)
Does not Christianity now spit in the face of G-d, speaking against the very people He chose for His special mission?
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. (Galatians 5:2)
3. Everlasting priesthood -- as specified in:
It shall be for him and for his descendants after him [as] an eternal covenant of kehunah, because he was zealous for his God and atoned for the children of Israel. (Numbers 25:13)
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. (Hebrews 7:12 )
A final word of wisdom from the real Bible, the Hebrew Bible -- a prophetic warning from Jeremiah:
Yirmiyahu/Jeremiah 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Deuteronomy 34:10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face
If any person goes against what Moses taught, which he learned straight from the Almighty....then one certainly should not listen to him.
