Your statement above fails Christianity 101, as interpreted below by the author of the Book of Hebrews, and by the Son of God Himself on the road to Emmaus.
Heb 8:6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
Heb 8:8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING, SAYS THE LORD, WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH—
Heb 8:9 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 DID NOT CONTINUE IN MY COVENANT, AND I DISREGARDED THEM, SAYS THE LORD.
Heb 8:10 FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR MIND AND WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.
Heb 8:11 NONE OF THEM SHALL TEACH HIS NEIGHBOR, AND NONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL SHALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST OF THEM TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.
Heb 8:12 FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."
Heb 8:13 In that He says, "A NEW COVENANT," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Jesus Christ cannot be disconnected from any New Covenant passage anymore than He can be disconnected from our salvation.

Your remark that which I wrote, that you quoted, fails Christianity 101 is nothing but a meaningless fiment o your imagination. Prove it! The following are Scriptures that call Jesu, the Branch:
Bible verses about Jesus Christ as the Branch
Isaiah 11:1
Several generations pass before
God decrees the direction of Jesus' lineage: "There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots" (
Isaiah 11:1). Jesse lived at least eight generations after Judah during the days of the prophet Samuel. He and his family had lived in the town of Bethlehem in the territory of Judah for several generations—at least since the time of Boaz (
Ruth 2:4). Matthew 1 and Luke 3 both mention Jesse in their genealogies.
In
Romans 15:12, Paul connects Jesus descending from Jesse to the hope of the Gentiles: "And again, Isaiah [11:10] says: 'There shall be a root of Jesse; and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope.'" Jesse's female ancestors include three Gentiles—Tamar (Genesis 38), Rahab (Joshua 2;
Matthew 1:5), and Ruth (
Ruth 4:13-22)—who are also Jesus the Messiah's ancestors. As Paul says,
Jesus Christ became a servant "that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy" (
Romans 15:9).
Jeremiah 23:5-6
These scriptures focus on the Branch as
King, descending from David, making righteous judgments, ruling, and causing peace and security. Thus
Revelation 19:16 calls Him, "
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
Jeremiah 23:5
Jesse had at least eight sons (
II Samuel 16:10-11), the youngest of which was David.
God chose the line of this young shepherd boy to reign over Israel and ultimately to produce the
King of kings: "'Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, 'that I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; a King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth'" (
Jeremiah 23:5; see
Isaiah 9:6-7).
Both of
Jesus' human parents were of the line of David (
Matthew 1:1, 6;
Luke 3:31), and it was well known during His ministry that Jesus was a "son of David" (
Matthew 9:27;
15:22;
21:9; etc.). Before His conception, Gabriel tells Mary, "The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David" (
Luke 1:32). Paul reminds Timothy of what this means to Christians: "Jesus, the seed of David, was raised from the dead. . . . This is a faithful saying: 'For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him'" (
II Timothy 2:8, 11-12).
John 15:1-8
Christ came to this earth as THE BRANCH and fulfilled all righteousness, qualifying to replace Satan and rule as King over
all the earth. He proved His worthiness by remaining in full accord with His heavenly Father, and bearing the spiritual fruit that makes redemption and salvation possible.
Likewise, we - whether natural or grafted in (
Romans 11:17-24) - are also branches attached to the solid trunk of the tree, Christ. It is only by our abiding in Him - our attachment to Him - our close relationship with Him - that we produce any growth or godly works. As Paul writes in
Romans 11:16, "If the root is holy, so are the branches." Our righteousness, works, and holiness come to us only because of our connection to Him.
Jesus says that
God, in love, prunes us, chastens us, tries us, so that we become more profitable (see also
Hebrews 12:3-11). He will do what He must to make us yield. But if we resist and eventually sever our connection with Him, we are fit only to be burned. God has no use for dead wood.
God wants us to use this connection to His Son to "bear much fruit," just as
Jesus Christ did. Doing so proves to Him, to ourselves, and to everyone else that we are true Christians, disciples of His Son, the Branch. By this, we will glorify God and secure our place in His Kingdom.
