The covenant made with Israel has been set aside as Jeremiah promised and Jesus confirmed as current. The covenant Jeremiah said was set aside is - And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
You are confused let's take a deeper look at the scriptures showing why? If you do not know what the OLD COVENANT is how can you understand what the NEW COVENANT is that the OLD COVENANT points to? Your problem as shown through ther scriptures is that you do not know what the OLD COVENANT is. You mix up God's eternal law that give us the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD AND EVIL; SIN and RIGHTOEUSNESS *
ROMANS 3:20;
ROMANS 7:7;
1 JOHN 3:4;
PSALMS 119:172 with the shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the Covenant *
EXODUS 24:7.
Here let's clarify what the OLD COVENANT is again one more time.
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.
More scriptures on God's eternal law and the Shadow laws from the MOSAIC BOOK of the COVENANT being the OLD COVENANT?
THE OLD COVENANT

yep its not just the 10 Commandments...
...............
HEBREWS 9:1 [1] Then verily THE FIRST COVENANT HAD ALSO ORDINANCES of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. [9] Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;[10] WHICH STOOD ONLY IN MEATS AND DRINKS, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.[12] NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
EPHESIANS 2:15 [15] 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;[16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby
EZEKIEL 46:14 [14] And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a MEAT OFFERING continually by a perpetual ORDINANCE unto the LORD.
NUMBERS 19:2 [2] This is the ORDINANCE OF THE LAW which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
HEBREWS 10:1 [1] For THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR continually make the comers thereunto perfect.[2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. [3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.[4] For IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS.
What laws are written on the heart in the NEW COVENANT promise? It is not the MOSAIC laws for remission of sin...
JEREMIAH 31:31-34 [31], Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:[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 ; MY COVENANT WHICH THEY BROKE, although I was a husband unto them, says the LORD:[33], But THIS SHALL BE MY COVENANT THAT I SHALL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISREAL; After those days, says the LORD, I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND I WILL WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE; [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, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
2 CORINTHIANS 3:2 [2], You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: [3], Since you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, WRITTEN NOT WITH INK, BUT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD; NOT IN TABLES OF STONE, BUT IN THE FLESHLY TABLES OF THE HEART. (see all of 2 COR 3)
The NEW COVENANT promise of LOVE is God's LAW (10 Commandments) written on the heart to LOVE through faith (
ROMANS 13:8-10)
……………………………
CONCLUSION; Jesus did not come to change or destroy GOD'S LAW (10 Commandments). It is through GOD's LAW that we have a KNOLWEDGE of what SIN is. The sabbath is still to be kept. He came to fulfil what was written of Him in the books of the law and to END the Mosaic law for remission of SIN and the penalty of SIN in those who BELIEVE
Yep it is the SHADOW laws that are fulfilled in Christ. The OLD COVENANT is made up of God's 10 Commandments and the Shadow laws in ORDINANCES from the MOSAIC BOOK OF THE COVENANT.
The NEW COVENANT is to God's ISRAEL who are all those who BELIEVE and FOLLOW GOD'S WORD *HEBREWS 8:10-12. If you are not a part of God's ISRAEL you have no part in the NEW COVENANT. Gentiles are now grafted in *ROMANS 11:13-27.
Sorry brother God's WORD disagrees with you and there is a lot of it. You have your shadow laws mixed up with God's eternal LAW that give us a KNOWLEDGE of what sin is if broken. *
ROMANS 3:20;
ROMANS 7:7;
JAMES 2:11;
1 JOHN 3:4
Hope this helps.
