NO, the Covenant God made with Levi on Israel's behalf, the Covenant Levi (Aaron and his sons) corrupted because he became partial in the law, the Covenant that God promised to replace in Jer. 31, that dealt with how God's Laws are administered, and how transgression of God's Laws are atoned for, the Covenant made which required the blood of bulls, No!!! I'm not talking about those Commandments. They have become old and have become obsolete, because the blood of animals didn't take away man's stubborn, self righteous, rebellion.
I'm talking about the "Good, Just and Holy Laws" God created, for the sinner, from the foundation of the World that we should "Walk in them". The Commandments, Statutes and Laws of God that Abraham obeyed. The Commandments Statutes and Commandments of God HE gave to Abraham's Children when they cried out in Egypt. I'm not talking about the Covenant God made on Israel's behalf to provide for atonement "Til the Seed should come".
Jesus tells us how Religious men has treated His Love since Cain killed Abel because Abel humbled Himself to God but Cain did not.
Jer. 6:
16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
But they said, We will not walk therein.
As it is to this day!
Yes, the Law that required sacrificial "works" for the atonement of transgression of God's Laws was added to His Law 430 years after Abraham obeyed, because of transgression of God's Laws, Commandments and Statutes that God gave to Abraham, Commandments He obeyed, at least according to the God of the Bible.
But God gave His instruction on how to Love God and Love one another in the very beginning. At least that is what John teaches.
The teaching that God created law impossible to obey, then commanded man to obey it anyway, is an insidious falsehood spread by the father of lies. Teaching such wickedness is not Love, although "many" who come in Christ's Name preach that it is. .
Rom. 6:
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Luke 9:
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Gen. 4:
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
There are "many" who come in Christ's Name, who preach it is impossible for me to humble myself before God because it is impossible for me to choose God's Spiritual way over mans Fleshy religions. But Paul didn't, Jesus didn't, and certainly the Word of God didn't from the very beginning as far back as Cain and Abel.
Jesus warned of such religious voices in Matt. 24.
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I (Jesus) am Christ; and shall deceive many.
This is what religious men teaches. But Jesus teaches if we reject His Commandment, HE doesn't know us. The Mainstream Preachers of Jesus time were rejected because they created their own law, their own love, their own image of God, their own righteousness. This might appear holy to religious men, but it is most evil according to the God of the Bible.
You have omitted a very important truth here, and I'm not sure why you would do such a thing, maybe you just forgot. Please let me help you by inserting Biblical Truth.
"1John3:10..This is how we know who are the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does Not do what is right
{ AS DEFINED BY THE GOD OF THE BIBLE} is Not God’s child, Nor is anyone who does Not Love their brother and sisters..."
THERE, now it is truth.
Yes, this is a statement I am in full agreement.
