I watched this video on You Tube. Is one view of the difference between Covenant theology and Dispensationalism.
The following is an audio file, but does a much better job than the Dispensationalist above.

What I am concluding is that Covenant theology was born out a belief that became popular that the church had become israel, and that persons by virtue of becoming Christians have become Jews.The following is an audio file, but does a much better job than the Dispensationalist above.

And that in England that belief, at the time of the reformation, became a formal man-made systematic approach to understanding the bible called Covenant theology. Dividing the bible up into covenants. Which later evolved into New Covenant theology to address among other things the apparent flawed issue over infant baptism.
And Covenant theology was the basic mindset of the Pilgrims coming to America from England, and the Geneva bible, that you like to quote from.
Then along came Schofield and others who challenged the basic foundation belief of Covenant theology based on replacement theology and super session theology, by insisting that Israel and the church are separate, and the promises to Israel in the Tanach had not been replaced to apply to the church instead.
And dispensationalism, an equal, but conflicting, man-made approach to the bible was born. Dividing the bible up into dispensations instead of covenants.
Which in the eyes of them holding the Covenant theology view see the world of Christianity in only two camps - that of Covenant theology vs dispensationalism. And Covenant theology individuals do not know how to react when someone who is Christian, but not a dispensationalist, disagrees with their position. Because it outside of their paradigm.
Bab2, all of your videos are about the battle your (New) Covenant Theology group have with the Dispensationalism group.
Here is another video... Manuel Lacunza, from Chile, at minute 16:15. 1731-1801.The true source of modern Dispensational Theology is found in the video below.
I don't think anyone could obey the law. The law was there for Christ to fulfill, after all, Moses and the law were written about Jesus.
Jesus in the sermon on the mount was announcing that no one was eligible, no one was perfect, the law condemns absolutely.
Romans 3:9-12
Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; as it is written, "There is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God. All have turned aside, together they have become useless. There is none who does good, there is not even one.”
A righteous person does not exist. It is difficult to accept but this is certainly true. All the law does is hold a mirror to your face and tell you in no uncertain terms. That you commit evil, you think evil thoughts, and you were never righteous.
I agree. Moses even seemed to expect the Israelites to break them (and even said so to them). It wasn't written "IF" you don't obey....but "when":I don't think anyone could obey the law. The law was there for Christ to fulfill, after all, Moses and the law were written about Jesus.
The most grievous form of replacement theology is the one that removes Christ as the recipient of the inheritance and promises of God and replaces Him with a secular modern-day geopolitical entity.To clarify, you subscribed to replacement theology?

2 Corinthians 1:20 ~ For all the promises of God are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him, our “Amen” is spoken to the glory of God
For me, RT is simply that "The Body of Christ has replaced Israel" in God's timetable.
What is your definition of Israel? How is Israel identified?
1. By DNA?
2. By religion?
3. By culture?
4. By geographic location?
5. By something else?

The Nation of Israel, the 12 tribes of James 1:1, the House of Israel and the House of Judah in Hebrews 8:8.
The Body of Christ is not Israel, in my books
So which of the five choices is it?
How does one identify "The Nation of Israel, the 12 tribes of James 1:1, the House of Israel and the House of Judah in Hebrews 8:8."?
I suppose so.
