It matters because you are suppose to handle the Word of G-d with fear and trembling; not adding or subtracting even a little jot or tittle to them. You change words that are not interchangeable not understanding you completely change the context and spiritual meaning of the textYou & I both know that the Abrahamic covenant is the promise of the spirit through faith. What difference is it if I say Abraham’s promise or Abraham’s covenant and if I say that covenant concerns faith?
Galatians 3:6-9 (NASB) 6 Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED IN YOU." 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
Romans 4:3-14 (NASB) 3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: 7 "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. 8 "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT." 9 Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, "FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." 10 How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised; 11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised. 13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;
"Covenant of faith" not written in Scripture. Do you agree? Yeshua says "As it is written" or "As it is also written?"Covenant of faith? Yes I think this is not far off...
Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
What law????
Ro 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
The promise will be guaranteed to all of the descendants of Abraham not only those of the Law (Romans 4:16); Moses is a son of Abraham.Ephesians 2:12 (NASB) remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
Hebrews 8:6 (NASB) But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
Hebrews 9:15 (NASB) For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Romans 4:13 (NASB)
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:16 (NASB)
For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
Galatians 3:14 (NASB)
in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:22 (NASB)
But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
The law of faith is to say “the rules that govern the promise of the spirit by faith.” It isn’t a law that is part of Moses law, but rather a promise God made to Abraham in Abraham’s covenant.
You mean the "covenant of circumcision on the 8th day" established by YHWH with Abraham passed down to Moses; he built and worshipped at the altar.Hello, Yes you're right......covenant with Abraham is the covenant that requires Faith...so Faith is the Law that justify Abraham in Genesis 26 so also is the Law that we as Christians should follow...
The covenant with Abraham is sometimes called "the everlasting covenant", "covenant of love" or "covenant of the promise "...the requirement for that Covenant is "Faith " as you mentioned in Romans. ..and the command for that same covenant is Love...or in one sentence is "Faith" express through "Love"...Galatians 5:6
Faith that is based in Torah will CREDIT righteousness to the believer.Yes, the law is not based on Faith (Faith is referring to Jesus Christ ) Galatians 3:22-25...But the law is based on anyone who does what is says....you already sum up the the two covenants in one sentence...one is based on man's efforts or righteousness through works, the other is Christ works or Righteousness through Faith....
The law requires love; faith is expressed through Torah. We read the story of Abraham in genesis; the first book of Torah.Hello, Yes you're right......covenant with Abraham is the covenant that requires Faith...so Faith is the Law that justify Abraham in Genesis 26 so also is the Law that we as Christians should follow...

Hello, the covenants of circumcision in the flesh is for all Israelites now the truly circumcision is done by the Spirit and is the circumcision of the hearts for those children of the promise both Israelites and gentiles...You mean the "covenant of circumcision on the 8th day" established by YHWH with Abraham passed down to Moses; he built and worshipped at the altar.
Hello, let me put it this way..The Law and Prophets which are the old testament are witnesses to Israel of the "Righteousness of God" But both Law and Prophets cannot impart Righteousness to the people unless the power of Sin over the people is broken and a new power is established....you can see that in the two covenants (old&new)...So Only "Faith" which enables that "Righteousness" to be credited to the people of God...Not the Law (Sinai)Faith that is based in Torah will CREDIT righteousness to the believer.
The law requires "works" as it says "the person who Does or Do these things (things written in the law) shall live by them...The law requires love; faith is expressed through Torah. We read the story of Abraham in genesis; the first book of Torah.
The covenant established with Abraham was a freshly circumcision on the 8th day. Do you agree?Hello, the covenants of circumcision in the flesh is for all Israelites now the truly circumcision is done by the Spirit and is the circumcision of the hearts for those children of the promise both Israelites and gentiles...
Abraham walked by faith.The law requires "works" as it says "the person who Does or Do these things (things written in the law) shall live by them...
But
Faith is ...."If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...Romans 10
Abraham lived by Faith..as it says " Abraham believed God, and was credited to him as righteousness....
"Believed" is the end-result of our Faith which is comes through our knowledge of Christ...
Yes, being born again....As the Lord said to Nicodemus.Hello, the covenants of circumcision in the flesh is for all Israelites now the truly circumcision is done by the Spirit and is the circumcision of the hearts for those children of the promise both Israelites and gentiles...
How were the law of commandments CONTAINED in ordinances?
What does the word "contrary" mean in Galatians 3:12? Please do not ignore my question.
If you were children of Abraham you would do the WORKS of Abraham (John 8:39). What work did Abraham do? Abraham circumcised every male in his house.The law requires "works" as it says "the person who Does or Do these things (things written in the law) shall live by them...
But
Faith is ...."If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...Romans 10
Abraham lived by Faith..as it says " Abraham believed God, and was credited to him as righteousness....
"Believed" is the end-result of our Faith which is comes through our knowledge of Christ...
It is a description of the covenant, not a title."Covenant of faith" not written in Scripture. Do you agree? Yeshua says "As it is written" or "As it is also written?"
Ordinances do not come from G-d.The Lord added the ordinances to the covenant, which included the sacrifices that foreshadowed Christ.
He fulfilled them.
They have been removed from the Covenant, to make way for it’s refreshing, being called the New Covenant.

No one has ever disputed that Moses was a son of Abraham. What is under dispute is that those with the same faith in the gospel as Abraham are also considered heirs according to promise.The promise will be guaranteed to all of the descendants of Abraham not only those of the Law (Romans 4:16); Moses is a son of Abraham.
