Are idolatry and fornication the cause of Gentiles breaking the New Covenant?

Can Gentiles Break Their Covenant With God?

 

Act 15:19  Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 
Act 15:20  But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 

 

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

 

Rom 1:31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

 

Can we consider what Peter was saying in the beginning of   Acts 15: 5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. That was right because in the scriptures it’s written in Numbers 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

So New Covenant is written on our hearts.
So can it be said that everyone who commits idolatry or adultery (including spiritual) is still 100% pagan and not covered by the New Covenant?

David committed Adultery, forced Bathsheba to commit Adultery, as [king] he technically forced himself upon her, he gets her pregnant, then creates a scheme [LIE] so Bathsheba's husband would get drunk and be intimate with his wife, when plan fails has Uriah placed in the fiercest part of Battle and has the men pull away leaving him to die basically himself vs how many, then David marries Bathsheba to cover up the pregnancy.

 

And God still chooses David's Lineage to arrive onto the Scene from.

 

Human's make horrible mistakes, especially those who are living for God!

 

But God is Merciful and Graceful!

The word used for covenant breaker in Romans is asunthetos which simply means breaking an agreement. This in context is used in a general sense of one who would break a contract or other agreement and is simply not trust worthy. It is used in a general sense and not specific to some particular agreement with God.
