I also said It was not new to Abraham or the nations who are blessed in him.

In calling it NEW it made Sinai OLD. which the old was only made with Israel, including Juda.

 

Sure.  I kind of focused in on the New Covenant being for Israel and Judah comment.

So you agree with Scripture in Jeremiah 31:31-34 that the New Covenant is a covenant between the God of Abraham and the Hebrew/Jewish House of Israel and the House of Judah?

Only?

You may have misunderstood me but that's not where I stand. Even in the Old Testament there is the promise for All peoples of the world to be part of the New Covenant. Anyone who rejects Christ Jew or gentile doesn't matter, will not take part in this New Covenant through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Contrary to what many pastors teach, the world is going to end when Jesus comes. Now that's going to be a problem for anyone, especially those who think they're going to have a thousand years to accept Christ. This is what I believe I'm led to proclaim. 

And this has nothing to do with how I feel towards anyone. I love everyone just the same. My concern is for everyone to have eternal life to believe on the Lord and now, while we have the chance.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 specifically states the parties to the New Covenant, and they are the House of Israel and the House of Judah. Jesus Himself and there are other passages, including the high priests' duties before God a ministry specific to and for the children of Israel. Why would you contradict Jeremiah's prophecy and add to the bible anyone else? 

The Abraham Covenant is between God, Abraham and Abraham's seed. There are no other persons or group of persons in this covenant. Later, building upon the Abraham Covenant and fulfilling the promise to deliver the Hebrew people from out of a strange land and out of slavery God makes a covenant with Abraham's seed through Moses. When the high priest performs his ministry before God and offers sacrifices on a yearly basis to atone for the sins of the children of Israel he doesn't offer sacrifices for non-Hebrew Gentiles; and in fulfilli9ng the Law neither did Jesus as High Priest offer Himself to atone for the sins of non-Hebrew Gentiles. If He did, then He would be violating and breaking the Law on that count. Jesus says explicitly that He was sent to and for the lost sheep of the House of Israel. I don't think anyone has power or authority to add to Jesus' words and His work as sent by God.

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matt. 15:24.

      33       But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;
      After those days, saith the LORD,
      I will put my law in their inward parts,
      And write it in their hearts;
      And will be their God,
      And they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:33.

You do realize that Jesus sacrificed Himself to and for the children of Israel, and that as the promise of this Hebrew covenant that all the sins of Israel have been atoned, and not only that, but God forgives all Israel and remembers their sin no more. This covenant is sealed in His blood and from the moment Jesus resurrected every sin of Israel, past, present, and future has been forgiven, right? You do accept the Scripture, don't you?

I would think you would proclaim Scripture as written and not add to the Bible things that are not there, such as salvation being offered, let alone, given to anyone who is not Hebrew and in covenant with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. In my reading of Scripture - the Law, Psalms, and the Prophets - I don't find non-Hebrew Gentiles included in these covenants.

The Abraham Covenant is described in Genesis 12, 15, and 17. The parties to this covenant are God, Abraham, and Abraham's Hebrew seed. The Mosaic Covenant is between God and the children of Israel God delivered out of Egypt. The New Covenant as well the parties to this covenant are God, the House of Israel and the House of Judah, or all twelve tribes of the children of Israel. We don't have the freedom to add anyone into these covenants if they are not mentioned as being named in these covenants.

This, too, is astounding. Do you love God's enemies as well?  When the children were in the desert at the time of the Tabernacle God taught the twelve tribes about love and who to love. I find it a betrayal and disloyalty to love God's enemies, Jesus, enemies, and Israel's enemies. God instructed the twelve tribes about love, and in the gospels, Jesus also upheld those commands of God. Love is part of the Law of God. God teaches Israel, who is Betrothed to God in marriage covenant about love. Any person of the Church of God and who are the Bride of Christ, if they were to love anyone not in covenant would be committing adultery. To claim that God loves everyone doesn't understand God's love. God has one Bride: Israel. To say God loves the world is to say God loves the strange woman and this is adultery. I, as a believer, would never give God's love to me to anyone outside the marriage covenant. I know God has given His love to His covenant people and I am taught by God that the love He's given to another person who's saved and in covenant with Him, that such is love is commanded to be given to me and anyone who gives God's Holy love to unholy people commits adultery against me and this is offensive. God's love is never to be shared or given to His enemies. I think that if you understood God's love according to Scripture then maybe you can redirect God's love to the correct people and the Church will profit.

The children of Israel have been scattered into the world a long long time ago. They have assimilated and mixed with the other peoples of the world. There are no true Israelites walking around today with pure Hebrew blood.

"For God so ( in this manner) loved the world......" God's love is for Israel, multiplied as the sand of the sea in all nations In all the world.

Salvation is not according to the flesh. The Bible teaches that. It's not of blood. The Bible is a spiritual book. It's full of parables allegories metaphors and other things that cannot possibly be taken literally In many instances. "Israel" is a symbolic word for the body of Christ. That's why there's hope for me and others who aren't boasting about who they are, if they even have any DNA in them to prove it.

That's about all I have to say about it.

I approved your post only to counter with facts:

I do not know where you obtain your information from, but God has always retained a remnant of His chosen people, pure Jewish, not mixing genealogy with Gentiles, not bred out.

I used to find the Bible's lineages from Adam to Christ and Abraham to Christ boring, so I speed-read them. Not anymore; they serve as verifiable, inerrant documentation.

Many Jewish families have retained their documentation and ancestral Jewish roots during the diaspora(s). That documentation, along with DNA testing, was the criteria used to select and train the High Priest and priests for the coming third Temple. I could cite many sources, but the one below will suffice.

Progress on the Third Temple's Construction and Priestly Restoration: Where Are We in God's Timeline and Are Our Robes Washed Clean?

Where do you obtain your sources that the Jewish race is now multi-racial?

By stating, Israel is a symbolic word for the body of Christ," I take it you adhere to Replacement Theology.

I don't call it replacement theology. That's a negative condescending phrase. Fulfillment or progressive "theology" is with salvation is from the beginning with Adam to the end with Christ.

The old and New covenants are part of one Covenant of salvation from God before the foundation of the world. Salvation was through the blood of Christ 10,000 years ago as it is today.

Even if there were Jewish people of pure blood out there, it's irrelevant in God's eyes anyway. And as I have said before, the overwhelming majority of Jews today are European converts to Judaism, as were their ancestors. They don't have an ounce of Hebrew blood in them. Have you ever heard of the word Ashkenazi?

All I'm saying is at the end of the day who you are as a human being doesn't matter, as long as your sins are paid for.

The " coming third temple" would be blasphemous mockery at the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Christ is the temple.

I don't understand why a Christian would forsake Christ's teachings to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, or to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. I do not read where we are to temporarily forsake these scriptures  " until they get right with God". Makes no sense at all.

That is correct. God Himself has scattered the Hebrew people and sent them fleeing with their lives into Gentile lands. My understanding God did this four times in recorded history. Assyrian conquest and exile of the ten northern kingdom tribes ca. 722 BC; The Babylonian conquest and exile of the two southern kingdom tribes ca. 586 BC; the Roman destruction and defeat of Israel proper ca. AD 70 (and passed laws that forbade Jews returning to Israel in general, and Jerusalem specifically); Nazi Germany ca. 1930s-40s. The scattering by God of the Israelites from 722 BC to the first century AD encapsulated approximately 29-35 generations of Jews born with many births due to conquest, exile, rape, concubinage, slavery, fornication and marriage. Some estimate that up to 2-3 million Jews were carried away or scattered from Israel to preserve life and settled outside Israel and in Gentile lands. Jews mingled with the nations "goy" and learned their ways, and the "flavor" of the Mosaic society was lost as a result. Jews were born and grew up as Gentile in a hostile land but twice a remnant of Jews led by Hezekiah and then Ezra returned to Israel to rebuild their "walls" and their city. A remnant of 2 million jews can be between 5-10% of total Jews alive worldwide. The remaining 90-95% of Jews stayed among Gentiles.

"For God so ( in this manner) loved the world......" God's love is for Israel, multiplied as the sand of the sea in all nations In all the world.

If you are taking "world" in context to what group of people Jesus was referring to then the context is Jews. "World of Jews." God so loved the world [of Jews]..." is the correct understanding. The Hebrew Scripture records God identifying Abraham's seed (the Jews - children of Israel) a "holy people," a "people of priests", a special people," the "apple of His eye," "His betrothed" and according to Deuteronomy 7:6, a people God exalts "ABOVE all people on the earth."

The Abraham Covenant is made with Abram the Hebrew (Gen. 14:13) and his Hebrew seed. There are no non-Hebrew Gentiles included in this covenant and it was sealed by virtue of God's Promises itself and circumcision that separated the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (not Ishmael and not Esau) from the rest of the Adamites and later the (non-Hebrew) Gentiles.

In time God delivered the Hebrews (Abraham's seed) from Egypt and made another covenant with the children of Israel which included the giving of God's Law(s) called the Mosaic Covenant. A Tabernacle was set up and the children of Israel were instructed and commanded by God in three aspects of this overall covenant having three sections of Moral Law, Social Law, and Ceremonial Law. The Pentateuch records vividly the ensuing relationship between the children of Israel and the God of Abraham with God as their King. As part of God's plan for this people He prophesied, He would raise up "a prophet like unto Moses from among [thy] people" and God raised up judges and later prophets who carried God's Word to the people until disobedience and idolatry led God to judge His people and to do it first through the Assyrians and later the Babylonians who carried away God's people far and wide and deep into Gentile lands. After over 700 years God sent the "prophet like unto Moses" to Israel, John the Baptist said this "lamb of God" was manifest (appeared) unto Israel and Jesus Himself, that Prophet, declared He was "sent to the lost sheep of the House of Israel." The Mosaic Covenant did not include non-Hebrew Gentiles. God instituted the Passover with the Hebrew people and laid the foundation of final deliverance for this people through the Ceremonial Law(s) of the Mosaic Covenant.

That's about all I have to say about it.

Salvation is according to the flesh, the flesh of the sacrifice of the Person of Jesus bar Joseph who died in place of the animal sacrifice which was made corresponding to their Passover to atone finally and eternally for the children of Israel according to the Law. It was the humanity of the Hypostatic Union of the God-man that was tested in the desert for each test addressed the humanity of Messiah for the temptations came from within Jesus and not from without (Lucifer/Satan/devil.)

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. James 1:14.

Jesus was a man and as a man, glorified as He was, was tested in order to be used of God for the final redemption of His covenant people, the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Christ did not die. God cannot be killed. It was Jesus the man (flesh) "made of a woman, made under the Law, to redeem those who were under the Law" (Gal. 4:4-5) and this substitutionary sacrifice of the man accomplished the goal of redeeming God's people to Himself in and through Jesus Christ. 

It was the flesh of the animal that was sacrificed by God through the high priest, and it was the flesh of Jesus the Christ that was sacrificed to save the flesh of the children of Israel. Tell me, if you know, what part of the God-man was sacrificed and died on the cross? His soul? No. His Spirit? No. His body? Yes! 

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: Hebrews 10:4–5.

Skin for skin. 

And this teaching that the Law is "abrogated," "abolished" or "obsolete" is a false doctrine among Christians. It is this very Law by which sacrifice is made and by the Law and the Prophets - Jesus being One - through which His resurrection is/was accomplished, for it is the Law, who is type and shadow of the Holy Spirit, that God will put in their inward parts. No longer is the Law written on stone to lead and guide the born-again believer as a new man in their lives from without and but instead from within. If the Law is 'abolished' then what Law is being spoken of that God puts in the believer upon "fleshly tables of the heart"? It is the Law of Moses that God puts in one's inward parts. The reason why the "letter of the Law killeth" was because men were flesh. But when one becomes born-again, they become spirit and in this condition the Law, which is spiritual, cannot touch a spiritual man in Christ (Spirit.) 

The Law is eternal, everlasting. It tells me I shall not have other gods before me and when I do the Law/Holy Spirit convicts me from within and brings me back to God. But one more thing before I close out this reply. Jeremiah states unequivocally the New Covenant is between God and the House of Israel and the House of Judah. There is no mention of non-Hebrew Gentiles in this covenant. The New Covenant which Jesus instituted on Passover is sealed in His blood for life is in the blood. This New Covenant was enacted on the day of the Jewish Feast of Harvest in which the Holy Spirit of Promise PROMISED TO ISRAEL (Joel), baptized into His (Jesus') body three thousand Jews and mixed heritage Jews visiting from Gentile lands where they lived, and thus began the New Covenant in which through the Work of Christ natural Olive tree Israel became spiritual Olive tree Israel and "Christ added to His Church (Greek: "ekklesia" = "called out [ones]") daily such as should be saved (Acts 2:47.) and the Church Jesus Christ promised to build began on this day and it was populated by Jews, Jews that have been justified (declared "Not Guilty!") of transgressing the Law (which was erroneously said to be abolished), and in this new birth the Chosen people - Israel - was forgiven of all sins as Jeremiah said, and Israel/Hebrews were restored to eternal fellowship with God. Jesus Christ as High Priest, died for the children of Israel in covenant with God and in this covenant, I find no non-Hebrew Gentiles included in Israel's atonement. 

When asked "for whom did Jesus die" give them this passage:

 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Galatians 4:3–5.

Gentiles were never included "under the Law," nor under a "schoolmaster" and as Saul says, "ALL Israel shall be saved." (Romans 11.) The Chosen people of God have something which ensured their redemption. They have covenant. Gentiles do not.

Jesus Christ as High Priest, died for the children of Israel in covenant with God and in this covenant, I find no non-Hebrew Gentiles included in Israel's atonement. 

When asked "for whom did Jesus die" give them this passage:

 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Galatians 4:3–5.

Gentiles were never included "under the Law," nor under a "schoolmaster" and as Saul says, "ALL Israel shall be saved." (Romans 11.) The Chosen people of God have something which ensured their redemption. They have covenant. Gentiles do not.

You said: " If you are taking "world" in context to what group of people Jesus was referring to then the context is Jews. "World of Jews."

I'm sorry. I don't think so.
