Steve, on a personal note.................If you would like to study the New Covenant - what it is, what it does, when it went into effect, how it relates to the Old Covenant, then click on my name and send me an email. I would be happy and thrilled to go through this with you one-on-one using NOTHING else but your Bible. I promise, NOTHING else but the scripture you have in your hands. One of the reasons that Christians get so confused is that they don't know about the New Covenant or when it went into effect. So they take all the teachings of Christ and say, 'Well, this must be for me.' Frankly, dear brother, not everything Christ said is for the believer. But you will never be able to discern what is and what is not until you understand what the New Covenant (Testament) is. Would you be willing to learn? In Him, Bill Mc |

You write:" I do know not everything Christ said is for the believer. " You got that right. Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. God had the authority to add or even change in one era what He had given in another. What God revealed as binding in one period may be rescinded in another, not by man but by God Himself. There are but few basic principles of Bible interpretation. What follows is one of those principles. "Recognize the progress of revelation. Remember that the Bible was not handed down all at once as a complete book but that it came from God through many different writers over a period of about 1,600 years. This means that in the progress of revealing His message to man, God may add or even change in one era what He had given in another. "The New Testament adds much that was not revealed in the Old. Furthermore, what God revealed as binding in one period may be rescinded in another (as the prohibition of eating pork, once binding on God's people, has been lifted today, 1 Tim 4:3). This is most important; otherwise, the Bible would contain apparently unresolvable contradictions (as Matt 10:5-7 compared with 28:18-20)" (Moody, 1976, 1978). |
