1 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Morant61 | 135441 | ||
Greetings Kalos! Excellent point my friend! I was also thinking in terms of the covenant. A covenant is a contract. The contract is only binding upon those who are 'signers' so to speak. Thus, how could anyone enforce obedience to the commandments universally? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Why did God give ten commandments? | Heb 8:13 | Reighnskye | 135448 | ||
Tim, Actually the Law of Moses is also enforced on those who did not sign the covenant, and who were not members of the house of Israel. For example: Joshua 6 20 So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. 21 They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword. (NAS95) Joshua 10 28 Now Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Thus he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho. 30 The LORD gave it also with its king into the hands of Israel, and he struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor in it. Thus he did to its king just as he had done to the king of Jericho. 32 The LORD gave Lachish into the hands of Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua defeated him and his people until he had left him no survivor. 35 They captured it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; and he utterly destroyed that day every person who was in it, according to all that he had done to Lachish. 37 They captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it. 39 He captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Just as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had also done to Libnah and its king. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Greetings Reighnskye! Where do these passage say anything about enforcing the covenant? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, You ask: "Where do these passage say anything about enforcing the covenant?" That's just it. These passages say nothing about enforcing the covenant. Yet, the Law of Moses was still in effect to destroy them, insofar as they were judged to be unclean. In fact, these nations who were destroyed were neither members of the house of Israel, nor were they covenant-makers. Nonetheless, the Law of Moses dictated their destruction, even every man, woman and child. They were wholly judged as unholy and profane by the Law of Moses, in the absence of any covenant. Not only are covenant-breakers put to death under the Law of Moses, but also those who do not enter into covenant. I believe that you were the one who brought up the covenant. - Joshua 6 20 So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. 21 They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

Greetings Reighnskye! I just responded to your other post, but my point here would be the same. Nothing is this passage says that they were destroyed because of anything relating to the covenant with Israel. Nothing is said about the Law of Moses dictating their destruction.
