Bible Question: Dear colleagues, Is the above 'everlasting covenant' to Abraham and his descendents nullified by the New Covenant? Did God renege the Old Covenant and revoke from Israel salvation from Hell? If He did take away this 'privilege' of salvation by faith (Abraham's descendents), when was it taken away? Please give specific Bible direction. |
Bible Answer: I don't remember the bible talking about canceling the old covenant in favor of the new. I've always interpreted as the new covenant grafted the gentiles onto the old covenant so that all would be included in God's plan. There are many verses that mention Jews and Gentiles... I don't recall anything implying any sort of cancellation. I was always told that contracts could be broken but not God's covenants (of course this could be oppinion). If you know of any verses that people use to state otherwise, I'd be curious to see them. |
