(7) For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.



What exactly do you think was faulty of the old covenant?

Humankinds' failure to keep it.

The old Covenant was a Covenant of Works, which Adam breached, as well as all his offspring after him.

Here's an interesting little question for the maddies to chew over.

What covenant did the Israelites delight in, that was preached by Jesus?

Old Covenant

Israel and Judah
Blessings for obedience
Cursings for disobedience
Land pending on obedience


New Covenant

Israel and Judah
God causes them to obey
God gives them the land


Simple stuff!

Inaccurate, invented, dispensational stuff . . .

(You really should not parrot about theology you have not studied.)

OLD COVENANT:

Works according to LAW.

Condemns all, because no human can, wills, or has ever perfectly worked and managed to keep all the Law. Romans 3:9-20



NEW COVENANT:

Salvation according to grace extended to those justified by faith in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:21-31

My info came straight from Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
Yours came from commentaries.

I'll stick with the prophets.

The Old Covenant contained the Law, but they are not synonymous.
The New Covenant contains forgiveness and obedience to the Law, but they are not synonymous.

What do you consider to be "synonomous" with the Law and "synonomous" with Grace?

Hint:

Both Covenants are the Word of God; both reveal the promises of God. What is the purpose and manifestation of all this Word from God?
