Really? undecided

A covenant is an agreement that involves oath taking. Abraham is the person that with God, made a covenant. He was NOT the covenant.

The covenant was for his inheritance of Canaanites, which is why Michael descended on Jericho and all related Canaan cities with a blood bath. So Abraham's covenant is spent. Especially with Christ coming. He brokered a new covenant. New promises for the saints, and an inheritance of the principalities of all the earth. It's also open to more people, including rebellious ones like you. wink It's better, will be bloody very soon. grin

I hope I was clear enough.



Waw. So God gives short term covenants. Yet he is the same yesterday, today and forever.

I'll keep repeating for as long as you pretend to be dumb. I've got all the time undecided

You should go back to Sunday School.

See how you're embarrassing yourself. That God's covenant with Abraham is spent.

Thanks for your time.

What's the relation about God being the same person and him making covenants with two of his children? I think it actually shows consistency. He deals with covenants.

Did u miss the part about the covenants being two, to two different people? Rhetorical question.

You just have a list of unreasonable points to make that you are forcing into issues here. So you want me to say God changed? I am trying hard to find your point.

You're the one being really ignorant. No doubt Jesus ushered in a new covenant, which I tried telling replaced the old one. However, both the old and new were ad a result of the one God had with Abraham.

You came here and said Abraham’s covenant is spent already, and Jesus was doing negotiations for us (I asked with who). grin grin

In simple English... Did God enter a covenant with Jesus? You seemingly are clueless about this... But anyways, the thread is simply saying you don't have a covenant with God... If you do, kindly let me know when and how.

Until then... Keep wallowing in ignorance. wink

[size=18pt]We’re Children Of The Covenant [/size]

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed (Acts 3:25).

One Bible character that’s been very popular and important through the ages is Abraham. What made him so relevant in God’s scheme of things? It’s the covenant God made with him. Abraham was God’s covenant friend. Now, I know there’re Christians who say they have a covenant with God. No, you don’t have any covenant with God. Abraham had a covenant with God, [size=18pt][b]but we’re not in that covenant.[/size] Who are we?
What?!
You are the children of those prophets, and [size=18pt]you are included in the covenant[/size] God promised to your ancestors. For God said to Abraham, 'Through your descendants all the families on earth will be blessed.'
Acts 3:25 NLT

What then? Remember Paul was here speaking to Israelites in a synagogue. Now your claims are contradicting both Paul and the Bible! Why would God enter into a covenant with Israel since they were supposedly 'children of covenant'




We’re the seed of Abraham: “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:26-29).

As Abraham’s seed, we’re the children of the covenant that God had with him. This is really amazing! Let me illustrate further. Imagine a husband and his wife in a marriage covenant. Would their child or children be part of their covenant? Absolutely not! Their child would be the product of the covenant.

Books have been written about our covenant with God, but really, we’re not in covenant with God. The danger of this misleading teaching is that while praying and trying to get results on the basis that you’re in covenant with God, you’re merely trying to get what you already have. And you’ll never get it that way. There’re things people pray and struggle for that shouldn’t be, if only they knew who they are, and their positioning in Christ. We’re [size=18pt]children[/size] of the covenant!

https://www.nairaland.com/393253/rhapsody-realities-daily-devotional/53#48349122

See, what of the OT and the Israelites (mind you they were biological descendants)? Did God not enter into covenant with them? Granted, the OT and NT are based on the Promise to Abraham, however, everyone had to play his part!

7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people; and they said, All that the Lord has said we will do, and we will be obedient.
8 And Moses took the [remaining half of the] blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the [size=18pt]covenant which the Lord has made with you[/size] in accordance with all these words.
Exodus 24:7,8

Remember all that God did was because of His promise to Abraham? Yet we see the Israelites coming into a covenant here.

Always test claims from a holistic perspective before running forward!

Do u know how improbable genetically for Abraham to be ur father? undecided
Please don't think we can be thinking about the same thing.

I am talking about a divine nature while you are talking about human nature.

God is my father through christ Jesus, the seed of abraham. Abraham is the father OF FAITH of which I walk by faith. So all who walk by the faith of christ attracts all the promises made by God to abraham.

An omniscient being choose Abraham as a covenant and later found out he was not good enough

In case u did not noticed, u just mocked ur God's intelligence.
You always like to ignore the truth and establish a laughable idea on a lie. But why are you insincere?

Sincerity was my way out of being an agnostic. Just be sincere!

who told you that abraham was not good enough?

Please, stop deluding yourself!

God made a covenant with abraham, of which his ETERNAL descendants were part of.

Now, God NEVER ABOLISHED the abrahamic covenants. If you have to prove otherwise, you can go ahead.

Under Abrahamic covenant, God freely gives his people UNCONDITIONALLY FOR THE SAKE OF ABRAHAM'S FAITH IN HIM and it was an ABSOLUTE GRACE. And this happen BEFORE the law. The law was asked by the Israelites then, and God gave them the law, which they agreed to keep UNCONDITIONALLY out of their (I think)self-righteous blindness. At the end of the day, all failed at keeping of the law. See, God knew they would fail, but BECAUSE they asked for it, God gave it to them.

When the law came, the dividends of the abrahamic covenant became CONDITIONAL. Because, you have to obey ALL to receive. And even if you keep all but one, you would receive a curse. Remember, they AGREED by themselves to take the responsibility of the law and it's curse.

So, because NO MAN can keep all, all men were under curse. Now, God in his mercy and love created an incarnate son of himself and MANIFESTED via mary TO TAKE AWAY THE PUNISHMENT AND CURSE OF THE LAW, by suffering for it ON OUR BEHALF. So, now whosoever that believes that his sins and curses(past, present and future) has been suffered by Jesus ON HIS BEHALF, shall be saved.

And through this faith, we have an UNCONDITIONAL FREE ACCESS to the beneficiary of the abrahamic covenant.

Hope you will get it.

Abrahamic covenant is not spent!

Mind you, this thread is christians and not atheist. For the purpose of settling misconceptions towards the gospel.

Don't be surprise about the disunity of understanding towards the scripture because it has nothing to do with it's authenticity.

No matter, how something is misunderstood, it is not a lie or a fairytale. So, no matter how darwin's last statement is misunderstood, it doesn't mean he didn't say it. Do you reason?

Old and new are products of abrahamic covenant.

The difference btw old and new is that the old was conditional via keeping of the law. In the new, the old was renewed by the abolishing of the law which made our dividend an UNCONDITIONAL one.

Under the law, it was conditional, under grace it was conditional.
