You continually fail to fully read what you post! What is the difference between the “old” and “new” covenants? The people didn’t keep the “old” covenant writ on stone, but they will keep the very same covenant writ on their hearts. The “new” covenant is the old covenant written on the believer’s heart. It is also still with “the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.” (note the separation between Israel, and Judah) “This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Keep on looking for a different covenant, with your imaginary “church” that is nowhere to be found described in the Word of Yehova! Nice try, as usual, no cigar.

You continually fail to fully read what you post!

“The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors... By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear."

It obviously is NOT the same covenant. The NEW covenant made the first covenant OBSOLETE and OUTDATED and it will DISAPPEAR. Your argument is with THE Holy Spirit, ES, not me!

The Renewed Covenant is the exact same covenant as the first, writ on a more efficacious medium.

What is “obsolete” is the fact that it was largely ignored.

Nothing is changed.

Do you think the apostle John is mistaken?

1John 3:4-10

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

There is no way to "Do" righteousness if you reject the source!

Until the Day of Trumpets, when we are "Born of Yehova" in a twinkling of an eye, we must follow the path to righteousness he gave us at the first Shevuot at Sinai. There is no other means offered to us.
