Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
And who was the book of HEBREWS written to? This is a teaching to the Jewish Christians , this is not about the Gentiles being tied to the Old Covenant laws .

So your answer is that you are not under the new covenant? Or you don't believe that you are part of Judah or Israel? Unless God lies in both the old and new testaments then you must be Israel or Judah....right?

I believe there is a "new and better covenant ".

The Church is the Israel of God

"As indeed he says in Hosea, ‘Those who were not my people I will call "my people," and her who was not beloved I will call "beloved."’ 26 ‘And in the very place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," there they will be called "sons of the living God."’"

The "New Israel "is made up of believers, gentile and Jew.

"For they are not all Israel who are who are of Israel" (Romans 9: 6)

The purpose of the election of the nation and protection of the nation of Israel was to bring forth a Savior. l The church is now the bride of Christ and the Israel of God

The Israel Of God
