For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second [Heb 8:7]
Our God is not capable of error. The passage clearly puts the blame on the people, not on God. God made the first Covenant, knowing the people would blow it, thus setting the table for the New Covenant. It was part of the plan all along.
Oh, indeed.
God made the first Covenant, knowing the people would blow it, thus setting the table for the New Covenant. It was part of the plan all along
So, God created the first Covenant and predestined the people to corrupt it so that He could make another Covenant with them? But it's all people's fault?
My goodness, FK, how repulsive that is. Does it ever occur to you that it may be man's free will and disobedience that corrupted the first Covenant and not because God desired it?
Also, in this theology, God thwarts His own will by being "bound" by His plan.
