Yes, We disagree in part. See scripture about God’s eternal promises to His people, those covenents God has with his Jewish people which are unconditional I mean. I sent you a good start on this from Genesis. There are several more Biblical references you can find easily I’m sure. See also Genesis 12:3. We agree insofar as the islamics — their teachings have so much hate and aggression in them that they’re clearly IMHO on the opposite side of the tracks from Biblical faith traditions. As is plainly evident with so many Moslem invasions and terrorist murder gangs and attacks and bombings in the world today. We know a tree by its fruits _. Thanks. Gotta go. Have very nice day

Do you even listen to words of Consecration at Mass?

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD,OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH WILL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.

I don't know about you, but I think that means some testaments/covenants were then void and never eternal.

Pope Francis and the Old Covenant

Pope Francis effectively continues the program initiative by the Council, and brought to fruition by Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI that the Old Covenant has not been superseded by the New. This is a novel concept that runs contrary to Sacred Scripture and to the perennial magisterium of the Church.

Our Lord Jesus Christ told the Jews of his day: “If you do not believe that I am He [the Messiah], you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24) Elsewhere He said to the Jews, “You search the Scripture because in them you think you have life everlasting. And it is they that bear witness to Me, yet you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” (John 5:39-40)

Saint John, faithful to Our Lord’s teaching, says likewise, “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ. He is Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2: 22). Modern day Jews deny Jesus is the Christ, and live their lives as if Jesus does not exist.

Saint Peter, at his first sermon on Pentecost morning, publicly told the Jews who had assembled to hear him speak that they must be baptized and become members of Christ’s true ecclesia for salvation. (Acts 2) Even though these men were religious Jews, pious Jews who had traveled a great distance to celebrate the Jewish Feast, St. Peter did not tell them they had their own workable covenant independent from Christ. For salvation, they needed to leave their position in Judaism and transfer into the one true Church established by Christ.
