"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

Ja 1

If the first covenant is eternal but a second can wipe it out why should we put our trust in His new eternal covenant? If He doesn't change why would He change His covenant? And if He changes things He calls eternal why should we trust Him? If eternal is just a meaningless title and He really doesn't change then this is His patern to swear covenants and then replace them in a couple thousand years...it's been a couple thousand since the last eternal covenant. If He doesn't change and this is His method -to swear an eternal covenant and then replace it with another- we should be due for an even newer eternal covenant to replace the last one soon. Shouldn't we?...

That is unless of course we got it all wrong in churchianity. That couldn't be though could it?

Could it be that when YHWH Almighty swears an eternal covenant that it's really eternal and not till a few millennia pass and a new crop of people dont understand or want it? Could it be that we break His covenants and He reforges the pieces stronger again and again?

YHWH indeed changes not and so we need not fear the promises He made will be revoked in time. We need only fear His Name and His greatness and cleave to His covenants.

Here's First Fruits Ministries' Sabbath Sermon for 7/6/2024, called "Overcoming Rebellion": https://firstfruits.cc/blog/20....24/07/06/overcoming-

A couple years ago, on another site, I was criticized for studying not just the first five books and calling it "Torah Study". In retrospect:

Rom 15:4 BSB For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

Paul did not consider his own writings scripture, but:

2Ti 3:16 BSB All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

ALL scripture is Torah/instruction.

Folks, I know we are all used to instant results on the Internet, but, really: it's only necessary to click the comment button once & WAIT. 10 clicks for one comment is a bit ridiculous. Be calm. Be patient. Be still. Especially on the sabbath.

1 Kings 19:20, “Then Elisha left his oxen and ran to follow Elijah. Elisha said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother good-bye. Then I will go with you.” Elijah answered, “That is fine. Go back. I won’t stop you.” Elisha wanted to follow Elijah but there was more to this than simply saying goodbye to his parents. Elisha went to his home where he killed the oxen he was plowing with and used to yoke in the fire to cook the meat. There was no turning back at that point, there was only going forward.
