In this episode of The Bible Uncut, R.L Watson responds to the question from exvangelical Memoirs of a Heretic: "If God preplanned that the 'old' was to be faulty, and eventually done away with and replaced anyways, who not just start with the 'new' one?"

By seeking to understand the nature, purpose, and promises of the old and new covenants, R.L helps us to better understand the relationship between the two. And by challenging some assumptions about these covenants, he also helps us respond to the accusation that those who lived before Jesus were robbed, and unfairly missed out on the New Covenant blessings because of His supposed poor planning.
