Not a New Testament - but a Renewed Covenant


Listen Later

Many in the Christian world have questions: Questions about their prayer life such as, how should I address my prayers? Do I pray to Jesus or to God? If it says ask anything in my name, should I use the name of Jesus in closing all of my prayers? What about God? Is he the cruel war god described by so many that we are to avoid? Isn't there a difference between the God of the New Testament and the God of the Old Testament? If my church is strictly a New Testament church, should we be considering the Old Testament at all? Didn't all of that stuff get nailed to the cross? Should I actually read the Old Testament or just wait for my pastor to point out the relevant sections and leave the rest alone? Am I allowed to read the bible by myself? Isn't the Apocrypha just for Catholics? Will I fall from grace if I come to understand the laws, judgments, statutes and covenants of the Old Testament?The teaching of Mashiach tells you directly who to pray to: Our father, and then he models that kind of prayer in John 17. What if I told you that the name of the father and the name of the son were in essence the same? We will be looking at the idea that was proposed long ago claiming that the "God" of the Old Testament (Yahuah Elohiym) was a lesser demiurge than the "God" of the New Testament (Iesous Cristos whose birth name was not in Greek but Hebrew, and he was named after that famous deliver Joshua); this notion has been dispelled as heresy for centuries! Join us for a lively discussion on why the phrase "renewed covenant" is a better choice that "new testament".
