why do people think ot covenant are still active?

[Garee]

But even though His work was finished, some didn't make it.

Heb 4:1 Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.
Heb 4:2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard.
Heb 4:3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb 4:4 For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day: "AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";
Heb 4:5 and again in this passage, "THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST."
Heb 4:6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

Yes, one heard the gospel parable and mixed the temporal historical things seen with the unseen things of Christ's faith .Hiding it from those who look to the temporal alone or walk by sight . no eternal spiritual vision

Because their understanding was not united or mixed with Christ's labor of love a work of faith (his understanding) in those who heard they received no rest .

The most valuable mixing recipe needed to tightly divide the parables should be part of any Bible study

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

 

[The Gospel of Christ]

But you didn't quote saying that Jesus his blood was poured out for the forgiveness of sin. Speak with any tenth grade English teacher. Your claim cannot be justified by the words, as the words are written.

You need to read again. The Wine is poured out INTO those who have had their sins forgiven.

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.​

(Acts 2:38 KJV)

The gift of the Holy Ghost described in Acts 2 is the New Wine of the covenant of Jesus.


Do you know you're a nasty piece of work? Just nasty. And you know why? By using the word "juice." You did that, and that's a nasty thing to say. And you should repent before God for saying "Holy Spirit Juice." That you would belittle and even ridicule the sanctity of the Holy Spirit by adding the word juice. That's a horrible thing to say, just terrible, and if you have no shame about saying such a thing, you are not one of His.

I didn't "redefine" the wine. Jesus taught about the New Wine, and the second chapter of Acts describes what happens when believers (real ones) are filled with the New Wine of the Spirit. In communion, Jesus said that the blood of his covenant was THIS... the Wine that is in the cup - the Wine - poured-out INTO many when they repent.


You're just pissed that you have a mutilated translation, thinking you can make sense of it. If you want 2,000 years of Christian doctrine, then you'd better join the Greek Orthodox Church or the Church of the East (started by the Apostle Thomas) but don't go claiming to others that you understand and preach the Gospel of Jesus. Because you don't. And you don't know squat about Gnostic Theology either, because NOTHING can be found in Gnostic teaching that the Wine of Communion represents the Holy Spirit. You just look like an idiot when you spout of unfounded ideas.

And to dismiss a valid translation concern as a game? You think translation is a game? You have no clue. What you do have is a malignant Bible that is missing the word INTO. And you're upset because you're stumped since you don't know enough to even provide a rational rebuttal. I'm used to it. Christians having emotional meltdowns because they don't know any better. It's a dang shame.


I am stunned that you preach a religion that has a god who demands to be given a human blood sacrifice as an atonement offering.

So where did Jesus Himself ever say that HE would be your atoning sacrifice as the Lamb of God ????

Because I don't think you know the Teachings of Jesus very well. But I might be wrong, so... put up... answer the question. (Bet you can't.)


An arrogant word game is spewing out terms like "Gnostic nonsense" and "pseudo-Greek Flexing." A person resorts to such embittered blather when they deep down know that they're wrong. But from what I can tell at this point, your Faith is nothing different than the Aztecs or Pagan Romans who offer up a human blood sacrifice as an atonement to God.


Your Gospel, sure. Because your Gospel is not the Gospel that Jesus taught. What was the Way that Jesus taught that one's sins would be forgiven? I don't think you know. I don't think you can post a concise explanation about what JESUS taught with regards to the forgiveness of sin. (I can.)


The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is hardly metaphor. It's real, and it comes with real evidence.

For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. ... But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.​

(Acts 1:5, 8 KJV)

So what power do YOU have? I mean seriously. Millions of people claim to be baptized with the Holy Ghost and yet have Nothing - NO power - at all. And I don't think you do either.


And here lies the evil tricks of the true heretic. To accuse someone of taking a clear and concise statement "out of context." And then adding in words to scripture to paint a context that cannot be found in the text. Jeremiah 7:22 says absolutely nothing about "hypocritical ritualism." You added in those words. And that's true evil.

The verse means EXACTLY what it says:

For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.​

(Jeremiah 7:22 NRSV)

Plain as day, no explanation or spin needed. God never spoke to the Hebrews nor did God ever give any command to the Hebrews concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.

For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.​

(Jeremiah 7:22 NRSV)

Can you be honest and admit that you never even read this verse before? I don't think you can be honest. And the evil I see is you trying to explain away what the Prophet Jeremiah clearly proclaimed with some nonsense about a rebuke of hypocritical ritualism.

You should read this verse over and over, ten or twenty times a day for a month until the truth of the ACTUAL words sinks into your head, instead of inventing excuses as to why it cannot mean what it says.

GOC - it says what it says, In Hebrew, in Greek, and in English as best put by the NRSV -

For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.​

(Jeremiah 7:22 NRSV)

For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:​

(Jeremiah 7:22 Brenton- LXX)

But I see from your replies that you are one of those persons imprisoned in your religious traditions and cannot read scripture as it is written.

May God free you to read the words as written,
Rhema

You deny the atoning blood of Jesus, mock the words of Christ Himself in Matthew 26:28, and twist Jeremiah 7:22 into a Marcionite assault on God's own Law — all while dressing it in pseudo-Greek smugness and spiritual elitism.

Jesus said His blood was poured out for the forgiveness of sins.
John called Him the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Paul preached Christ crucified — not spiritual wine, not linguistic gymnastics — crucified.
Hebrews declares that without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

And yet you reject all of it — the Cross, the Lamb, the Blood, the Word — and replace it with mysticism, metaphors, and mistranslations that turn Christianity into a shapeless cult of inner light.

So let me ask you bluntly:
Are you even practicing Christianity anymore?
Because what you're preaching sounds a lot more like New Age Gnosticism in Jesus cosplay than the Gospel handed down by Christ and His apostles.

Your “spirit baptism” without blood is powerless.
Your metaphysical wine has no covenant.
Your version of Jesus didn’t die for sin — which means your version can’t save anyone.

And that’s the tragic irony:
You reject the atoning Cross of Christ, and in doing so, you’ve built a gospel so broken that even if a Gentile repents and believes in Jesus, you still condemn them — because in your system, belief isn’t enough, and the blood means nothing.

That’s right — you basically preach that every single Gentile is damned, even if they cling to Christ with their whole heart, because your gospel has no Lamb, no altar, and no forgiveness.

You mock the justice of God.
You rip apart the entire Old Testament to avoid sacrifice.
You reject the very foundation of the Gospel — that God is both just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. (Romans 3:26)

That’s not Christianity.
That’s rebellion.

Repent. You are trampling the blood of Christ underfoot (Hebrews 10:29), and if you continue in this delusion —
the next time you see the Lamb won’t be at the table of communion.
It will be on the Day of Wrath.

To the lurkers:
Rhema's theology isn't just heretical — it’s a blatantly twisted dual-covenant gospel, where Jewish converts get a special pass while Gentiles are condemned and damned even if they believe in Christ.

That’s not Christianity. That’s first-century Phariseeism repackaged in pseudo-spiritual arrogance.
And it would’ve made Jesus flip tables again —
starting with the table Rhema’s computer is sitting on.

With nearly 4,000 comments, only God knows how many confused, desperate, or curious souls Rhema has misled — and I can assure you, He’s not pleased.

She’s not just wrong.
She’s sowing poison in the name of Christ — and calling it revelation.
