Worse things

Hebrews 8:6-7

Lesser ministry, worse covenant, worse promises. The second is established b/c the first was faulty.

Faultless

Hebrews 8:8

God is at peace with the people of the new covenant because you must agree with God in order to be a part of this covenant. This faith is not a new principle; Hebrews 11.

(Address the house of Israel and Judah. There are no divine eternal covenants made with Gentiles or with “churches” as you use the word. All covenants are made with Israel. If you’re a part of God’s covenant, it was a covenant made with Israel. This does NOT mean heathen Gentile people don’t participate. That’s been assumed, but clearly isn’t true. Second, all covenants God makes after Noah are with people biologically related to Abraham. Romans 9:4 Who are Israelites to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the COVENANTS, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises. Again, this does NOT mean there is no Gentile participation. Third, all of God’s blessings are to the Jew first, THEN to the Gentile. Paul reiterates that over and over in Romans. It’s not the Jew ONLY, it’s the Jew FIRST. Then it’s explained that Gentiles are graffed into the same root, heathens become fellow-heirs, having abolished in the flesh the enmity and making peace in one body of Jew and Gentile according to Ephesians. Look at Ephesians 2:11-13. Notice the same But now as Hebrews says it.)
