Hebrews 8:7 KJV
(7) For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
What exactly do you think was faulty of the old covenant?
Here's an interesting little question for the maddies to chew over.
What covenant did the Israelites delight in, that was preached by Jesus?

Old Covenant
Israel and Judah
Blessings for obedience
Cursings for disobedience
Land pending on obedience
New Covenant
Israel and Judah
God causes them to obey
God gives them the land
Simple stuff!
It was old
Inaccurate, invented, dispensational stuff . . .
(You really should not parrot about theology you have not studied.)
OLD COVENANT:
Works according to LAW.
Condemns all, because no human can, wills, or has ever perfectly worked and managed to keep all the Law. Romans 3:9-20
NEW COVENANT:
Salvation according to grace extended to those justified by faith in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:21-31

My info came straight from Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
Yours came from commentaries.
I'll stick with the prophets.
I gave Scripture references. Where are yours?
:chuckle:
Read Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36-38.
I have studied these portions of Scripture and believe they had immediate application, but all promise and prophecy found therein has been fulfilled by the Incarnate Christ.
The Old Covenant contained the Law, but they are not synonymous.
The New Covenant contains forgiveness and obedience to the Law, but they are not synonymous.
:chuckle:
That you consider this a laughing matter, makes me want to weep for you . . .

Your unbelief is the comical part.
