The Belief That There is Only Covenant “From the time of Genisis, until the present and to the day of eternity, God has interacted with man within a single framework, the eternal (everlasting) covenant of peace…” “In opposition to the single everlasting covenant, various teachers see an old one of Moses and a new Christian one, differing in word and content and diverse in purpose and intent, together with contrasting laws – of Moses (Rom. 3: 19) and of Christ (see Gal. 6: 2). (Stanley Paher, The Eternal Covenant of Peace, pp. vii, ix, Nevada Publ. )

WHY IS THIS BEING TAUGHT? “The thrust of such teaching is to promote his (Jim Puterbaugh, sw) doctrine on `Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage. ’ He explains that whatever Moses taught on Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage, Jesus also taught. . When (according to brother Puterbaugh) those under Moses’ law divorced their wives and both remarried new mates, although the divorce was sin, God recognized the second marriage of each and if they repented of their sin, they would be forgiven and could remain in covenant relationship with God while at the same time keeping the second mate. So it is today under Christ. In fact, to divorce the second mate and return to the first would be sin, according to brother Puterbaugh. (Jim Mc. Donald summarizing Jim Puterbaugh’s teaching from a series of tapes by brother Puterbaugh on “Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage. ”)

Stanley Paher: "Appreciation of this great biblical theme, as well as an understanding that the great promises and comforting statements of the Jewish prophets find fulfillment not only in the messianic era but also in the Jewish period, was gained in the early 1980 s through studies with James Puterbaugh" (The Eternal Covenant of Peace, p. 286, my emph, sw).

JIM PUTERBAUGH TEACHING THAT ADULTERY MEANS COVENANT BREAKING Jim Puterbaugh on Mk. 10: 10 -12: JP: "So that's answering the question of verse 2. What was the question? `Is it lawful for a man to divorce a wife? ' And Jesus says, `When you divorce and marry some body else, you commit adultery. ' That's a sin. Now he didn't say you're not married. He doesn't say God doesn't recognize the marriage. He just said when you did that you've sinned. That's all that passage teaches. And there's nothing in the grammar or the language that says that if you continue to be married you continue to commit adultery. It just says if you divorce and remarry you've sinned. "

Question: "In the New American Standard on verse 12, it says if she herself divorces her husband marries another man she is committing adultery. Is that referring to the initial. . . " (stops speaking as JP answers) JP: "It's referring to divorcing and marrying, that process divorce and marrying commits adultery. . Yeah, the argument is made that because it's present tense in Greek it's continuous, but that's not a valid argument. Present tense doesn't prove continuous action at all. . It proves an action, that's all. Context has to determine whether it's continuous or point action. " JP (later): "I've preached this for fifteen years. " JP (later): "That's why Jesus said `when you divorce and marry another' - it's just an understood thing, you divorce for the purpose of marrying another, and when you do that you commit adultery. In other words breaking this covenant and making a new covenant is sin. "(From tape of Jim Puterbaugh on MDR, "#3 of 3" transcribed by Steve Wallace, all emph mine, sw)

SOME FURTHER QUOTES FROM TAPES FROM BROTHER PUTERBAUGH: JP (later, speaking on 1 Cor. 7): "What I am saying is that any interpretation on any scripture in the Bible that precludes a man or a woman having a wife [sic] - under any circumstances - violates the teaching of the word of God. Because Paul says marriage is God's solution for not committing immorality. " JP: "You see God never condemned marriage; God condemned divorce. God hates divorce, not marriage. We've turned it around and said, `Well, okay, get a divorce if you can't get along but then you can't marry anymore. '"

Homer Hailey: “This universal moral law is the expression of God’s own character and will, determined in His purpose before creation as the standard for creatures to be made in His image (Eph. 1: 4 -5). That standard or law was made know to a degree at the time of Adam’s sin and following… It was revealed more fully and recorded in the Mosaic law; then revealed in its fullness…by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant under Christ…” (Homer Hailey, The Divorced and Remarried Who Would Come to God, p. 35, Nevada Publ. ) Stanley Paher: “Various religious thinkers see as many as seven distinct and often unrelated covenants, expressed in scripture between God and man…. Contrary to such notions, this chapter and those following develop a doctrine of one eternal/everlasting covenant for God’s people, initiated with the patriarch Abraham and extending to the present and into the future, forever and ever. This peace treaty rests squarely upon God’s timeless moral law, also called natural law. ” (Stanley Paher, The Eternal Covenant of Peace, p. 93)

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES (2) I. GOD HAS HAD MORE THAN ONE COVENANT DIFFERENT COVENANTS OF GOD: 1. Noah: “And, behold, I establish my covenant with you…” (Gen. 9: 8 -17) 2 Pet. 3: 5 -7 2. Abraham: “…The Lord made a covenant with Abram…” (Gen. 15: 18) Josh. 21: 43 -45 3. Israel: “The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. The Lord made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us…” (Deut. 5: 2 -3) 4. Abraham’s spiritual seed (Gen. 12: 3): “…I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah…” (Heb. 8: 8)

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES (2) I. GOD HAS HAD MORE THAN ONE COVENANT II. JEREMIAH 31: 31 -34 AND ONE COVENANT ADVOCATES "Indeed, Jeremiah's famous new (renewed) covenant of 31: 31 -34, first prophesied in about 593 BC was realized about 60 years later when God's people in the houses of Judah and Israel, to whom the covenant oracle was specifically addressed, returned from Babylonian exile. ” (Stanley Paher, The Eternal Covenant, p. 78).

"The New Covenant in Jeremiah 31: 31 -34 refers to God renewing his covenant first when the Jews came out of Babylonian captivity. To put the law in their hearts refers to Jer. 17: 1. God's law would replace the sin in their heart. There is no refer- ence to the Old Law and the New Law" (Jim Puterbaugh, Tape of "The Covenant", 2/6/ 95, quotes last two slides via Jim Mc. Donald, “Jeremiah 31 and the `One Covenant’ Controversy, ” Watchman Magazine, 2/00).

Hebrews 7 -10 show contrast and distinction between two covenants, not "unity" and “continuity. ” • The priesthood has changed necessitating a change of law (Hb. 7: 12). • Christ is the surety and mediator of a better covenant, enacted upon better promises (Hb. 7: 22; 8: 6). • He is the mediator of a New Covenant in which His death took place for the redemption of transgressions of those who were under the first (Hb. 9: 15). • The first covenant was dedicated with animal blood but the second was dedicated with the blood of God's Lamb, His Son (Hb. 9: 18 -20). • Had the first covenant been faultless, no place would have been sought for the second (Hb. 8: 7). • The fact that he said ”new" made the first "old, " nigh unto vanishing away (Hb. 8: 13). • Christ "took" away the first, that he might establish the second (Hb. 10: 9 ff).

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES (2) I. GOD HAS HAD MORE THAN ONE COVENANT II. JEREMIAH 31: 31 -34 AND ONE COVENANT ADVOCATES • Where is the record that Jeremiah 31 was fulfilled at the return from exile? Ezra 10: 2 ff • Jeremiah 31: 34, “I will forgive their iniquity, and their sins will I remember no more. ” Heb. 10: 1 -3

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES (2) I. GOD HAS HAD MORE THAN ONE COVENANT II. JEREMIAH 31: 31 -34 AND ONE COVENANT ADVOCATES III. WAS THE LAW NAILED TO THE CROSS?

THE LAW WAS NOT NAILED TO THE CROSS!! Wallace Little: "Colossians 2: 11 -14 deals in sin and salvation. Contextually verse 14 must mean that sin, NOT any law, was nailed to the cross. Verse 15 is transitional, leading to verses 16 -17 showing the ceremonial aspect of Mosaical Law is no longer binding. " He also criticizes those who say "God's universal moral law is a myth" (Gospel Truths, May, 1997, page 14, via Tom O’Neal, “Confusion on the Covenants, ” Watchman Magazine, 2/00, my emph, sw) Stanley Paher: “Similarly, Jesus did not blot out any law on the cross but removed its damning evidence…. But nothing ever happened to the law itself at the cross. ” (The Eternal Covenant of Peace, p. 176) Jim Puterbaugh: “Christ nailed no law to the cross. He only nailed sin to the cross. ” (letter circulated by Wallace Little, 1/96, via Jim Mc. Donald, A Review of Jim Puterbaugh’s Teaching on the One Covenant, p. 4)

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES (2) I. GOD HAS HAD MORE THAN ONE COVENANT II. JEREMIAH 31: 31 -34 AND ONE COVENANT ADVOCATES III. WAS THE LAW NAILED TO THE CROSS? Gal 3: 19; Eph. 2: 14 -15

Definition of the word covenant: Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon: "A disposition, arrangement, of any sort, which one wishes to be valid. . . a compact, covenant. . . the ark of the covenant or law, in which those tables were deposited, Heb. 9: 4. . . we find in the N. T. two distinct covenants spoken of (Gal. 4: 24), viz. the Mosaic and the Christian. . . This covenant Christ set up and ratified by undergoing death (Heb. 10: 29); my blood by the shedding of which the covenant is established (Mt. 26: 28). . . By metonymy of the contained for the container is used in 2 Co. 3: 14 of the sacred books of the O. T. because in them the conditions and principles of the older covenant were recorded" (pg. 136, 137). (all emph mine, sw)

The Bible’s Use of the Word “Covenant” 1. Covenants of promise: a. Gen. 9: 11 -15: Promise not to destroy world with a flood. b. Gen. 15: 18: The land promise to Abram. c. Ex. 6: 4 -5: Promise to Israel to give the land (cp. Lev. 26: 42; Judges 2: 1 -2). d. Gen. 17: 2 -4: Abraham's descendants to be multiplied. e. There were "promises" to Abraham - not just one promise (Gen. 12: 1 -3; Heb. 7: 6; Gal. 3: 16 -17; Eph. 2: 12).

The Bible’s Use of the Word “Covenant” 2. Covenants of law: a. Gen. 17: 9 -14: The covenant of circumcision. (It was both a covenant [law] and a sign of a special relationship, v. 11). b. Ex. 24: 7; 34: 27 -28: The "book of the covenant, " the "words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments. "(Cp. Deut. 4: 13; 5: 2, 3; 9: 9, 11, 15) c. 1 Kgs. 8: 9, 21: The ark of the covenant contained the ten commandments - not the spiritual promise. d. 2 Kgs. 23: 21: The Book of the Covenant (or of the Law, 2 Kgs. 22: 8) included teaching about the Passover. e. Psa. 78: 10: The covenant was "His law. "

THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES (2) I. GOD HAS HAD MORE THAN ONE COVENANT II. JEREMIAH 31: 31 -34 AND ONE COVENANT ADVOCATES III. WAS THE LAW NAILED TO THE CROSS? IV. JIM PUTERBAUGH AND JESUS’ DEATH, Ex. 24: 8; Matt. 26: 28; Heb. 9: 19 -23, 16 -17, 15 “Where in the Old Testament…is there a type set up for Jesus to die to institute as a testator a last will and testament? Did a priest provide a death in order to be the testator of a new will and testament? You see, that context is not in the Bible!” (from a series of taped sermons by Jim Puterbaugh on “One Covenant, ” 1995, via Jim Mc. Donald, A Review of Jim Puterbaugh’s Teaching on the One Covenant, p. 5)

"The Bible never precisely condemns polygamy. It's like slavery. God allowed slavery in the law of Moses and then slavery just disappears when we get over into Christianity. . . but is there a verse that says slavery is immoral? . . . Even in Philemon Paul doesn't condemn slavery. And that's the way I look at the concubines or polygamy, that they do not precisely violate moral law as God reveals it but once you have Christianity, it just seems to disappear, like slavery does. . . What about Abraham? He had a wife and a concubine under the universal, moral law, as it was. Was he in sin, then? He was under the universal, original law and was he in sin? I think we'd all have to say that he, that we couldn't say he was in a state of sin that was going to keep him from going to heaven, at least. . . that's the only way I know how to deal with it. . . I just confess to you that it is a struggle, that it is a problem. "(Puterbaugh, MDR tapes, via Mc. Donald, ibid. , p. 8, my emph, sw)
