In our discussion of the Sabbath, the subject of covenants came up from time to time.
It is vital to a proper understanding of the Word of God to know what the Bible says in answer to the question "How many covenants were made by God with man?" It has been suggested by some of the participants in our discussion that the "Bible is its own best interpreter". If this is indeed true, and I firmly believe it is, then we must allow it to do so. When we do it is then possible to "rightly divide the scriptures" as Paul admonished the young preacher Timothy. (II Timothy 2:15)
So put on your search lights and see how the Bible answers these questions.
1. How many covenants were made by God with man?
2. When and with whom were they made?
3. What covenant is in force today?
As always give scriptural support for your answers. Happy searching.

Josiah, Well, so far I'm into I Sam. and I have God and Noah; Genesis 6:18-9:19 and thereabouts. God and Abraham (or Abram, which ever the case maybe); Gen. 15:18 and several other places following. God and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; Exodus 2:24. God and children of Israel; Ex. 6:4, and Deut. 5:3. God and Aaron; Numbers 25:12.
As for today...God through Jesus to us Luke 22:20 (for example) and Heb. chapter 8 (for example). That should be a start. Deboraw
