How many Covenants and how many gospels?

[Rondo]

If not for the unconditional tenets of the Abrahamic Promise, the New Covennat would have no adoption to claim when the Old Covenant became obsolete. The major hurdle in the SDA theology is the belief that no discontinuity happened at the cross and the inability of the church to understand that each covenant has their own tenets, not selecting what seems nice an what doesn't seem nice. OBSOLETE is a pretty tough word to pick and choose from the Old Covenant.

Also, because Jeremiah talks of the Law being written in the heart and not stone, SDAs assume it is the same law, yet when it is pointed out that the Old Covenant is the Law, the whole Torah, they don't believe God is being unchanging. When the Flood happened didn't he say:

Quote:

Gen 6: 6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them."

Doesn't this show God changed His mind or through HIS forknowledge he chose to destroy all but certain animal and Noah and his family. Is this an unchangeable God???? Doesn't this show that the New Covenant could have a New Law or set fo standards than the Old Law that are obsolete.

To say that SDA theology does not recognize some discontinuity between the OC & the NC is totally false. If what you are saying is true, SDAs would still be sacrificing animals!

You say that OBSOLETE is "pretty tough word to pick and choose from, yet you are doing that exact same thing! You recognize that there are unconditional aspects to the OT covenants, but the part that is everlasting you want to make temporary & obsolete, and the ones that were temporary & obsolete, you want to attribute to SDAs as making them permanent!

What is the permanent aspect that runs through all the period covenants that is a constant in the gospel and everlasting covenant? Is it not faith and obedience? All the saved throughout history have to meet these requirements We accept/receive the covenant/gospel by faith. And obedience to what? Is it not the same law given to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, the disciples and Paul? It cannot be otherwise, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God does not change.
