[TruthTalk] Heavy Yoke Light Yoke

[Judy Taylor]

From: "Slade Henson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No I do not agree. I see one covenant from God... Avraham's. I will explain in a few days.   slade   jt: But what about what David Miller writes - wisdom from the Spirit of God by way of the apostle Paul - Abraham had two sons and the child of the flesh stayed in a fritz with the child of promise continually do you just dismiss this?   So the yoke of bondage is the covenant that comes from mount Sinai and continued in Jerusalem at this time.  It is represented by the slave woman Hagar and her child.  Paul sees TWO COVENANTS.  Do you agree?   I can certainly see how legalism is a part of this, just as we might say the letter of the law was part of this, but there is this bigger picture that must be dealt with, and that is the idea of covenant as a basis of relationship with God.  One either derives his family relationship with God from Hagar / Sinai / Torah / Jerusalem or he derives his relationship from Sarah / Heavenly Mount Zion / Jesus Christ / Heavenly Jerusalem.  Maybe we are saying the same thing with different words.  Let me know your thoughts, specifically about the question of two covenants.  I'm still waiting to hear your answer about Romans 7 also.
