[Octavius]

I'm a lover of the Reformed Faith. More so the Scottish Presbyterian rendition of the Reformed Faith.
My standatd is the Bible.
My summary of the Bible, the Westminster Confession of Faith.
I have sworn to the Solemn League and Covenant.
I am not a Covenanter.

Any thoughts?

Kind regards,

Octavius

Awesome, you are dispensational, then? :rithumb:

[Octavius]

er..no. I'm not a Covenanter, but I am covenantal. Big difference :ahem:

Dispensationalism-- "boo"!

Ahhh. Not sure what a Covenanter is, then. :smile:

(Dispensationalism - "yay!")

[Octavius]

Covenental means that I DO believe that the Bible is to be understood convenantally , as one covenant down through all dispensations. The ppl of the OT were also covenental. :teeth:

Hope this helps a bit.

Kind regards,
Octavius

Oops. Forgot to mention that Covenanters were a select group of Scottish Presbyterians who had a certian kind of interpretation of the Solemn League & Covenant. I won't bore (sp?) you with the details. I can hardly keep my eyes open just writing this.

:wink:

Kind regards

I'm aware of that. (And aware that the Gentiles in the OT, on the other hand, were not covenental. And that a new covenant was promised, thereby showing that one covenant would not be passed down through all dispensations.) LOL

But, I asked what Covenanter meant. :smile:

[bar Jonah]

Ah ha, gotcha. Very well, then. :rithumb:

[Octavius]

very well :smile:

Congratulations, you two have just completed an entire conversation without saying anything that has the slightest meaning to me. And you're not even talking about Quantum Physics or something really way out there. That is some achievement.

(No, don't try to explain ....)

:huh: What is the Solemn League and Covenant?

Why do I feel that I've just listened to some politicians? :)
Yes, please give more definitions of your terms.

What about Noah's covenant?

[learning]

oh, oh, I know that one! :)
Genesis 9:1-17 and also Gen 8:21,22.

[Timothy Leary]

Aren't they repeated in your scriptures too? Like in the book of Acts or something like that?

[learning]

Why should they be repeated? Are they not for everyone since this was before Abraham?
Anyways, they probably are, but I don't know where exactly, other than the promise of Noah, I think it is in other places in the New Testament, like in the letters of Peter and John near the back, or Hebrews, or other places. What exactly were you looking for? The whole thing or it referred to in bits? I think Paul does refer to it in his letters, though Acts was written by Luke, I think it is brought up a bit in the Gentile rules that the first church decided to give to them.

Mt 24:37 - "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.

Mt 24:38 - "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

Lu 17:26 - "And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Lu 17:27 - they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

Heb 11:7 - By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

1Pe 3:20 - who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

2Pe 2:5 - and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
