What is a blood covenant?
Post a good working definition of the word "covenant".
Post some of your comments/thoughts about the "blood covenant" as the phrase
appears in the verses below.
The Cross of Calvary is forever connected to the shed blood of the Lord Jesus.
There are some preachers who never mention the shed blood of the
Lord Jesus or the Cross. They do NOT make the Cross the central theme of their
sermons.
There is one "big name preacher" (Joel Osteen) that does not make the shed
blood or the Cross the central theme of his sermons. I have listened to many
of his sermons and I know that he does not make the "blood of the covenant"
a central theme of his ministry. Joel Osteen, as a general rule, talks about
everything but the shed blood of the Lord Jesus and the Cross of Calvary.
(Not saying Joel does not believe in the shed blood of Calvary or the Cross,
I'm only saying Joel Osteen does not make these major themes in his sermons.)
