Old Covenant or New Covenant and the Law

[TheCatholic]

I'm trying to figure out why some people keep referring to "old covenant" when there are five distinct covenants in the Old Testament. As I said in my first post:

You do realize, don't you, that there are six covenants in the Bible?

Adamic (established with Adam )
Noahic (established with Noah )
Abrahamic (established with Abraham )
Mosaic (established with Moses )
Davidic (established with David )
New Covenant (established by Christ )

To enter into a covenant is to enter into a Family. That is part of Jewish culture. To enter into THESE covenants is to enter into the Family of God.

Readers will note that each covenant encompasses a larger and larger group of people: A man & wife, a family, a tribe, twelve tribes, a kingdom, and finally the whole world.

This was God's plan of salvation from the beginning, which was to bring more and more people back into a relationship with him.

This is the key to understanding authentic Christianity, and to understanding the Church, which today is the Family of God, the People of God.

Catholic - Hebrews 8:7 is referring to which Covenant then?

Likely the Mosaic/Davidic Covenant, since that was the Covenant Jews were under at that time

Interesting that it merely calls it the "old covenant".

Not really, if that was the only other covenant they had been a part of
