Hello!
Welcome to the blog Brit chadashah!
I hope that you will learn from this website of what the Creator requires of you in order to be included and to stay included in the brit chadashah.
Yeshua and brit chadashah?
To understand what the first century historical person Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiach – the Messiah – taught it is essential to learn the language of the Tan’’kh (which Christians call the “OT”). The meaning of many words have changed since the time they were written down; and it is important to learn the original meaning in order to understand the Tan’’kh. Some of these etymological definitions are found in the website of www.netzarim.co.il ; click on “Glossaries” in the main page. And they are also available in the different ‘Parashat ha-Shavua’ found in the Calender-section of the same website (in the left menu).
I also recommend ‘A comphrensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew language for English readers’ by Ernest Klein.
According to the prophecy of Yirmeyahu 31 the renewed covenant would be a covenant in which Torah was observed. So lets’ study and find out what is written in the Torah about forgiveness, so you can compare it with your beliefs.
What really did the Jewish Bible (which Christians calls the ”OT”) teach about forgiveness?
Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh – the Messiah – lived and practised the directives of Torah with an upright heart, he died innocent and became a sacrifice. Because of this can the Perfect Creator give His forgiveness in His lovingkindness for the shortcomings – in keeping the directives of Torah – of all that are doing their utmost to follow the directives of the Creator in His Torah
This is in accordance with that which is written in Yekhezeqeil [”Ezekiel”] chapter 18 (in Hebrew) in the Jewish Bible. The Creator promises to forgive those whom previously have conciously breached a directive of the Torah – for example breached against the prohibition towards eating shellfish – and whom stop committing their Torah-transgressions; and instead starts doing their utmost to keep the directives of Torah non-selectively to the best of their ability.
This is good news!! It is possible to be forgiven by the Creator in His loving kindness when one does his/her utmost to live as the Creator desires!
According to the Jewish Bible (which Christians calls the ”OT”) a person whom willfully rejects a directive of the Torah and who doesn’t turn around, won’t receive any forgiveness (according to Yeshayahu [”Isaiah”] 1:17-18, Yekhezeqeil [”Ezekiel”] 18 and more verses in Hebrew). This persons will according to the Jewish Bible not enter into the Realms of the Heavens.
It is good news that you got a knowledge of this – not bad news!!
Now you know that you are required to do changes in your lifestyle, and instead start living in the way the Creator desires. This I also found out for more than 3,5 years ago and I then did the necessary changes.
If you are interested in following the historical Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh [the Messiah] you will need to take this course [click on this link], which will teach you of how to observe the directives of Torah non-selectively, which the Creator requires of you and me in His Torah.
The covenant – New or renewed?
According to the above dictionary:
Khadash: new
Khodesh: New moon, month [From the word khadash.]
So when there come a new moon, does that mean that there was something completely new that replaced the new moon? For example, that it was replaced by a cheese?
None of the previous new covenants (for example the covenant signed when the Israelis were at Mount Sinai) in the Tan’’kh was contradictory to the previous covenant/s, so one shouldn’t expect this from the covenant in Yirmeyahu 31 either. One should expect a covenant in consistent with the other covenant, i.e. a covenant which requires those that belong to it to keep Torah non-selectively to their utmost.
“Further, there is no implication of any significant difference in kind or radical change in direction inherent in the adjective “new.” Even in English, “new” doesn’t imply (logically) significant difference in kind or radical change in direction. If someone with one or more children tells you that their wife had a “new” baby, no reasonable person coming to see the “new” baby would be shocked that it isn’t a camel or a begonia. Even when a shampoo company advertises an “all new” formula, you would be quite upset if you looked in the mirror after using it and discovered their “new” formula – even though it was advertised as “all new” – was a permanent hair removal cream!
Hebrew is even less ambiguous. חדש (khâdâsh) is a masc. sing. adj. meaning “new.” Because ברית (berit) is a fem. sing. noun, Hebrew grammar requires that the adj. match in number and gender: the fem. sing. חדשה(khadâshâh).
Assuming the weight of evidence wrong is a logical fallacy called argumentum ad ignorantiam; in modern parlance, proofshift. Whenever there is a known state, anyone wishing to claim a change in that state assumes the burden of proving that change. The burden of proof never shifts to require showing a known state continues to be the same. “ [Quote: Who are the Netzarim
Logic places the burden of proof on those arguing for a religion which is inconsistent with the Torah to prove their religion, not on defenders of Torâh to prove that the Torah is still valid and mandatory for all mankind to observe.

Brit chadashah and Torah?
According to the Torah a person who rejects any directive/s of the Torah – e.g. eats pork and/or shellfish – will not be forgiven by the Creator in His loving kindness. Only when he/she repents and stops breaching this directive/s, will the Creator forgive him/her in His loving kindness. This is in accordance with Yekhezeqeil (“Ezekiel”) 18 in Hebrew and many other verses.
I would recommend you to follow the Mashiakh. Following the teachings of the human Messiah called Ribi Yehoshua leads oneself into non-selectively Torah-observance to ones utmost, including an immensely meaningful relationship with the Creator.
