There are many covenants mentioned in the bible. I haven't counted, but the word covenant occurs hundreds of times. Someone else can count, but there are five that are noteworthy.

Edenic Covenant - Still in force
Rainbow Covenant - Still in force
Abrahamic Covenant - Still in force
Law Covenant - Fulfilled by Jesus
New Covenant - Instituted by Jesus upon the eve of his Sacrifice and still in force.

So, the question is what are you talking about?

Do you know? Or are you just trying to start that 463 page thread?

Actually Wikipedia lists the covenants as...

Noahic convenant (which is the equivalent of your Rainbow covenant)
Abrahamic Covenant
Covenant with Lot
Covenant with Jacob
Mosaic Covenant
Israel Covenant (conditional)
Davidic Covenant

As well as naming National Covenants, Personal Covenants and the New Covenant.

That's not a rabbit. It's Noishe from Tales of Symphonia. And that's Kratos riding him into battle, coz Noishe is huge... like a horse. Probably hung like one too, but we never find out.

Exactly. And what happens when we grow up? We change. So god changed. And if God changed at that point, then how do we know he hasn't changed since the new testament was written? It's been about 2000 years since those gospels were written, so how can any preacher or bible thumper possibly claim to know what God really wants now, when they're going by some book that was written so long ago? Maybe god decided that gay people are cool back in the 1500s or something. Maybe he's the one who actually made them decide in Roe V Wade that abortion should be legal. It's been a long time. God might have changed over these 2 millenia, so maybe people shouldn't be taking his two-thousand-year-old words as if they were etched in stone.

Wikipedia is nice. But there are many other covenants of varying importance. I see the Edenic covenant was left out. This is important because it foretells the head bruising (fatal bruising) of the serpent by Jesus. This is still in force and is necessary in light of God's justice. The Abrahamic covenant foretold that Jesus would be a descendant of Abraham AND that ALL the nations would benefit from his acts. There were, indeed, covenants with lot and Jacob - also others. The Mosaic covenant, also referred to as the law covenant, was not meant to be permanent. Paul referred to it as the tutor leading to Christ (Galatians 3:24) Jesus referred to his role in fulfilling the law, (Matthew 5:17)

Jesus then restated the essence of the law as to love God and love ones neighbor as oneself (Luke 10:27)

More to it, of course. But that should help us along to the 463.
