did the covenants attach the land forever?

Yes. Restrictive Covenants are set in the property deeds when it is first built and stay in the deeds no matter who the owner is.

God had specifically told Noah and his family to spread out and fill the earth. In rebellion, probably under the lead of Nimrod( first human dictator) The people began to cluster into cities, instead of spreading out. The tower was built to make a celebrated name for the Builders and to keep them from spreading out. Actually God did not destroy the building. His confusing the languages effectively stopped the work, and caused the builders to spread earth wide. Genesis 9:1 and  11:1-10

yes, in a way it already has.\n\nthere is a missing day in the history of the world.they went back an did all there cauculations and found there was.\n\nin the Bible there is one part were Jashua is fighting an he asks God to make the sun an moon stant still.\nand He did until they won.\nanother place a man was asking God if he would live to be older, an as a sign , the shadows would go backwords for a certain amout of time.\n\ntheologists have found that the time in both of these incodents have added up to exactly 1 day.\n\nCoincedence?

No.  In fact God said that the Law was "eternal", "unto all generations", etc.  If Paul taught it was done away with then he would be claiming Scripture was false.  \n\nIn fact in Matthew 5:17ff Yeshua said the He did not come to do away with Torah and that even if heaven and earth passed away, not the smallest stroke of Torah would go away.\n\nThere are requirements in Torah, (to love your neighbor for example) that we are expected to fulfill.  Yeshua fulfilled every requirement of Torah upon Him.  So be like Him.\n\nRead Matthew 5:17-20 and see that Messiah said that if you teach that even the smallest of the commandments is done away with you become least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But those of us who teach others to keep the commandments will be called "great" in the Kingdom of Heaven.

A covenant is an irrevocable contract.  That one partner in a covenant abrogates its terms, by no means nullifies it, but rather subjects that party to the penalties stated in any such covenant.  God is faithful and keeps up His part of every convenant.  Man, on the other hand, is not so and has suffered the consequences since day 6.

Good question! \n\nFirst of all, they didn't have any children until they were expelled from the Garden.\n\nIt would SEEM that the brothers and sisters would have to marry each other (ick), since the Bible says this is the only family on Earth.\n\nOf course, when Cain murdered Abel, the Bible also says that he went off to live with people in the land of Nod . . . so where did those people come from?!?!\n\nWhat?  The Bible internally inconsistent?!?!?  Shocking!!!

Yes, I have. I think it's completely wrong to think that the Jews have to keep the law while we have to believe in Jesus. Jeremiah 31 says that God would make a completely new covenant with the Jews that would be different than the one he made when he brought them out of Egypt. Therefore, there is only one true covenant, and that's the New one --- Christianity.

Beth is correct about what dictionary.com says.  But the entry does not say anything about how that Old English word came about.  But if you look the word up in the Oxford English Dicionary, the very first example given is a citation of Genesis 9:13 from the year 1000.\n\nThat is, the earliest attested use in English is indeed the Biblical use.\n\nWhy a BOW? In the story of Genesis 9, God is speaking immediately after Noah's Flood and promising that he will never send another flood to destroy the whole earth.  He announces the rainbow as a sign of this solemn promise ("covenant"):\n\nGen 9:12-16  And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: \nI have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.  When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." \n\nThe image is simply this -- God has been 'waging war'** against rebellious humanity.  The bow is an image of making war.  But now God says he will set aside his bow, and not use it (and he'll put it where all can see --including HIM-- that he has set it aside!\n\n**The Bible speaks in several places of God's "arrows". These can be various sorts of judgments: famine, calamity, pestilence, illness (Deteronomy 32:23-24, Ezekiel 5:16, Psalm 38:2-3). In some cases 'arrows' stands for lightning bolts (Psalms 18:14, 144:6)\n\n(There are other examples of "signs" of covenants and treaties in the Bible and the surrounding countries of the Ancient Near East.   These signs function as a VISIBLE reminder to the parties of the promise they have made and/or of some curse or judgment they wish on whoever breaks their covenant promise.  In fact, the idea of "signs of the covenant" comes over into Christianity in the "Lord's Supper" [or 'Eucharist] where the bread and wine are presented as the body and blood of Christ, signs of the "new covenant" Jesus made.)

It all goes back to Abraham and Ishmeal. The fighting and feuding won't ever end. Read Genesis to see the proof.....

From the River of Egypt to the great river Euphrates - God’s Promise of Land to Israel -\n\nAbraham (Abram) was in the heart of the area, sometimes referred to as the West Bank, between Bethel and Ai, in the mountains of Israel (Eze.37:22 below), when the Lord promised him the Land (Gen.13:17 below).  The boundaries of the Land promised to Abraham were from the river of Egypt to the great river Euphrates (Gen.15:18 below).\n \nThe promise passed from Abram to Isaac to Jacob and to his seed after him, a multitude of people (Gen.17:`9, Gen.28:3-4, Gen.28:13 below). \n\nIn the “new” earth (Re.21:1, Isa.65:17) Judah and the children of Israel (Eze.37:14-21 below) will be one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel (Eze.37:22, Gen.15:18 below), the land promised for an EVERLASTING COVENANT from Abram, Isaac and Jacob with his seed after him, and David, God’s servant, shall be one king to them all, their prince FOR EVER (Eze.37:22-25 below) \n\nGen.13:17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.\n\nGen.15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:\n\nGen.17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, [and] WITH HIS SEED AFTER HIM (Gen.28:13 below).\n\nGen.28:3 And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;\n\nGen.28:4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee (Gen.17:19 above, Gen.28:13 below); that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.\n\nGen.28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am] the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee (Jacob – Eze.37:25 below)  will I give it, AND TO THY SEED (Gen.17:19 above);\n\n\nIsrael in their own land in the “new” Earth -\n\nRe.21:1And I saw a NEW heaven and a NEW earth (Isa.65:17 below, Re.21:5): for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away (Re.20:11, Dan.2:35, 2 Pe.3:10); and there was no more sea (Dan.7:3, Dan.7:17, Isa.66:24).\n\nIsa. 65:17For, behold, I create NEW heavens and a NEW earth (Re.21:1 above): and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.\n\n\nEze.37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.\n\nEze.37:13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,\n\nEze.37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land (Eze.37:21 below): then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.\n\nEze.37:15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,\n\nEze.37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:\n\nEze.37:17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand (Eze.37:19 below).\n\nEze.37:18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou [meanest] by these?\n\nEze.37:19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.\n\nEze.37:20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before thei

Yep science knows it but has the time wrong.  The bible says that God pulled one land mass out of the ocean and then two generations after the flood of Noah, he divided it.\n\nThat is if you believe the bible.  If you dont than I guess Moses just had a lucky guess.

No.  They were separate creation of God that did not survive the flood.  They were sub-human species.  They were not in the human line of Adam.  They undoubtedly lived along side man and had some of the same features and habits, but that is where the similarities end.

Hebrews 8:13 In speaking of an old covenant which is to vanish, that is the covenat he had mad with the israelites,he now makes a new covenant, the first one is now obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.\n\n1Corinthians 13:8 looked forward to the perfect word of God, after which time prophecies, tongues, and words of nowledge would pass away.

Pslams 37\n  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.\n10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.\n11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.\n29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.  King James Bible\n\nThese scriptures show what King David's hope was of the future, when he will be remembered in the resurrection sometime in the future.\n\nThis was God's purpose in the beginning and still is his purpose for the earth & mankind.

elven rangers: could you please list any of these treaties you claim Israel broke? The UN passed a vote in 1947 for the creation of the Jewish State of Israel.  The Arab nations that surround Israel refused to accept the UN borders, and Israel agreed to accept the UN borders.  The Arabs then started fighting the newborn Israel, and Israel shockingly won.  \nWho's breaking agreements here?\nTHis was the beginning of a pattern...
