Over the years since I have come to Covenant Theology my knowledge of the old covenant as expanded greatly and I have gained more respect for the old covenant saints with their lives and even their theology which is also our theology.
Dispensationalism tends to try to totally dis connect us from the old covenant saints and the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
But...
Why is it that even covenantalist today seem to try to dis connect from the old covenant faith far more then the original Reformers. They tend not to dis connect as much as the dispensationalist but there seems in my mind a dis connect among today's covenantalist.. Is it because alot of today's covenantalist tend to have come out of dispensational theology and so tend to have some left over bagage or is it something else?
Why is it that we tend to dis connect from the saints of old when they tend to do things contrary to our minds and society yet not prohibited from God?
Are we better then the old covenant saints? More holier then thou? Abraham was saved by faith as well the other old testament saint. We should respect these men and even follow in their footsteps and be not holier then thou then father Abraham.
Where God has spoken let us do his commands, Where God is silient we too also must be silient...... Other wise we turn into Pharisees......
