As I understand it...According to Roth's Messianc doctrines, "The New Covenant", is really not "New" in the sence of something totally other than "The Former Covenant", but a "Re-Newing" of "The Former Covenant" and making it "Better". If this understanding is true, this line of reasoning helps with the other teachings his group holds to, that says one must keep The Torah to be sanctified, something I have heard told personally. Well, at least as much of The Torah as would apply to them today, with The Temple no longer standing and The Levitical Priesthood being ceased and such things as relate to it...so they really just keep as much as they believe should be kept, as other Christians or "Christo-Pagans" as they are sometimes refered to by some, also keep the parts of The Torah (the moral law) that they believe applies to them today and not the rest which they believe don't in both cases it's a matter of picking and choosing, which ones are applicable. Mr. Roth has a long list in the AENT of those laws he believes all believers in Messiah should be keeping...and it's much, much, much, longer than the list that The Apostles wrote down at the council of Jerusalem in about 50 A.D., that they sent to all the Gentiles who were coming to faith in Messiah, by the power of The Holy Spirit.
