Deu 5:1  And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and observe to do them.
  2  Jehovah our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
  3  Jehovah made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day. ASV

  This passage is DEATH to the notion that God "gave the covenant" to Adam, Noah, Abraham, the Canaanites or anybody else before Israel or that the Ten Commandments are the "eternal unchanging law of God binding on all men in all ages". People who say that either never read this passage or else they are deliberately contradicting God's words in this passage in which case they are no Christians! This one passage is sufficient to sound the Death Knell to Covenant Theology and/or anybody else that claims any of the above false propositions! God made His Ten Commandment Covenant with no one else but the children of Israel who were present when Moses spoke these words. The Covenant of Ten Commandments ~did not exist~ until Sinai and anybody who says otherwise is contradicting Scripture.
