Is Covenant One-Sided

[Maddog]

Referrring back to Ezekiel 16:8, Yahweh made a covenant but nothing is said or hinted at a covenant that His wife made. Should we make additional requirements for joining that Yah didnt define? -m

Ezekiel 16:8 is not chronological... The bathing in water would be the crossing of the red sea. The covenant would be made at Mt. Sinai.

A covenant can be undertaken by an individual, by two persons, or by a group. Just because something is done one way doesn't require everyone to do it the same. God established a covenant with Abraham differently than Abraham established with Abimelech, for example. I think we need to be careful about placing restrictions or requirements on people that God doesn't place.
