Covenant part 2
Hym "So. THAT is what GOD said. And much like the Pizza Hut website, when I order a pizza... I DON'T NEED TO PHYSICALLY SIGN MY NAME. Humanity has already set a precedent for itself that states: 'In doing *blank* you are agreeing to the terms of service.' And MY covenants states: 'In USING MY WORK you, therefore, agree to the terms of service. And if one of you signs it, it as good as all of you signing it.' ULTIMATE 'IN FOR A PENNY, IN FOR A POUND' CONTRACT! Signed (with love) by the whole of humanity. Now... HOW DOES THAT REFLECT ON YOUR GOD'S CHARACTER for you to lie about, cheat or weasel your way out of, and violate a contract that is predicated on a precedent that you both SET and ENFORCE (Sometimes on other Christians)? I mean, OF WHAT is it the God? God of the harvest? God of Light? Oh! I know! Lying-cheat-weasel God of violation! I mean, even to retroactively change the precedent would violate the Imaginary Caveat Clause! It doesn't look good guys. Ok. Let's see what happens if you violate a covenant..."
The Bible says that breaking a covenant is a serious sin with severe consequences, including divine judgment, as it is a breach of trust and faithfulness. God is portrayed as consistently faithful, but he also warns of punishment for those who break their promises, which can include curses, loss of life and property, and exclusion from blessings.

Old Testament
Punishment for covenant-breaking: The Old Testament contains many warnings about the consequences of breaking a covenant.
In Leviticus 26, God threatens to bring panic, wasting disease, and other curses on those who do not obey Him and break His covenant (vv. 14–16).
Jeremiah 34 describes how God would treat those who violated the covenant they made. He says He will deliver them to their enemies, and their dead bodies will become food for animals, as a consequence of the way they had broken their pledge.
Symbolic of broken promises: The Bible sometimes uses symbols to illustrate the seriousness of breaking a covenant.
The act of cutting a calf in two and walking between its pieces was a symbolic way of making a covenant. Breaking this covenant was described as being treated like the calf that was cut in two.
Examples of broken vows:
The prophet Ezekiel warns of a king who "despised the oath by breaking the covenant" and states that "Because he had given his hand in pledge and yet did all these things, he shall not escape" (Ezekiel 17:18-19).
New Testament
Jesus' teachings on integrity: The New Testament continues the theme of keeping one's word, but with a focus on personal integrity.
Jesus teaches, "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil" (Matthew 5:37), which reinforces the idea that a person's word should be trustworthy. Covenant part 2
