If you read Isaiah 1 in total (which I did for content purposes) God is very upset with the evil that His people are practicing. Because of that evil, He does not accept their sacrifices and their feasts. They were not following the Lord in the way that he had commanded.
You are right. We have broken the covenant. But if you look at Malachi God asks for us to return to Him. Verse 7- 10 "From the days of your fathers you have turned away from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me and I will return to you," says the Lord of hosts." But you say, 'How shall we return?'" Because we have returned to God by following the commands that he set up in the first place we are in covenant with Him again. It is a renewed covenant.
I want you to know that I have read every single word
you have written and I have put thought to my
responses. Sometimes the arguments that you bring up
are arguments that I have had to answer before. I do
not just blow you off (my words).
I am thankful that you are trying your best to help me
see what you believe to be true. This is what I am
trying to do as well. I know exactly what you are
feeling when I "fail" to see your point. I feel the
same thing. I am praying the same thing for you.. that
you would have an open mind and that God would teach
you in the future what you need to learn.
What I think it comes down to is this. We all have to
make an account for our words and actions and the lack
thereof. I am responsible to live what I believe or I
will be a hypocrite.
