Yet, the Bible says that this isn’t necessary, and should be a concern for a Christian, as the only blood covenant we should enter in is with Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 9:12 – He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption

Also, didn’t Jesus caution us about people like Lee Manhee making these types of blood covenants?

Matthew 5:34-37 – But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.  And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.  All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

The 12 Tribes Communities, often referred to simply as the “12 Tribes,” is a religious cult founded in the 1970s by Gene Spriggs (Yoneq) in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The group combines elements of fundamentalist Christianity, Messianic Judaism, and communal living. They emphasize a strict interpretation of the Bible, particularly focused on recreating the “12 tribes of Israel” as part of their vision of fulfilling biblical prophecy.

The 12 Tribes Communities hold a set of core beliefs centered on the restoration of the ancient tribes of Israel, as they see this as a necessary step in preparing for the return of Jesus. According to their teachings, members are divided into communal living groups, with each group symbolizing one of the 12 tribes. This structure reflects their interpretation of biblical prophecy and their conviction that they are uniquely chosen to fulfill it.

A fundamental aspect of their lifestyle is communal living. Members of the 12 Tribes renounce personal possessions and live together in shared communities. This way of life emphasizes unity among members and a deliberate separation from mainstream society, which they view as corrupt and incompatible with their spiritual mission.

The group teaches that salvation is only possible through joining their community and adhering to their strict interpretation of biblical principles. They believe that their communal and religious practices are the sole path to achieving true understanding and favor with God. These practices include a strict adherence to Old Testament laws, such as observing the Sabbath, following dietary restrictions, and even using corporal punishment to discipline children.

The 12 Tribes also holds an esoteric view of the end times, believing that they play a vital and unique role in bringing about the fulfillment of prophecy. They teach that Jesus will return only after the complete restoration of the 12 tribes has been accomplished, a task they claim is their divine mission.

Additionally, the group asserts exclusive spiritual authority, claiming that only through their teachings and way of life can the true understanding of the Bible and God’s will be realized. This exclusivity extends to their rejection of mainstream Christianity, which they view as apostate and spiritually bankrupt. They regard themselves as the only true representation of God’s people on Earth.

These core beliefs form the foundation of the 12 Tribes’ identity and practices, distinguishing them as a group that sees itself as the fulfillment of a unique and divinely mandated mission.
