Where do you get that Moses gave the Old Covenant?
Exo 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.
God gave the Old Covenant...
Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
Exo 19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
Exo 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Exo 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Exo 19:6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Moses was just the transcriptionist here.

You are less likely to commit sin if you are around
someone who is trying to less likely commit sin.
Obeying the commandments of God will cause you to less likely commit sin.
This is a fact.
This is truth.
And when you less likely commit sin
You will more likely be closer to God.
NOW WHO CAN ARGUE WITH THIS?

The thing is JH that what is the purpose of your aggressive behavior? Do you not want to fulfill the commission given to us by Jesus to spread the gospel and help save souls? You come in with guns blazing calling all the brothers and sisters sinners which we are by the way including you. But where is the love? I don't feel that you know or love God. So how can you help to spread the gospel and obey the commandments which all 10 are about love. Love and loyalty to God in the first 4 and love and brotherhood in the last 6?
Physician, heal thyself.
Is Jesus divine, one of the three persons of the one God?
Did Jesus' sacrificial death propitiate for the sin of those who believe in him?
Does faith in Jesus' propitiation give one a guiltless, rightwise standing before God?
Does the obedience of faith by the power of Holy Spirit sanctify and transform one into the image of Christ?
Does God forgive the confessed sin of the born again, his children?
Does seeking righteousness according to the law condemn or make righteous?
Give an account of thyself.

Did you notice, in your rush to impugn me, that the passage, in context, deals with the promise of eternal life, not a fearsome worry that it can be lost through sin? Well, of course you did, and you were hoping no one else would notice, either. Either that, you just subscribe to bad doctrine.
Who were you saying teaches a false doctrine?
1 John 2, NASB
25 This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
28 Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not hrink away from Him in shame at His coming. [Emphasis mine]

Can't read plain English, huh? Can't help you, then. But I'll try to break it down for you in simpler terms so you might understand.
The believer is guided by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. The believer is not bound by the Old Testament Law or the rules of legalists, including those who would claim that we must generate righteousness ourselves (Gal. 5:1, 25). Liberty in Christ is not an excuse for sin (Rom. 13:13-14; 6:1-13; Gal. 5:13), but God’s grace teaches us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly desires and should live sensible, righteous, and godly lives for the sake of Christ, not our salvation(Titus 2:11-13).
Saved people should live in such a way that they do not bring reproach to the name of Christ. Separation from religious apostasy (of which you and others who claim salvation can be lost are guilty), compromise, sinful and worldly practices, and unscriptural associations is clearly commanded in God's Word (2 Tim. 3:1-5; 1 John 2:15-17; 2 John 9-11; 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1). If a person is truly saved, he not only should, but will, manifest a life of constant obedience to the Word of God (1 John 2:3-5), a fervent love for other believers (1 John 3:14-19; 4:7, 20) and a daily walk that is characterized by righteousness and Christlikeness (Gal. 5:22-23; 1 John 2:29; 3:10).
Author Brennan Manning, whose best known work is The Ragamuffin Gospel, said , "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable." Christians must live in Christlikeness, but not out of fear of losing something they had nothing to do with gaining in the first place. We do it because we love Christ, it benefits our faith, and it draws others near to Him.
The biggest difference in you and me is I don’t live in fear. You do. And if you say you don’t, then you have just denied this false gospel you preach.
