Don't Mix The New Covenant With The Old Covenant

Matt 9
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the new patch tears away from the garment, & a worse tear is made

17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst & the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. New wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved

Mark 2
21 No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new patch tears away from it, the new from the old, & a worse tear is made

22 No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins & the wine is destroyed, & so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins

Luke 5
36 He also told them a parable: No one tears a piece from a new garment & puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, & the piece from the new will not match the old.

37 No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins & it will be spilled, & the skins will be destroyed

Old garments & OLD wine = Old Covenant = Works thru Law keeping.

New garments & NEW wine = New Covenant = By Grace thru Faith

Lesson: Dont Mix the 2
Lk 39 Pharisee's want to keep the OLD. See (Matt 23:13, 23:37-39) to see what Jesus thought about them

Jesus healed & forgave: sickness, people with demons, people caught in adultery (back then this carried the death penalty!) Yet, He forgave them. He constantly rebuked & reproved the Law loving Pharisee's

Rev 3
15 I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot!

16 So, because you are lukewarm & neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

Hot = New Covenant = By Grace thru Faith

Cold = Old Covenant = Works thru Law keeping

Lesson: Mixing the two (Hot & Cold) covenants makes the Christ, want to throw-up (Rev 3:16)

So don't mix the works of the old covenant. And the GRACE of the New covenant.

This is the heart of many misunderstandings and false teaching. Many can't get over the fact that there is nothing they can do to earn salvation so they replace it by works of the law and its seen on this site time and again in many guises
