Your statement does not make sense to me. The mosaic Law is the same law that is written in our hearts--the only difference is that law was written in stone and the new covenant writes that law in our hearts.
Only the moral aspect (10 Commandments) has been written on the hearts of men, not all the Mosaic law, and that moral law has been written on all (Jew and Gentile) of men's hearts ...
(KJV) For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and
their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another...
God made a better covenant, for you could obey the law in stone and disobey the spirit of the law as it is given in our hearts. God is love, the law must have love. The new covenant improved the old one.
There is absolutely no scripture that promises salvation through works, that is not possible and never was. There are rewards promised for obedience, the same as now, but salvation is not and never has been a reward for our work. Forgiveness was incomplete in the old testament, Christ completed and perfected it, but salvation has always been through blood God gave on the altar, not through works.
Do use your concordance to study grace and forgiveness in the old testament.
This is incoherent. You replied to my point about faith, yet you make no reference to faith.
No one (but Jesus) obeyed the law whether it was written in stone or on our heart.
The new covenant is greater because it offers the GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS freely through Jesus Christ.
Who ever mentioned salvation through works??
Tell David that forgiveness was incomplete...
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Saying, Blessed
are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed
is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. (Rom 4:6-8)
Christ completed and perfected it, but salvation has always been through blood God gave on the altar, not through works.
Do use your concordance to study grace and forgiveness in the old testament.
More incoherence and a red herring. No one is saying otherwise, that "
salvation has always been through blood God gave on the altar, not through works"
Please quit imagining topics that the other poster hasn't mentioned. This must fit in with your defense of visualization on another thread.
