Grandpa, what I don't understand is how do we explain a non changing God without double standards by what you are implying here. Friend, if you for one second think we are being judged on a different set of standards than people in the Old Testament you are in the wrong Bible school .
The Bible is clear, God does not change. We are not second best, the outcast that is receiving grace. Grace was there from day 1 just like the law was there from day 1.
I can't proclaim a god with double standards. My God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and my problem with the law is because of my flesh not willing to submit to the King of kings. In grace I am saved, just like David, Moses, Daniel, Abraham, Noah, Samuel, Gideon, Peter, Paul, Luke, Matthew etc before me. They were all sinners and needed the grace of God, like we do.
God bless friend

The nature of God does not change but the way He deals with humanity has!
Your belief is very simple - just wrong!
The New Covenant is NOT the Mosaic Covenant in drag.
It is something completely different.
You obviously do not believe in what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross because you live in the Mosaic covenant.
The Mosaic covenant is all about your merit being judged before God - guess what the result of that is?
There is no grace in that covenant - it was either perfect obedience to the law or condemnation to death.
As for me, I will be judged on the merits of Jesus Christ, not my own.
That is the result of being a New Covenant believer!
