-Matt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and Earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all is fulfilled.
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies are made his footstool.
1 Cor 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
-Gal 3:23-25 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith that should afterwards be revealed.
(So that: every person born into the world and who is without Christ; will be judged by the standard contained within the OT law)
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
-Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life, has made me(us) free from the law of sin and death.

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift! Jesus come quickly!!!

No, the old covenant is over. Everyone will be judged by Jesus' words, not Moses'.

Plus, Gentiles were not included in the old covenant, was only for the Jews.

I think more people should read and study the old testament more often.
The old covenant was between God and Israel, and any strangers who
wanted to conform and follow Gods statues and judgement's where let in.

That does NOT mean that the two Covenants run concurrently. But it does mean that the Ten Commandments are eternal.

If you are trying to say that the Old Testament and the New Testament complete the Scriptures together then that is another matter. All Scripture is for all Christians (2 Tim 3:16,17).

I actually like the OT more than the NT. For me the NT is the technical details, but the OT speaks to me in a way that makes me feel awe at GOD's timeless power to be able to hide Christ in so many details and places in the OT.

First my man point was the old covant was not just for the Jews,
and that it was with all the tribes of Israel , people should really
read about who Israel was and quite labeling them only as jews.

The Bible talks about two specific groups of people, Jews and Gentiles. The OT did not apply to Gentiles piriod.

Just remember that Paul uses "Jews" and "Israel" interchangeably. And of course the Old Covenant was for Israel -- the 12 tribes -- called "Israelites".

Thank you, adoption and conversion to Judaism were ordained by the law, or old testament. We Christians are no longer bound as servants to the law but the old testament is still a very wise place for advice like don't eat under cooked meat, don't trust astrologers etc. Every history student should know those who don't learn from history will probably repeat it. So don't disregard it.
