The Gospel that Paul preached was not preached in the Old Testament under the Old Covenant (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:11-12; Ephesians 3:1-12). You seem to be having a difficult time transitioning into the New Covenant.
Paul preached the Gospel "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16). Show me that in Habakkuk 2:4. Also show me where what Paul preached in Galatians 1:11-12 and Ephesians 3:1-12 was preached in Habakkuk 2:4 or anywhere in the OT. You don't preach this, nor do SDA's or other misguided teachers of the law, but Paul did.
I am sticking with the Word which became Flesh MMD. You can listen to religious man if you like.
Paul teaches the Gospel of Christ is where the Wrath and the Righteousness of God is revealed. That is the Old Testament. There is no other place to find these things. Only one spirit would want to erase these two things and it isn't the Spirit of Christ.
Habakkuk confirms what the Law and Prophets teach, which is the "Just shall live by Faith". It is the old Testament.
Duet 10:
12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God (word which became Flesh)
require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways,
and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
This is called "FAITH" as the Faith Chapter clearly teaches. Where can we find the many examples of Faith written for our admonition? How many of the examples of faith were not from the Old Testament you reject as the "Old Covenant"?
Where does Paul say he teaches from?
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy,
so worship I the God of my fathers,
believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
and again;
Acts 26:
20 But shewed
first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea,
and then to the Gentiles, that
they (Jew and Gentile)should repent and turn to God,
and do works meet for repentance.
And where does he find this information?
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day,
witnessing both to small and great,
saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 That
Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should
shew light unto
the people,
and to the Gentiles.
This is the Good News of the Gospel of Christ that Paul taught. Not what the Catholic church or her daughters preach, but the true Gospel of Christ.
Paul has just told you it is what man calls the Old Testament. Can you accept it?
Luke 24:
25 Then he said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them
in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Gospel of Christ, Old Testament)You preach a different Gospel MMD, one that rejects the Word which became Flesh, and creates another Gospel, therefore we have a disagreement, much like Jesus and the Pharisees which also created a "different doctrine" from the Commandments of Men, and not from God.
You also preach falsehoods about the New Covenant.
The Word which became Flesh tells us in His Gospel.
Jer.31:
33 But this
shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:
for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Absolutely zero mention of destroying God's Instructions, changing them, amending them, replacing them with a different set of instructions, NOTHING.
He speaks to 2 things here.
#1. How God's Law is administered or mediated. No more Levite Priests to filter the Word.
#2. How sins are forgiven. No more Levitical Priesthood ceremonial, sacrificial "Works of the Law" for remission of sins.
Hebrews 7 confirms this.
You are free to show me in the scriptures where the new covenant is the replacement of the entire old testament if you can. So far I have asked most of your pals to show this, and they can't. Because it is a creation of man, not God.
The Pope and "many" others who come in His Name preach this different covenant. One where you create your own righteousness and laws and write them on your own heart. A Covenant that destroys the righteousness of God and creates another.
A covenant that erases the Wrath of God, and replaces it with a long haired men's hair shampoo model that has no wrath.
The Jews were still pushing the Levitical Priesthood that the Jesus of the Bible changed as it is written. They still performed the Levitical Priesthood "Works of the Law" for remission of sins. These are those who "bewitched" the Galatians.
"This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the
works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
Because you have so little respect for the Word which became Flesh and His Gospel that Paul preached, you can't even see what is right in front of you.
I am not SDA, nor do I belong to any organized religion. I am not perfect but I know God knows better than I so I let Him and His Word's guide my path and not religions which preach falsehoods. I belong to the same Church as Abel and Abraham and Noah and Caleb, and Stephen and Zechariahs and Peter and Cornelius and Rehab and John, and all those mentioned in Heb. 11. And the Head of this Church is the Word which became Flesh, the Christ of the Old Testament who became a man to show us the Way.
REv. 14:
12 Here is the patience of the saints:
here are they that keep the commandments of God,
and the faith of Jesus.
