    Why the Old Law/Covenant Does not apply to NT Christians..

    Note I did not say the Old law was invalid, so shelf the Mat 5 "I did not come to abolish the law" argument, and read the WHOLE OP if you want to discuss the points I will be making. The Old (OC) and New covenants (NC) are contracts, that state do ABC and you will receive XYZ. Under the OC If...

    Does Hebrews 10 say if we willfully sin after being saved there is no more forgiveness?
