The division between OT worship and NT worship

[Drich]

Ryft, are you claiming that it does make clear sense-in a way that a non-believer or follower of another religion would agree is sensible and defensible?

Yes, simply put the law is only there to define sin.

Once you see yourself in sin then you can seek atonement.

Once you have obtained atonement the law becomes a lipmus test to help you discern the nature of your relationship with God. It is not the means of Salvation.

In otherwords The Law is not a standard in which you have to perfectly or even closely keep as a way to earn heaven. None of the law passes away for it still defines sin, It's just no longer the means for the redeemed in Christ to earn Righteousness.

Righteousness is now a gift that can only be accepted/received. It is no longer earned so that no man can boast.

How could anything ordained by "God" be a curse? It makes no sense.

Are you only just realising that most of the bible makes no sense?

Of course it doesn't make any sense ...

It does not make sense!



(The devastating "Chewbacca defense" from atheists. What a hoot.)

Unfortunately the Chewbacca defense is not a good judgment day defense strategy.
