''Unfortunately for you,again you re inforce my point''You really have no point to make.
The prophets and the law are part and parcel of the covenant between the god of the bible and his chosen people.
1 By putting up a cut and paste ,parroting mainstream beliefFor a start, it's not cut and paste. nothing is cut. It's called copy and paste. And the reason I quoted verse is to support what I say.
I can't support what I say without quoting verse, which involves copying and pasting the text, which is not merely 'mainstream belief' but what is written
Your objection is a poor means of defense
''2 Again,the law is a seperate thing from the covenants'Nah, they are inseparable. Deny it as long as you like and you'll still be wrong.
''The idea of the covenant between Yahweh and his chosen people is the most basic and distinctive idea in the Old Testament, affecting as it does the total religious and moral outlook of Israel. In it are involved the nature of their God, his relation to them and to the stream of history, the framework within which they conceived their moral obligation, the grounds of divine judgment, and the hope of salvation which was to grow into the expectancy of the promised Messiah and the kingdom of God.''
The lawIn the previous section I have stressed mainly the kind of God who was believed by Israel to have entered into the covenant relation with his chosen people.
We must now look at what the people believed commensurately was required of them in this crucial bilateral agreement.'' - Chapter 2: The Covenant, the Law, and the Prophets – Religion OnlineAre you able to grasp the nature of this relationship?
