:::::Man. The Israelites as a nation proved over and over that the Mosaic Covenant was too difficult to live accordingly to, so God promised a new covenant (Jer. 31:31–34) that gave an extra leeway of probation for covenant-adherents who commit transgressions. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Monday, 15:55, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

:::::::Read Hebrews. The law was "changed," not replaced. (Heb. 7:12) —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Monday, 17:38, July 15, 2024 (EDT)
:::::The "fault" in the first covenant (Heb. 8:7) obviously was on the part of man (since a covenant is between two parties); God's speedy enforcement of judgment under the Mosaic Covenant wasn't in any way immoral, simply "too much" for an entire nation of sinful human beings to prosper in. The New Covenant is "better" (Heb. 7:22) because it forgivingly takes into consideration the backsliding tendencies of sinful men. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Monday, 15:58, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

::::::At Sinai, God offered man a choice between Law or Grace. Man chose Law, which they could not fulfill. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth. Just Putin It Out There'']]</sup> 17:17, July 15, 2024 (EDT)

:::::::This artificial total-schism dichotomy between law and grace is unbiblical. Living under grace in Jesus Christ means walking according to the law. (Rom. 3:31, I John 2:3) The real debate isn't "law vs. grace," it's "trying to keep the law by my own strength" or "humbling myself before God and walking in His statutes by His strength." —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Monday, 17:38, July 15, 2024 (EDT)
