Eph 5:30 (KJV)
It's a metaphor.
Read the next verse
(Eph 5:31) For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
Maybe if you were married you would understand it.

I don't think you do.
You have taken a metaphor, and turned the metaphor into some kind of really weird deification of yourself.

If a man had no covenant with God with no promise of having his sins wiped out, what is the only way that God could still save him and remain just?
Yes, but I don't think I'm the big toe of Jesus like you do.
The only way a man could be saved under God's perfect justice is if the man had the perfect righteousness of God.
As we both know, that is impossible because of our sin natures passed on to us because of Adam.
Therefore, the only way we are saved is by the perfect righteousness of Christ Jesus.

So, God cannot save a man without a covenant?

If a man in 1885ad, for argument's sake, did not qualify for the new covenant...could God save him? And how?

I ain't no sheep, but I think Nang might be as she's always saying, "Bah"

If she ain't in the Body, she is either a sheep or goat!
That doesn't make any sense.
The NC was put in place at the cross. Everyone in 1885AD was under the NC.
By grace through faith.

Trying to show you why the Body is different than the rest of the saved found in scripture.
I didn't expect that it would be a success.
This is probably one of the reasons other people tell you that you aren't saved.
(John 10:27-28 KJV) 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
I understand that believers saved under the NC (Acts 9 in your case) are different than believers saved before the NC (Acts 9 in your case).
There are many differences. For example, believers in the NC (Acts 9 in your case) are indwelt with the Holy Spirt.
I would probably agree with you on all the differences.
Where we disagree, is you think believers before the NC (Acts 9 in your case) are not in the spiritual Body of Christ (metaphorically speaking).
