I Jn 2:7+ refers to the beginning and it is not Judaism. It is Christ's teaching, and it is not Levitical.

Prove it.
Because of what he usually said about the arrival of the light, as in Jn 12:34 and its contrast to what people thought from the Law was going to happen. They don't do Torah worship. In Judaism the 'trinity' was YHWH--TORAH--'ERETZ. Not in the Christian faith.
(This passage I Jn 2:7-8 is not as good an example because it is already referring to the new message of Christ as old--only reaching back to the "beginning" with Christ, 1:1-2)
There is nothing Levitical about 3:22-23, in which plural and single command are fused.
2P2P cracks me up with its supposed 'anchoring' in Hebrews, but doesn't know that Hebrews is the setting aside of the Levitical system, because the true High Priest is here and He is followed by his living sacrifices which go on and on through their lives bearing fruit.
The children of God are not saved by their obedience
He requires perfect obedience.
His people are His Body, the Church, the elect.The angel who appeared to Joseph said concerning Jesus, "...thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins," Matthew 1:21.
This is a typical teaching of churchianity.His people are His Body, the Church, the elect.

In that context, it is His people Israel. It's not hard to understand.
He justifies them from the debt of sin, and that is a huge motivation to shed the interests of sin, but people will still sin.
This passage and its quote show that Matthew knew early that the mission of Christ was this one Gospel, and that while recollecting what to write, he knew that all of them knew the death of Christ was going to do just that early in the ministry. It is set ups like this which bear out the truly human dilemma which we now call 'denial'. We find it in the middle of the synoptics: after confessing that Jesus is the Christ, Peter tries to 'control' Christ and tell him he can't die. Even though he knew all along, unlike the delusion of 2P2P which wants there to be another gospel in (at least) the first half of the synoptics (it doesn't work out in John at all).

Justification has nothing to do with debt, justification is related to justice. Debt is dealt with by redemption.
Your pretence at understanding is made void by your lack of understanding of what the words you are using actually mean.
It is clear from the OT that all nations would be blessed (justified) in the Seed.
Sin is a debt and that is why the correct verb for applying Christs righteousness to it is the accounting term 'logizo'--credited. You totally missed that.
I understand each IN ITS CONTEXT.God may give an Israel a monarchy but he does not save just Israel from their sins. It is clear from the OT that all nations would be blessed (justified) in the Seed. It is not hard to understand. You just have to be brave enough to disown 2P2P.
:kookoo:The context is not how does Israel gets its monarchy back. That was the mentality of Judaism. The context is what is the one gospel that will be going to all nations. 2P2P does not see this.
It's what he does. He's a maker-upper.You made up the bolded part.
I agree - God's people are Christ's body
I understand each IN ITS CONTEXT.
You, on the other hand, force contortions on scripture.
