You make a habit of reading someone else's mail and applying it TO yourself when it's not. Big mistake.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Nothing in scriptures was written to you heir, does that mean that it's contents aren't meant for you? While understanding who is being spoken too is part of the context - it is silly to assert that if it wasn't written directly for you that therefore it isn't applicable to you.

God is everyone's God, and he does not change or show partiality.

Will the Body of Christ lose an arm?

I am but a cell in the Body of Christ. And you, too. Losing one cell or a million cells is not losing one arm. A body cell approximately weighs one nanogram. If an arm weighs say 1 kg, then that means an arm is composed of 1 trillion cells. And the number of persons born into this world, according to one guesstimate, does not even reach a trillion.

The number of cells in a human body would have to equal the number of people currently in the Body of Christ for your view to make sense to me.

So do you acknowledge that under the New Covenant the Law is written on our hearts and minds?

Do you have a verse in mind with regards the asserting that love is imprinted upon one's heart?

Your problem is, you don't know how to "Rightly Divide" the Bible.

Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles. He preached the "Grace Message" that the ascended Christ gave to Him. Peter and the rest preached the "Kingdom Message" to the House of Israel. If you don't see a difference between the two Messages, then, you are living in ignorance.

Galatians 2:7 "On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel for the uncircumcised, just as Peter was for the circumcised,"

Paul preached that Gentiles were to become members of the Body of Christ through faith alone.

Peter preached to the Jews that they must have faith plus works. As per James 2:17 "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

Good verse :thumb:

Why do you not answer the first question I asked? Is the law written on our hearts and mind under the New Covenant, or no?

If you think throwing out anything unpleasant to you is "rightly dividing" then you are sadly mistaken. You must study all of the scriptures, and only then can you start speaking of what is or is not applicable to us today.

Sorry, but spiritual things are spiritually discerned. We were merely fashioned into the Body of Christ. The Father did not LITERALLY chopped off Christ's body and replaced it with all of humanity.

I've been down the 'law detour' when I was a younger Christian so I know the futility of it unlike you. Have fun with Mr. Legality and his son Civility in the village of Morality.

All scripture is FOR us, it's just not all TO us or about us. Paul spoke and wrote to us as he was the apostle of the gentiles (Romans 11:13 KJV) given the dispensation of the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:17 KJV), the dispensation of the grace of God (Ephesians 3:1-9 KJV), and the dispensation of God given to him for us, to fulfil the word of God: even the mystery (Colossians 1:25 KJV).
While understanding who is being spoken too is part of the context - it is silly to assert that if it wasn't written directly for you that therefore it isn't applicable to you.

Hebrews is FUTURE for the house of Israel and with the house of Judah (Jeremiah 31:31-34 KJV, Hebrews 8:8 KJV). The Body of Christ has no nationality (2 Corinthians 5:16 KJV, Galatians 3:28 KJV, Colossians 3:11 KJV).

You must 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV!
