1. The term Old Covenant was never used by Christ in the Gospels and is never found in the O.T.
2. The term is used with two contexts in the NT.
2.A - to speak of the Gospel liturgy used in worship under the system of animal sacrifices.
2.B - to speak of the "obey and live" covenant first made with Adam -- under which all mankind is lost even to this very day --and no forgiveness of sins is offered
You are conflating the two in your responses which leads you to believe we are supposed to ignore the teaching of Christ - as Christians.
Lots of detail on this - already posted here
And on this thread - see the OP -

Read the actual New Covenant in Hebrews 8[/QUOTE]
True - but only for those under the New Covenant.
The lost are not under the New Covenant -- if they were they would be save, forgiven of sin, and have the LAW of God written on their heart, and adopted into the family of God as we see in Hebrews 8.
That is not what a lost person has. What a lost person has is "obey and live" which is why they are lost.

If there is a NEW covenant, it replaces the OLD covenant, obviously.
