And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Rom 8:9And 2 Cor 4:3-4 is a good verse and 1 Cor 2:14 comes from a different angle !!
1 Cor 2:14 reads , But a soulish man receives NOT the things of the Spirit of God ,
And you did not have proof , that I could see ?IS 2 COR 3:6 SPEAKING ABOUT THE NEW COVENANT ?
YES
It is in the text. I am sorry you can’t see itAnd you did not have proof , that I could see ?
And where in the bible does anyone see in the bible calls us FREE AGENTS , and anyone have a verse on the subject ?sin is transgression of the law ... the law is eternal has always been and will always be.
Sin (transgression of the law) started in heaven with lucifer and the 1/3 angels.
Until the seed (Jesus) come ... yes .... through which salvation is possible ... of which was slain before the foundation of the world (plan of salvation in place before creation) God's foreknowledge ... He knew what would happen ... He knew what choice Adam and Eve would make and the rest of humanity as well.
God created all His intelligent beings as free agents ... the choice to live according to the principals of love ... love can not be forced ... it MUST be a choice else it's not love.
The law (the 10) are laws of love ... that is when kept perfectly the result is perfect love (only Jesus did this)
The 10 is the "short list" of what love looks like .... the first table God's divine love and what that relationship looks like .... the 2nd table is how all of mankind is to treat one another but is like (similar) to the first. Everything Jesus taught whether in speech or in action reflects the law in it's entirety and He did so willingly. His ministry on earth reflected the true image of God ... because He was and is God and that image is perfect Love. Through His ministry on earth He expounded on the 10 ... that is gave more detailed information of what true love looks like.
Isaiah 43:41
King James Bible
The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he (Jesus) will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Nothing has changed because God does not change. The law shows us the divine and unchanging character of God.
Malachi 3:6 says, “I am the Lord, I change not.” Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus is the same “yesterday, today, and forever.”
There is nothing wrong with God's laws not one single thing ... and is stated as such by Jesus.
Matthew 5:17-18 King James Version (KJV)Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (to make honorable). For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled (until His return). Why? Because He never changes.
Jesus did not mean for us to stop keeping the law once He “fulfilled” it. By fulfilling the law Jesus showed us how to keep the law fully ... while knowing and understanding how we struggle with doing that (overcoming sin - transgression of the law) not loving one another.
The first tablet helps us maintain a healthy relationship with God, and second tablet is our guide for our relationships with other humans. They are a way for humanity to express our devotion and obedience to God, and a way for God to express His will and character to us.
God gives us his law to help us live in harmony with his plan for our lives .... by choice ... not forced.
Laws that produce love my friends ... and we press forward in keeping them because we Love God and know He loved us first. Amen.
John 3:16
New International Version
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Amen. Thank you Jesus !!!!!
Keep the commandments out of Love and for no other reasons. It is not being legalistic as some claim ... it is being loving towards God and humanity and there certainly is no fault in that at all.
No the GreekYou are reading the KJV of that verse?
And what verse or text did I miss ??It is in the text. I am sorry you can’t see it
That's quite zealous, but lacking discernment; [Hosea 4:6] For the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Christ [Isaiah 33:5-6] as the means of righteousness (right relationship to God) for everyone who trusts, believes in Him. Rom 10:2-4There is nothing wrong with God's laws not one single thing ... and is stated as such by Jesus.
Matthew 5:17-18 King James Version (KJV)Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil (to make honorable).

Who has come according to the power of an endless life. Heb 7:16sin is transgression of the law ... the law is eternal has always been and will always be.
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,Until the seed (Jesus) come ... yes .... through which salvation is possible ... of which was slain before the foundation of the world (plan of salvation in place before creation) God's foreknowledge ... He knew what would happen ... He knew what choice Adam and Eve would make and the rest of humanity as well.
Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; Psalm 45:6Isaiah 43:41 King James Bible The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he (Jesus) will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

God don't force himself on anyone, it's a choice.
Joshua 24:14-15
English Standard Version
Choose Whom You Will Serve
14 “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
What were the letters engraved in stone?

Deut 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Deut 4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
Being not without law to God, but under the law of Christ, that I might gain them that are without law. 1 Cor 9:21Is it impossible that one can be a minister of the new covenant, without actually being under it?
