I like how you think.....
but please remember how the first and second century Messianic Jewish community
lived along side the Rabbinic Jewish community.
Much of the confusion that we face today in the modern Church comes from the battle between the covenants that began during the first century and still rages today.
However, many are not even aware that this battle exists.
Many modern Christians have never been taught anything about the contrast between the two covenants found in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:18-24.
All wrong systems of Bible interpretation are revealed not by the scripture quoted by its proponents, but rather by the scripture they must ignore to make it work.
Many today cannot let go of the Old Covenant.
They often claim that the New Covenant and the Old Covenant are one in the same, but written on our hearts instead of stone.
They must ignore or explain away the following verses to make this idea work.
Joh 15:10
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
(There are two different sets of commandments in this verse.)
2Co 3:6 who also
made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2Co 3:7 But if
the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which
glory was passing away,
(Here Paul compares the Sinai Covenant to a ministry of death.)
2Co 3:8
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?
Gal 3:17 And this I say,
that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.
Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance
is of the law,
it is no longer of promise; but God gave
it to Abraham by promise.
Gal 3:19 What purpose then
does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.
(Here we find the temporary nature of the Old Covenant. The passage reveals when it began and when it was completed.)
Gal 4:24 which things are symbolic. For these are
the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar—
(Here Paul compares the Sinai Covenant to the slave woman, and also clearly states there are two different covenants.)
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "CAST OUT THE BONDWOMAN AND HER SON, FOR THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREEWOMAN."
(Paul tells the Galatian believers to "cast out" the Sinai Covenant.)
Gal 4:31 So then,
brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
Heb 7:12 For
the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
Heb 8:13 In that He says,
"A NEW COVENANT," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Heb 12:18 For
you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,
Heb 12:19 and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard
it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.
Heb 12:20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: "AND IF SO MUCH AS A BEAST TOUCHES THE MOUNTAIN, IT SHALL BE STONED OR SHOT WITH AN ARROW."
Heb 12:21 And so terrifying was the sight
that Moses said, "I AM EXCEEDINGLY AFRAID AND TREMBLING.")
Heb 12:22
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb 12:23
to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Heb 12:24
to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than
that of Abel.
In the passages above we find a clear contrast between the Sinai Covenant and the New Covenant of Christ.
Therefore, they cannot be the same covenant written in a different place.
Col 2:16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17
Which are a shadow of things to come;
but the body is of Christ.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because
we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should
believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and
love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24
And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
