Ken,
I'm going according to statements of the AV 1611 Bible not the thoughts of Nelson, Ungers', Vines dictionaries or the writers of the ISBE. They messed your thinking up with false information.
The truth of the matter is that the FIRST covenant (with the nation of Israel) is NOT synonymous TO the Old testament. There were many covenants BEFORE Moses! (See Noah) When Paul speaks of the first covenant he's speaking of that made with the NATION. (Moses- Ex.19) It comes underneath the testament made with ADAM, being a subheading. The old testament is a covenant of works made with INDIVIDUALS. (See Adam-Gen.2-3) The old covenant is made with a NATION based on the testament of works.
The new testament is a covenant of grace made with INDIVIDUALS. (Rom.11, Matt.26) The new covenant is made with the the HOUSES of Judah and Israel, the nation of Israel based ON the new testament. (Jer.31)
The Old TESTAMENT started with ADAM. (Rom.5, Gen.3) It contains the SINS of those before the law which Christ Jesus also paid for. (Rom.3)
They were not imputed, but were paid for by Christ Jesus due to the BREAKING of the testament by ADAM.
The "false" SUPPOSITION that they are the same comes from those who assume the body of Christ IS the nation of Israel.
Not so. Paul always SEPARATED the body of Christ FROM the nation. The nation is LOST, while the body is NOT. (1 Thess.2, Rom.10-11)
Very easy. Many people just go by books instead of studying the Book.
In Christ Jesus,
Carl
