Title: Re: [Corpus-Paul] Did Paul break the Law?
Dear Mark,

What was the telos of Paul writing such obsolete things, when the covenant
with Moses had "ended" and "loses its function" several years before the
letter to Rome was penned? Who was he trying to kid?

HH: The Abrahamic covenant was of a different nature than the Mosaic covenant, promise versus law. The Book of Hebrews says that the Mosaic covenant is obsolete:

Heb. 8:13 ΒΆ By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

HH: There is nothing wrong in people living according to it, but it is not a requirement.

                                Yours,
                                Harold Holmyard
