I think you don't understand the difference between the purpose of the Old Testament in light of the New Testament, Fred. The Old was incomplete for man and the Lord knew that it would be but He set it such to show that. The New Testament was spoke at the heels of Eve's sin. That was ultimately what the Lord knew we would have to have. The old - break it in one point and you break it all. ALL. New T is mercy, grace with the enabling power Spirit of Christ.
