Christians and the Old Covenant - Jeremiah 31 

I didn’t say this on my own; the apostle Paul did. See Galatians 3:21-23, “Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed…” There it is: We were help captive under the law. The entirety of Galatians spells this out.

@@chadbird1517 I know that's what the English words say in the book of Galatians, but don't you find it strange that it's the interpretation we have been going with all these years? How do we reconcile this to those we teach and preach to? How can the very word of God be so contradictory? In the front of the book these very laws are called perfect and sweeter than honey. But then in the back of the book we are being set free from it. Or could it be that our interpretation of the apostles writings need a rethink, cause I cannot see how those who spent all those years with Him or the likes of Paul who had the encounter with Him, would all of a sudden come up with a view of what the heavenly Father gave to Moses through angels, to now be called a burden. Something doesn't add up.
