Jewish legalist insults Christianity: “Christians live under a false Covenant.”
Christian response,
The New Covenant is the ONLY Covenant that provides life through atonement for sin (Matthew 26:28). The Covenant of Law only defined God’s mandates via ordinances yet was absent atonement (Romans 3:23); therefore, the Law only condemns the hearer who is a sinner (Romans 3:23) and unable to acquire atonement through works of the Law as the Law mandates perfection (Galatians 2:16; James 2:10).
If you reject the atonement for sin ONLY provided by faith in Jesus – Yeshua as your God and Mediator for sin (John 14:6; John 3:16-18), you will die in your sins and you will not enter the Kingdom of God (John 8:24) nor will you be named among the Jewish remnant in that Day (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27) but you will be exiled into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth…hopelessness.
