Dave,

In regards to the law and the covenant. Abraham was considered righteous because he believed God, not because he kept the law…I believe Paul makes that clear in Romans. Speaking of Romans Paul makes it clear that the Gentiles (those without the Torah) have the law written on their hearts.

Excellent, I couldn’t have said it better than that! I thought the original comment was off topic so I ignored it, but you were able to give such a clear answer, I am glad you tackled it. You are fast becoming one of my favorite pastors of all time. I like the way you tackle these issues with less wordage than I. Maybe one day I will get it down to less than a thousand words!
