Nice try delchiante but scripture is clear about the Old Covenant of Grace replacing the New Covenant of the Law .

In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews 8:13.

The New Covenant (NC) is VASTLY different from the Old Covenant (OC) because the NC is established on grace whereas the OC is based on the law.

Grace and the works of the law are polar opposites.

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 11:6.

Next.

The Old Covenant is done away with.
There is no more sacrifice that atones for sin.

For if we sin willingly after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins..
But a fearful looking for judgment, violent fire which shall devour our enemies.
He that despises Moses law dies without mercy in two or three witnesses.
How much sorer punishment suppose you shall be worthy, which treads under foot the Son of God, and counts the blood of the Covenant an unholy thing, wherewith he was santcified does despite the Spirit of Grace..

A little later in Hebrews you quoted earlier..
Hebrews 10

Again, there is a Law that goes with a Covenant.
You can know it’s the same Ten Commandments that physical Israel received when they were delivered from bondage of slavery, by the blood of the Passover Lamb..

And like the parable teaches, there are places in the Kingdom.
Some least.
Some great

Christianity stops at 50,thanks to Satan.
That might be why Christianity thinks grace is license.
Or that the 10 Commandments are suggestions and optional.

There’s a place for believers in the Kingdom with that opinion, apparently.
Least..
60 and 100 in Christ’s parable shows the Ten Commandments have a place in His New Covenant.

And why Satan’s lawlessness and disobedience is a mark of a beast and not a sign/seal of lawfulness and obedience.
A place where His Commandments were to be placed.
One ones hand and forehead.
And why there is no blue being worn by the White in Revelation.
Blue is the color of His Commandments.

I will put my laws on their hearts.
A New Covenant.
His New Covenant has greater responsibilities.
Greater promises.
Same law.
Spiritual now.
Not the letter.
But same law.

And when we sin,we don’t have to travel to Jerusalem and slice the necks of any animals anymore.
That’s the sacrificial law that has been eliminated.

That is Amazing Grace.

We actually deserve to die for our sins.
But He died.
So we can live.
In sin? In transgression of His Covenant law?

No.

We won’t agree.
But there’s probably a lot we won’t agree on.

That’s okay.

If you Love Me,Keep my Commandments.

Somebody wants to equate Love to being ‘works’, that’s on them..
