The Bible answers that Dave
Do you mean did God know that the Jews (and you and I ) could not keep the Law..yes he did
The The Law and its moral commands shows us the way of righteousness and holiness. All we have to do is never sin, and keep the Law perfectly at every point without fault and we will merit a true holiness before God.
The Law was the school master..It showed man how sinful he was ...and that NO man could keep the law perfectly no matter how hard he tried. Without the law there is no sin..Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; James 2:10 states, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." If you attempt to keep the Law and fail, if you stumble at one point, you will spend eternity under the wrath of God for being disobedient to His Law.
The law pointed us to Christ the only one that could keep the Law
True.
All we have to do is never sin, and keep the Law perfectly at every point without fault and we will merit a true holiness before God.
Nope, God knew we would sin. That's why He gave us a Day of Atonement, and told us He would forgive us if we repented.
James 2:10 states, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
This is not a teaching of the Torah. If you were guilty of stealing, should you be stoned for adultery?
If you attempt to keep the Law and fail, if you stumble at one point, you will spend eternity under the wrath of God for being disobedient to His Law.
Maybe we do worship two different Gods... My God forgives us when we stumble and repent. My God is just, and does not punish us infinitely for a finite sin.
