I believe Vendyl, like many Noahides, went through a stage where he believed in some kind of “dual covenant” theology before he completely abandoned Christianity.
Bibliocentric chr*stianity is an excellent entryway to Noachism. Liberalism, secularism, and atheism, not so much.

I suspect, given his milieu, that classic Scofield Bible dispensationalism, with it's radical church/Israel distinction, played into that.
Given the time he was in school or seminary, he may not have been exposed to the existence of textual variants ("“Omitted in more ancient manuscripts.”") until he held the then new Revised Standard Version bible in his hand.
