“Abraham and all the righteous of the Old Testament did not know the historical Christ.”
They didn’t need to, they were all beneficiaries of the grace of God through His covenant.
“In the same way, God is able to create a faith in His righteousness in whosoever He will. These people may not know the name “Jesus” but they turn from their own sin and cling to God’s righteousness.”
A contradiction, since you can’t have faith in something you don’t actually have faith in. Thor is not Jesus, nor is even the “Logos” of ancient Plato. The scriptures I have presented also stand against you.
If one turns away from their sin, so it follows that they do not sin at all. But since all men sin, therefore they are judged, according to the scriptures I have mentioned.
However, the Old Covenant couldn't save. What differentiated the saved from the unsaved was faith in the righteousness of God which would turn out to be Christ.
since you cant have faith in something you dont actually have faith in.
One can have a knowledge of one's inadequacy and a need for God's righteousness to save one. It doesn't mean one understands all the implications...but faith can still be there.
