Excellent discussion. Will you address the issue of merit? Many say any and all obedience of Israel under any kind of covenant of works regime must be 100% perfect. How is this objection put to bed? Is it the terms of the Sinai covenant or God’s patient forbearance toward Israel that determine the naure of the.covenant Sinai? Carry on and thanks!
