The Jews tried to force Gentiles to keep the Law. We have a New covenant and a New Law. Certain elements of the Old are true of the New. That does not mean we are under the Old covenant or Law

Never said we are under teh seat of moses and the administration of the Mosaic covenant.

If one wants to know what the New Covenant is about and what is expected of New Covenant believers, they read the New Testament.

true but the OT is constantly what is referenced. All Scripture is given. The authors of the NT did not ignore the writings of the OT. They used them.

Didactic simply means good for teaching. The OT is still good for teaching as examples and leading people to Christ
|
leading is a varying word depending on how you use it. It does help bring them to Christ. It also contains more than that.

In the New Covenant distinction is sexes is still emphasized through implied and explicit didactic evidences

depending on the topic yes. My point was simple and it is concerning the text.
Many simply say... you can't use any OT scripture as examples of righteousness. You are picking up the law blah blah blah. If you are not doing that... fine. TO say what they say though when KNOWING scripture consistently teaches this in both covenants is simply incorrect as the whole shows truth. Paul and all the other Apostles did not have to rewrite everything and point to what is SIN as the law pointed to it as a base understanding. They did not have to rewrite it as it was taught everywhere among the Jews. So when you point to the law and as Paul said without the law I would not have KNOWN sin and then the redemption points to Christ from the exposed sin AND also WEAKNESS of man.... do you look at the OT and say hmmm yep
Deut 22:5 exposed the wrong? do I have to say hmm well I can only find the wrong in the NT?
