You could have said that there were no Jew or Gentile authors in the New Testament.

Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female;
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
I considered it but the fact remains the NT was written by Christians, and the text does not say there are none of those.

The New Testament is not Jewish.
The gospels are a narration of the King of the Jews, His speeches and His fate.

The gospels are overflowing with everything Israel.

Gentiles barely get a mention in the gospels.

Paul's letters are addressed to Gentiles.

I thought that God wrote the Scripture!
Really? So when people speak of the multiple writers of Bible books, they refer to God? I thought
when it says approximately 40 authors, it means the authors which were men wrote as they were
inspired by the Holy Spirit. Not that God did the writing. Men such as Moses, Joshua, Jeremiah, Ezra,
whoever wrote Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Chronicles, Nehemiah, Isaiah etc etc on into NT writers


Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, James, Peter, Jude...

Paul is said to have written close to 28% of the NT...

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God...

Many of the authors in the O.T did not understand what they were writing.

They were told to write what God told them to write, God breathed.

Daniel 12:8
But as for me, I heard but did not understand...

Paul wrote 13 of the 27 letters which is 48%.

Three of the gospels are narrations of the ministry of Jesus, these three gospels
cover the same narration.

Acts is the early history of the church and the apostles.

Revelation is eschatology.

Therefore, Paul actually wrote much greater than 50% of the N.T, regarding the
Gospel, the Church, and the Christian life.

That was not the answer to the question I asked.

The quotation you provided stated that death, condemnation, sin, the offence of Adam, killed us all.

18 Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

So by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (the gospel).

But that does not say anything about the 10 commandments, the codified law (Exodus 20).

The question I asked was where in Genesis does it say that Adam received the codified law,
the ten commandments?

Your claim will fail without any evidence.
Reread my statement:
The law of God “codified” in the Ten Commandments, “ summarized” by Jesus in several Gospel accounts, has always existed just as man since the fall has always had a sinful nature.

You identified the Ten Commandments as the codified law in an earlier post, I then quoted them as well as the summarization of those commandments from the Old Testament source as quoted by Jesus.

It is obvious that fallen man beginning with Adam was under the law:
[1Jo 3:4 KJV] 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

The rest of the statement regarding Noah was mentioned because Noah was saved by grace. That sounds just like the New Covenant doesn’t it?

Please do your own research.

I thought there were 66 authors?

That is what I said: Holy Spirit inspired. And there is more to the NT than letters. People
who say Paul wrote more than 50% of the NT completely overlook the gospels.

Sort of:
[Luk 1:70 KJV] 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
[2Ti 3:16 KJV] 16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[1Pe 1:11 KJV] 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

Sure. By Christians who are ethnically Jewish.
As already stated... Though Luke was not ethnically Jewish.

It was largely written by former Jews who no longer promoted all the laws they had previously been under.


From Acts 15:20 plus 28 Abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood. It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements

Funny. There are 66 books. Paul as you noted wrote more than one.
So did Luke, and so did John. Moses is said to have written five.
As I said, 60 books written by 40 authors.

Because Jesus death did away with animal sacrifices for the New Testament.
What about offerings?

Easy to see that sacrifices are obsolete and the law that included sacrifices was obsolete.

The letter of the law has passed in that respect.

That third one is a false letter and I do not recognize it.
The third one what? If you mean quotes (since there are 3 of them) they are all yours.

Anyone can click where it says Inquisitor said, and it will take them to the original post.
