Figure 1. The original Mosaic Covenant.
And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God,
as he has commanded us,
that will be our righteousness.
Deuteronomy 6:25 NIV84
Then Solomon began to build the House of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where [the LORD] had appeared to his father David, at the place which David had designated, at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. (2 Chronicles 3:1 (Tanakh))
Figure 2. The Messianically Amended Covenant.
When studying Scripture, the Book of Teaching is our reference and our guide. Unfortunately it doesn't exist as yet! It awaits writing and publication.
"But why do we need a Book of Teaching when we are overwhelmed by so many Bibles?"
Alas, the reason that these Bibles must be consigned to the trash is because they are all corrupt. They all contain serious errors. The Lord will not accept that which is imperfect:
Do not bring anything with a defect, because it will not be accepted on your behalf. (Leviticus 22:20 NIV84; qv, offerings to the Lord.)
Tanakh, the Jewish Bible omits the Gospels and the Book of Revelation. The Christian Bibles are defiled by Paul's false doctrine. As for the Quran, its 'doctrine' beggars belief.
Everyone of these Bibles will be rejected by the Lord because of the errors they contain. Hence a work-around is required.
My work-around is to make use of all the books in the Old Testament of the Jewish and Christian Bibles. From the New Testament, the only books permitted are: Matthew; Mark; Luke; John; chapters 1-7 of Acts; and the Book of Revelation. The Quran is rejected in its entirety on account of its evil content.
