Richard what does the term Republication of the CoW mean, say those who may believe it was republished in the Mosaic,
does it mean it is re-established, renewed or continued with its terms & conditions expanded in some sense, as I'm leaning to a "Republication of the CoW" in the Mosaic as Christ had to fulfil the CoW to gain redemption for His people, but the N.T. didn't see the need of him to be tested in a new garden of eden, with a new tree of knowledge of good & evil, so methinks in some sense it was in the Mosaic, obviously along with the CoG!
I do hold man is fallen & has already broken the terms of the CoW Federally so can in no way work his own salvation, that Mosaic Law was a prefigurement of Christ as well as some thing he fulfilled to gain redemption in both obeying it to gain Righteousness for us & suffering its penalty to gain our pardon.The Law kills & condemns the guilty & drives him as a schoolmaster to Christ, though the pleasant fruits of righteousness are placed in a man at his regeneration, being the spirituality of the Law, though never perfect, which occurs simultaneously with his Forensic Justification in Christ.
