What happened in the past has an effect on us today, all because Sin is in the world.

You are not going to get many responses to your posts because most can see through your legalistic teachings. Christians are no longer under the law. I posted this for you a while back and you just ignore it. Maybe you can address it now.
The moral commandments of the Jewish law including the Ten Commandments were summarized in Jesus’s two commandments.
“Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.””
Matthew 22:40 NASB2020
Which law and which prophets do you think Jesus is talking about? It says ALL of it not just some of it.
“For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.””
Galatians 5:14 NASB2020
The WHOLE LAW was fulfilled (completed) in ONE word. All of the law is now one word in the one commandment. Pretty cool that Jesus can put all 613 laws including the 10 commandments into one word. I guess that is what happens when Jesus is the only one that was ever able to keep it perfectly therefore nailing all of it to the cross.
If you want to stay in the law then go right ahead but the rest of us will live by the Spirit which is now the one that convicts us of our sins.
Tell me BroT, are those under the law able to confess their sin in order to be forgiven? Were the Jews under the law able to do that? Let me explain to you how is done after Christ sacrifice for the propitiation of our sins. It’s simple really.
“If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.”
1 John 1:8-10 NASB2020
With Jesus we still sin but ALL we have to do now is just confess our sins and He is faithful and forgives us. Can people under the law do that ? Of course not. But, you ask, how do we know that we are sinning without the law? Well, Jesus tells us of course.
“But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me; and regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.”
John 16:7-11 NASB2020
Look the Helper that Jesus is sending, the Holy Spirit, will take the responsibility of convicting us of our sins. Why? Because we still sin just like you do and I do, but the good news is that we no longer LIVE in sin because of the guidance of the Spirit. Why would we need the law if we have something much better? So what happened in the past has been wiped clean by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ who died in the cross for the propitiation of our sins.
