What about Heaven or the age to come or the endtimes. Some people seem to think that the New Covenant will be disposed of at that point.

If the New covenant goes while i am still a sinner then I am damned, finished caput!!

What may or may not happen in the Age to Come is not relevant to me, to be honest. We are not there.

Question: when perfection comes is righteousness done away with? I know faith and hope are (I Cor 13), but as this question only applies after we are risen again I really dont think it is worth considsering except as an after dinner amusement.

Despite what some have told me the practicalities of here and now are what concern me; and here and now we either have th LAw whereby we are all lost, or the Holy Spirit, working his grace in our lives by leading us to real repentance where we could not lead ourselves.

THis second is my basis for faith, the first is my death warrant
