Kevin:
You truley are a gracious brother. The last part was not an implication to you or anyone here. I have concurred with this observation of Cunningham. The elevation of the law, this constant law preaching of the Puritans led to a legalism, a conditionalism, that was never intended.
You state: The law does not annul the promise of grace, it establishes it.
Of course it doesnt Kevin. But grace fullfills the Law. The 10, the tablets of stone were for the Israelites only. I do not believe this was from the beginning. Scripture says it was "added".
Anyway, we are not that far off. I perhaps have not been clear
In His grace
