Do not get the law of the Old Testament and the New Testament confused. Before the Word was born, God's chosen had the law. They did not have the Word in their hearts and minds, but only in the good book. With the Word in your heart and mind, you cannot get confused. The Father was strict with his people, because without the book they would stray. The Father said to choose Him or death. When the Word was born and then accepted into men's hearts and minds they were given the truth in them. If Jesus is in them, they do not need the book to hear the truth. Jesus said not to fear. I do not fear, because I cannot be confused. I cannot be confused, because He is in me. To have Jesus in you is to know Him. A man can be saved by Him and not know Him. If you do not know Him, then you do not know the truth. The people before Jesus' life on earth did not know Him, so they did not know the truth. Moses heard the Word speak to him, so he wrote it down, but he did not know Him, because the Word was not within him.
