1. One OT issue to
reconsider perhaps--sparing you the current customary comment 'myth' for now--is
that while God leads Moses, God in essence leads Israel (back then); Moses, acc
to his own writg, is basically a follower of God, not the leader of
Israel in the independent sense depictd, below
2. Also, in the NT,
followers of JC grovelling in the Sinai/Torah (below), thereby
requiring the contrary esoteric hairsplittg evident even in the NT, is
one issue about which the Ap Paul is angered, partic in Gal
4;
in his perspectiv,
earthly Jerusalem turns on 'Sinai' (which you've linkd
effectively/honestly to Torah, below) while heavenly Jerusalem, his
'mother' he says, turns uniquely on the Lord's Spirit; in sum, in
Galatians they're cites of the same name, Jerusalem, however, they exist
now in opposite 'domains' (a potent Pauline concept related to
the KoG itself; E.g., cp. Col 1:13 NIV)
