Yes, it does, if you understand what I said properly. The gospel of Christ was predictive between Genesis 3:15 and Matthew 1. With the fulfillment by Christ in his life and death the gospel promise preached from Genesis 3:15 to Matthew 1 was fulfilled.

The Old Covenant public administration began with Moses was designed for lost people and predictive pointing forward to that fulfillment by Christ. The NEGATIVE ten commandments was designed to RESTRAIN the lost nature. The whole law system was designed to be a "school master" to lead the lost to Christ while confirming to the saved among Israel the gospel in which they believed and by which they received remission of sins (Acts 10:43; Heb. 4:2).

With the fulfilment of the New Covenant promise by the life and death of Christ, Christ ushered in a New Covenant public institutional administrator to replace the Old Covenant public institional administration. One that better represented the fulfilled gospel promise and better characterized those who actually beleived in that gospel. In doing away with the Old Covenant public administrator, the public administration of the civil, ceremonial and negative law was abolished. The establishment of the New Covenant public and institutional administrator (the church) was for professed born again Christians only. It was an administration that corresponded with the new covenant salvation that was preached in the Old Testament scriptures but had no public institutional administration. The New Covenant public administration was desgined for professed born again new covenant people only. As the negative ten commandments "thou shalt not" was designed to restrain the flesh as the Old Covenant administrator dealt with lost people primarily as a school master to lead to Christ, the new covenant administrator has the law of liberty that appeals to the regenerate nature. The ministry in the new covenant public institutionalized administrator are professed born again with lives that characterize that and qualify them for that office. The membership of the new covenant public institution demands profession of new birth BEFORE admission to the membership of the church and submission to the ordinances that delcare a previous born again status.

What the Old Covenant public institution predicted in its types, and qualifications for ministry the New Covenant public institution requires for actual participation in its ordinances, ministry and membership. Thus it is better and more consistent with the New Covenant gospel preached since Genesis 3:15.

To use your own words, that's a 'giant unwarranted assumption'. Since you are sola Scriptura, chapter and verse to support your assertions, please.

A diversion from Catholicism to Covenants.
