So are you saying that you are less depraved than a Jew? A person sins by thought, word, and deed. Have you read the Sermon on the Mount? Thoughts are morally as evil as deeds, aren't they? I mean that if you look at a woman with lust, then you are guilty of adultery, aren't you?
Unhitch the OT?

They thought they were good for not stealing even though they wanted to. But since good people do not need laws, Abraham and other believers did not want to steal. They understood the Two Great Commandments and gave from a heart of love instead of stealing. -

Back to the OP: sounds like remixed Marcionist heresy.

“But showing its fault, God says to them, “Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. “It will not be like the covenant that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord. “For this is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God and they will be my people.” (Hebrews 8:8–10) (NET)
“When he speaks of a new covenant, he makes the first obsolete. Now what is growing obsolete and aging is about to disappear.” (Hebrews 8:13) (NET)
““Indeed, a time is coming,” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and Judah.It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I delivered them from Egypt. For they violated that covenant, even though I was like a faithful husband to them,” says the Lord.“But I will make a new covenant with the whole nation of Israel after I plant them back in the land,” says the Lord. “I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts and minds. I will be their God and they will be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:31–33) (NET) -

1 : to make spiritual; especially : to purify from the corrupting influences of the world
2 : to give a spiritual meaning to or understand in a spiritual sense
Now Jesus did not spiritualize the Ten Commandments. He said that if you looked at a woman with lust, you were guilty of adultery, etc. What is spiritual about being guilty of adultery? It is totally carnal. The human mind is carnal, also. Everyone sins constantly. Everyone needs to be washed in the Blood of Jesus constantly.
1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. -
