The New Covenant is Jesus and his Gospel.
The houses of Israel and Judah are not the church.

Being guilty and being condemned to hell are two different things.
That's what I used to believe. The bible never says this. Jesus said the way to inherit eternal life is to love God and love man. Anyone who does that isn't going to be wicked. God does not condemn all mankind for what no man can do anything about. That's contrary to his just nature.
So, you believe that all that you have to do to be saved is be a good person? Love God and love your neighbor?
That's the royal law.
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well. (James 2:8 NKJV)
Do you love your neighbor as yourself?
Yes, you are a TOL neighbor and I'm trying to help you, but you don't make it easy.
The first word in my answer was yes. Clean your glasses.

Lk 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
And yes, I do that.
You missed it. Jesus was trying to show the rich young ruler that he was a sinner and needed to be saved.
You also are a sinner that needs to be saved.
I just wanted you to verify what you said.
I always suspected that you were unsaved. Now I know that you are.
We could go through each of the Ten.
If Jesus paid the debt for sin then why would I still owe for sin?
Try repentance, it works.
Trying to keep the commandments, which is impossible, nor does repentance save.
Which one can you not keep?
I cannot do or keep any of the commandments.
You are a hypocrite if you think that you can.
Paul has a message for you, "DO YOU NOT HEAR THE LAW?" Galatians 4:21.
The law demands that you be like Christ. You don't even come close.
If you haven't murdered anyone today you've already kept one.
And if you haven't stolen anything today that makes two you kept.

You haven't read what our Lord said in Matt. 5?
There was an update....a clarification, if you will.
What you don't seem to understand is that God's law is spiritual. It searches the desires and the intent of the heart. Have you had an evil thought today? Hebrews 4:12, 13.
If you did then you have sinned.
