…Good, but we all know the problem here. There must neither be vagueness nor mystification. We understand he expressions ‘in Christ, new creation, the old, the new’ can’t mean literally. It MUST mean a marked visible change in the individual’s lifestyle (behaviour, conduct, mannerisms, temperament, attitudes, actions, inactions…) This in turn MUST mean based on, not personal formulated principles, but following a set of accessible codified guidance of DOs & DONTs which the individual subscribes to. On which the person can always justify ALL their daily routine acts. To which they can point and say ‘this is the authority, the guidance, instruction which I followed that made me act as I did.’ And in concrete language terms which anyone who wishes to benefit & live likewise can read, understand and act by at every moment of their lives. Whether it is followed correctly and/or to what extent is another matter.
The guidance which was existing which Christ met and which he re-taught THROUGHOUT his whole ministry was inadequate and was meant for his people the Jews only (as he himself said in Mathew 10:5&6, 15:24 & v26). Explains why he never travelled out to preach and explains why he said he ‘had a lot more to give but ye cannot bear it now’ until the whole Guidance for the whole mankind comes.
Meanwhile, the BIG problem for the ‘new creation in Christ’ is that the same Corinthians authority (and therefore by extension Christianity as a whole) has, in flagrant disregard to Christ’s teachings & warnings, nullified & voided all the DOs & DONTs which Christ left. As inadequate & limited scope as it were. Except Tithes.

So this claim is beautiful sounding but off-head vague words, impossible to explain and present as model for everyday practical life so that anyone who desires can follow too.
