Hi Everyone:
2nd Corinthians 3:7, 8 "Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?"
Paul is contrasting the 10 commandments (the old covenant) and Jesus (the new covenant) saying that the law could not save anyone, whereas faith in Jesus could save everyone who believed. Some religions have as part of their doctrine the necessity of having to obey the law. Paul says no way; it's Jesus' way or no way at all.
I have always said that it is best to be spiritual (following Jesus) and not be religious (following the 10 commandments). I know this will irritate some people because their beliefs and trust are in their religious convictions and not 100% Jesus. This is a good example of why I will tell people to read the Bible to get the truth, until the Lord takes me home, so please, for your sake:
Read the Bible to get the truth, Nick Number 414
