I'm seeing the following unstated positions by D'ism harden into place. I don't think they want you to know this up front.
1, there are NT letters that are only for one group or another. You have to ask them which ones you are allowed to read.
2, The neat thing about the NT (to them) is exclusion. One of them has 3 different locations for 3 different groups, including putting people in the old covenant on the same 'saved' plane as a Christian believer. So much for a conflict with Judaism! If a person was to know the NT for themselves, they would see that the neat thing is inclusion.
3, They (D'ists) are the official spox about what the 2 covenants are. They do this to concentrate all attention on one verse in Hebrews, skip chs 9-10, and especially skip the gospel accounts and Corinthians, both. Even though one verse in Hebrews mentions Judah and Israel, they think that means the land, not realizing J&I can be reconciled in Christ--if that was the intent of the passage.
4, They don't realize the accusation of being Judaistic--or being a 'stepchild' of it--is for real. In other words, the one group or movement that would be the opposition, in any normal reading of the gospels or Acts, is actually what D'ism belongs to. Then, to top that off, the trite formula is used to show how there is a difference: the Christians had 'accepted Christ as personal Lord and Savior', which would be a non-conflicting answer to the conflict, they think.
5, There is supposedly a week AFTER the destruction of the temple in Dan 9. Just jump in at v26; it's the 70th week, often called that because it is after the 69th. Messiah dies but accomplishes everything in the list in v24. A power comes and destroys the city and temple. It is stretched out by the expression 'war will continue to the end'. v27a is Messiah again; b is the figure mentioned in ch 8, the leader of a rebellion that desolates the city and country. That's the 70th week.
