I think you nailed it Lori.

It's not so much about "saltiness" per se, as it is about "usefulness" -for what good is salt that is no longer salty? It's value, is in it's purpose.

In the passage/parable you reference Jesus is clearly pointing at the law of Moses as that thing that lost it's value and is no longer worth anything (except to be trod upon).

where do you get that it is talking about the law of Moses when it talks about the disciples being the salt? If the disciples are the salt of the earth, are they the law?

Similarly Paul, as you note in 2 Corinthians is referencing our earthly tents as that thing that once worn out are no longer of value. We can talk a great deal about the purpose and properties of salt, but that's sidestepping the actual subject matter of each reference in favor of those characteristics that we all recognize as what gives "salt" it's value.

actually, I would say that it is the purpose for which God created man that gives us our value, but that goes back to why or how you see the disciples being salt is actually the law of Moses being the salt...I'm anxious to have you unravel this mystery for me.

The conversation includes salt, but goes much deeper and beyond salt.
