Once again, You show you have a misunderstanding of the old covenant
The mere fact that God was placed in the center of the people. In a room that NO ONE could enter, except the high priest. And ONLY THEN if he did everything just right (otherwise he would die upon entering the most holy place) And the fact that every sin (known, unknown even unintentional sin) required the shedding of innocent blood, should have shown the jews and mankind how desperate our situation is.
I do not know. Maybe you can not figure it out. Because you can not seem to grasp its meaning?? I do not want to try to guess.

The covenant also gave commands, things the jews were required to do. And they were given the ultimatum that if they did not obey every word (every jot and tittle so to speak) they would be under a curse. So even the moral law proves to man how desperate his situation is to God
Even the ceremonial law has parts which show both aspects.. the problem and the solution.
Paul made it c lear. The PURPOSE of the law was to bring them, and eventually us, to christ.
Trying to take it outside its intended purpose is dangerous, and has led to many people never comming to an understanding of who and what God is.
So once again, I can not buy what you are trying to sell

Passive aggressiveness. Clearly you have something to say to me but seem...apprehensive...to say it directly. 
I just stated a fact, Your not the only one here who is this way (refuses to answer questions) so it was directed to a few, But since i quoted your post. It was directly directed to you.

It's a quote from scripture.
Do you think scripture is strawmen, slippery slopes and confusion?
The law is the power of sin.
The law is not of faith.
The law is not made for the righteous.
These are things the Bible says, and we need to deal with them to understand what it is that God writes in the heart of His children when He remembers their sin no more.
Paul is not under the law but he is not lawless. What does that mean?
if 'noob believers' don't know how to deal with this, then this is something they need to be taught to deal with - not be taught to sidestep or ignore.
We all need to learn to ask and to find answers to hard questions.
Is the power of sin written in our hearts?
What's illegitimate about asking that?
Exactly what law is written in the heart of a believer, such that Paul is not under law, yet not lawless?
What is the difference between 'the law' and 'the law of Christ' in 1 Corinthians 9? Which one of these does Jeremiah prophesy of, or is it another?

Greetings Y,
Well said, and such an important point to undo the confusion on. Paul only spoke of our relationship to the law! Nevar against the Law or it disregard! If a man is led by the Spirit - meaning obedient! what is the law to him? Nothing, because it applies to the wicked! BUT, the wicked or those who are not led by the Spirit to live in obedience they are under the Law as the Law is there for their sakes to convict them and fdrive them to conviction and repentance. But those who keep sinning and avoid the Law, they never repent and will in the end be judged for unrepentant sin!
