We say the same things, with different words and a different conclusion. But I so agree that it is such a wonderful blessed thing that through Christ we are given eternal life.
God's people aren't "messing around with sin" when they are guided by scripture telling them what sin is and how to avoid choosing it.
When we put on Christ we put on righteousness. Righteousness hates sin, and if you decide you won't listen to the word or the Holy Spirit telling you what sin is, how can you avoid or hate something you won't allow?
For over 4,000 years!! of man living of earth before Christ was sacrificed, blood was required for the forgiveness of sin. In Isaiah we are told that God hates (not from the time of Isaiah but Isaiah spoke for the eternal God) blood of animals. We are told the blood was the shadow of Christ. We are told that there is not, never was, will never be forgiveness outside of Christ.

Uh, I'm not trying to argue, and it's probably a trifle, but God said to Adam and Eve to not take of the tree in the midst of the garden, saying "Do not eat of it nor will you touch it, lest you die." Wasn't this the first ever commandment to mankind? Bcs of this, for me, the tree of knowledge is represented as the Law of God.
The law remains to condemn those not covered by grace through faith
in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ as a covering for their sin/s.
Also, the priesthood has been changed...
Hebrews 7:12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.

But I don't see how the comment answered the question:
Some people believe all the Law has already been fulfilled, so I asked that to see what they would say.
Poetry? I am not sure what you mean, and I did answer the question, though you seem to have overlooked it.
The law remains to condemn those not saved by grace through faith in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ.
Do you understand now?

The question is "what is the law Jesus mentioned in Mat 5?" The Law from the foundation of the Heavens and the Earth or some kind of "new law"?
Your poetry did not tell me that. That's all.
I don't know what poetry you are referring to is the thing...
I did not answer in any poetry... though I presented a panel with Scripture on it.
Christians are not under the law; there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.
At the end of this age it is our works in Him that will be judged.
Those not covered by His righteousness will stand before Him and be condemned by the law.
Actually, they are already condemned according to Scripture (John 3:18) ~
Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands
condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

I cast a vote for "no" because anytime Jesus Circumcises the Heart of a person, the Law has been "fulfilled." This is what happened to Abraham (for example), that he was set apart from any Law, hence he is our Father of Faith. And when Jesus said to those who were performing righteous deeds in the Name of Christ, "Get away from me you lawbreakers," it is because He had yet to have Circumcised their Heart as perfectly described in Colossians 2:9-15. It is the Circumcision of Christ who / that fulfills the Law . . . nothing else.
