Does God want us to choose between law and grace?

I'd say it is foolish to attempt to operate under a legal system that doesn't apply to us, having been made obsolete by the changes in the legal system Jesus brought about through his very own words and actions.

God transformed the law and changed the covenant. How is it showing love to deny, skew or misrepresent this truth?

As commanded through Jesus words, not Moses. Jesus gave commands through the Spirit. Jesus doesn't minister the laws of Moses he ministers the law of the Spirit. These are the commandments that he speaks of. Words spoken as though he was the Father. Words that bring life never condemnation. To reject them is to condemn yourself. Because Jesus words are based upon truth and eternal life. Not sin, which has been removed by the power of his words.

Why would any sane person choose the cure of the law over the grace of God?

I am wondering if the "paul only" doctrine prism leads to replacement theology.
(Another rabbit trail)

So far as i can tell several boggus perceptions seem to root and incubate in this " anti-non paul" teaching.

It parallels your argument.

Are you referencing christian vs Judaism, or christian vs all the lost worldwide?

Why in the world would you want to put yourself under a curse?

" For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” (Galatians 3:10-11)

We are to live by faith - not by observation of the Law.

By mixing Law and Grace you are not pleasing God. You're basically saying faith isn't enough and the sacrifice of Jesus wasn't sufficient.

Certainly.
And we need the whole council of God,
all the books,not just Paul's writings.

He is saying we keep the law automatically, indirectly,not as a means to an end.

Typo, 'curse of the law.

Not even Jews can be saved by trying to obey the law. Especially since blood sacrifices ended long ago at the temple. Jews that don't accept Jesus are bound for judgment. Jesus fulfilled all the laws at Calvary and proved it at Golgotha.

I thought he was referencing Christians who should know better.

Like Paul did throughout his epistles.

In the Bible God states that sex should be done only in marriage. A study of women found proof of this. Part of the questions in a questionnaire asked about their sexual history. What was found was a linear graph with the number of sexual encounters before marriage. The more sexual encounters the more likely to be divorced. Even if the only person was the one she married. There was an anomily at 2 but the site didn't explain what it was.

Jesus said the law is in place until the heavens and earth disappear. If we sin then it is as if we broke all of the laws. We all sin therefore deserve God's wrath. Jesus paid the price for those who accept the free gift of grace. For by grace we are saved through faith in Jesus. Thus accepting God's gift of grace our punishment is put on Jesus freeing us from the condemnation at judgement time. Woe to those who reject the gift of grace. They will be judged according to the law!!

If we love God and love our neighbors we wouldn't need the law spelled out. But as sinners we are naturally selfish so God gave us laws for our safty. When we obey the laws we are not guilty and when we sin we have grace through faith.

That's the crux of the matter. We lack the love that was freely shared with us. we must love ourselves to love our neighbors. We must have honor, dignity and self respect in order to share honor dignity and respect to others. We must Love God above all. The 1st sign of the Holy Spirit is love/charity without it we are useless.

No. We are not guilty, nor can we ever be declared guilty, because the blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all sin. We have the very righteousness of Christ imputed to us.

If we can be guilty, we can be condemned, but the Bible says there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus (i.e., "born again" believers). Romans 8:1

Jesus stated the law is in place until the heavens and earth disappear.
If we sin we are guilty of transgressing the law.
God gave us the free gift of grace.
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus.
When we accept the grace through faith in Jesus our sins are imputed to Jesus on the cross.
He paid the penalty for our sins.
Woe to those who reject that grace.

For believers, Christ is the end of the Law.

"For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one that believeth." (Romans 10:4)

"By abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace." (Ephesians 2:15)

Believers are not under the Law.

"But if you are led of the Spirit, you are not under the Law." (Galatians 5:18)

"I myself (Paul) am not under the Law." (1 Corinthians 9:20)

"But before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, being locked up until faith should be revealed. Therefore the Law was put in charge to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the Law." (Galatians 3:23-25)

The Law isn't for believers.

"Knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man.." (1 timothy 1:9)

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under grace." (Romans 6:14)

"But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that which we were bound, in order for us to serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the written code." (Romans 7:6)

For believers, the Law is a curse.

"For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, Everyone who does not do everything written in the book of the law is cursed. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. " (Galatians 3:10, 13)

Those who add Law observance to Christianity are fools.

"This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" (Galatians 3:2-3)

For believers, the Law was erased and nailed to the cross.

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross." (Colossians 2:14)

Believers have died to the Law.

"Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God." (Romans 7:4)

Believers are not to go back to the Law.

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery (The Law)". - Romans 5:1

is that a COMPREHENSIVE list of all commandments given during Christ's early ministry? if that is, GREAT JOB compiling it! Can i use this?

It is not my list; but as the Bible is public domain I don't see any problem provided you give the source. I have never seen any more of Christ's commandments myself.
