Romans 8:1-2; 5:57 + 58b
While it is true that there is now therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked (1 John 2:6), and Christ walked in obedience to the Mosaic Law, so those who are not walking in obedience the Mosaic Law should not consider the verses that speak about those who are in Christ to be referring to them.
Let me know when you have walked on water. Okay? Thanks!
John 8:36 plus Romans 8:2 If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.
The law you promote is the law of sin and death. Those who put themselves under it are cursed, because you cannot keep them, and failing in one point, you fail in all. I am saved by grace through faith in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ, Who paid the sin debt.

Your logic is astounding. Faithlessness is contrary to God's nature. Should I assume faithlessness is eternal. Death is contrary to God's nature. Should I assume death is eternal. Everything contrary to God's nature is eternal?
What makes something eternal is that it lasts forever. Sin won't last forever. Therefore, it is not eternal.

The new living way is Jesus
He replace the old way which was the ceremonial laws that dealt with sin.
The shadow is replaced by the real thing.
The schoolmaster was the old way of dealing with sin. The flesh and blood of Jesus has replaced these old ordinances.
Sin has not changed.
The law that defines sin is the same.
The 10 commandments are not removed by Jesus.
The act of murder has always been a sin.
The act of covetousness has always been a sin.
The 10 commandments define sin.
The blood of Jesus deals with sin. Pays for it.
Heb 10:16-20
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

You're not bothering to distinguish between what something is and whether it is still happening. What faithlessness s remains the same even where there is no one who is faithless and the same goes with sin and death. The fact that God's nature is eternal means that the things that are in accordance with or contrary to His nature are eternal. For example, is it eternally true that charity is in accordance with God's nature and committing adultery is contrary to God nature, and if that were to ever change, then God's nature would not be eternal, and this is true regardless of whether or not it is still possible to do charity or commit adultery.
Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Bible repeatedly speaks about walking out the Mosaic Law, so that is what 1 John 2:6 is not saying that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk on water, but that we are obligated to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, especially because the Mosaic Law is God's instructions for how to be in Christ.
Romans 3:21-25a
While the only way to become righteous is through faith apart from being required to have first done righteous acts in order to earn it as a wage, becoming righteous through faith means becoming someone who practices righteousness through faith, so it is contradictory to become righteous apart from becoming someone who practices righteousness. God's law is His instructions for how to practice His righteousness, not for how to become righteous. For example, God's law reveals that it is righteous to help the poor, but no amount of helping the poor will ever cause someone to become righteous because the only way to become righteous is through faith. So when God declares us to be righteous through faith, He is declaring us to be someone who practices His righteousness through faith in obedience to His law in accordance with the example that Christ set for us to follow.
For example, God's righteousness is eternal (Psalms 119:142), therefore all of His righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160). If the way to act in accordance with God's righteousness were to change, then God's righteousness would not be eternal, that's not me trying to pass off my opinion, but rather that's what the words mean.

you are arguing that evil is equivalent to goodness, so that there is from before all things a force of evil equivalent to God.
it's essentially gnosticism, an eternal battle between two equivalent gods.
i do not agree that you must have a negation of goodness in order for goodness to exist. if this were so then death must exist or else there is no life - but death will be destroyed, the last enemy.
so what you are suggesting is contrary to the worldview of scripture. you're saying that not only God has immortality, but also Satan - that Satan is 'like the Most High'
