the law was given not only so that we would recognize sin but so that we would recognize that we could not save ourselves...that we needed a savior
christianity is the ONLY philosophy in the world that records that which is so commensurate with reality...only christianity teaches that YOU CANNOT alone SAVE YOURSELF; YOU NEED A SAVIOR
every other philosophy in the world teaches YOU MUST SAVE YOURSELF
you right about law...we are under no part of the mosaic law today
we live under the law of christ in the dispensation of grace
no one was disputing that with you...the dispute was (and we had this conversation many months ago on this board) with your claim that the mosaic law was only the ten commandments and that the balance of laws (~613 of them) were added later by the rabbis...in that you wrong
however, nine of the "ten commandments" are reiterated in the new covenant and so we are again to obey them :-)
