Does free will really apply if the Law has been completely fulfilled? Aren’t we, under both Jewish and Christian theology, supposed to be cleansed of all sin and live in paradise for 1,000 years? I haven’t noticed much if that in the world in which we live.

These are very long-standing principles of Jewish law, that long precede Jesus. I think that what is meant by them is that without for filling those two precepts, it is impossible to fulfill the law. However, they alone are not sufficient. There are many other laws that need to be followed to be the best person that you can possibly be. God does not expect any of us to be perfect, but He does expect us to strive toward perfection, with all of the handicaps of our intellectual and spiritual imperfection. This involves studying the law and all of its implications in the society when and where we live, so that we can properly strive toward perfection through our actions.

“for filling” should be “fulfilling “

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Here Jesus is clarifying which Law in case there was any doubt. He is obviously referring to the Ten Commandments (note: not the two Commandments). The first four tells of mans obligation to Go and the remaining six is mans obligation to his fellow man. This only strengthens the argument the Ten Commandments are very important in Gods eyes.

I understand it perfectly. They are the framework for the others that fill in the blanks.
The law is perfect Ps. 19:7
It lasts forever Ps. 111:7,8
Called the Law of God Ps.1:2, Ps.119:1
Spoken by God Deut. 4:12
Written "with the finger of God Ex 31:18
Faith establishes this Law Romans 3:31
Is holy, just and good Romans 7:12
