and would be a return to the law, as a dog to its vomit

The law is vomit?

My scriptures don't agree with you.

The law of the LORD is perfect (Psalm 19:7)

"The law is vomit?

I did not say that. Here it is in context:

"To attempt to do so would be to try to please God with a lesser sacrifice and would be a return to the law, as a dog to its vomit and would make the Crucifixion of no effect for you."

The reference was addressed to those who were once under the law of sacrifice, having understood that part of the law was fulfilled with the crucifixion, after which they entered into a new covenant which did not require blood sacrifice. But to return to the blood sacrifice after being freed from it would be a rejection of the perfect sacrifice and denial of the blood of the Savior.

Hope the context is clear, for I was not disparaging the law that Jesus fulfilled. Not one letter shall pass from that law until all be fulfilled. Those who have not seen the fulfillment of it are still required to follow it.
