Can you provide me with the algabraic correction factor you use to interpret the scriptures? Your posts are rife with inserted adjectives and qualifiers. I am worn out. Here's my last shot:

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Deut 21:23

In this case, there actually is a qualifying prepositional phrase that you have omitted. Christ has omitted us FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, Christ has not removed the Law (10 Commandments) from anyone. If anything, He has broadened the invitation. We are all guilty of sin and none of us are righteous. This is not a license to sin. Omission of a verse in some partition of the Bible does not repeal the 4th Commandment. Hopefully you will divorce yourself from your preconcieved notions and let the plain scriptures speak to you.

Stop trying to avoid what the scriptures say about the Law

The Law was to bring us to the knowledge of sin, not that we are to live by it.

Romans 7:

[12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13] Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. [[25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

We do not live according to the Mosaic Law, we live according to the Law of Christ, which is by faith.

Law (of Christ), Summary: The new "law of Christ" is the divine love, as wrought into the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit Romans 5:5; Hebrews 10:16 and outflowing in the energy of the Spirit, unforced and spontaneous, toward the objects of the divine love ; 2 Corinthians 5:14-20; 1 Thessalonians 2:7,8. It is, therefore, " the law of liberty" ; James 1:25; 2:12 in contrast with the external law of Moses. Moses' law demands love, ; Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 6:5; Luke 10:27 Christ's law is love ; Romans 5:5; 1 John 4:7,19,20 and so takes the place of the external law by fulfilling it ; Romans 13:10; Galatians 5:14 http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/srn.cgi?book=2jo&chapter=001
