Well, sticking stubbornly to a set of peculiar nomenclature is one sign of a lack of agape (I think of Paul who would “be all things to all people” to be able to share the gospel on the most effective level in the situation), though I believe I can begin to grasp what you’re intending.

You got to divide that word of truth accurately or you only get muddled mush.

Jesus said not a jot or tittle would be dropped from the Law “until all was accomplished.”

Now fast forward to His last moment on the Cross. What did He say.... YUP! Tetelosthai... IT IS FINISHED.

The Gospel work of Christ on that Cross sealed the salvations of all who will or did believe on Him for it... for all time. The role for the Law has changed to that of illustration. A saved life can fulfill the Law better and better, and in that sense the Law serves as a useful measuring rod for progress and correct direction, but the saved life does not look to what is behind but to what is ahead. The power of holiness comes from the promises and the Spirit of promise when claimed. Galatians backs this up further and so does Hebrews.

The Law which was our master becomes our servant.

Clearly I did not make myself clear enough.

In my Hermeneutics, I use the principle of first use
of a word in order to exegete the WORD.

The first use of the word: church i.e ekklesia
is in Deuteronomy 4:10

I do not choose to have man or a man-made
corporation re-define the WORD of YHvH.

Mat 5:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away,
not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law
until all is accomplished.
That seems to be at least the time of the end of the Book of Revelation.

Revelation 22:18 - 19

Paul, that super apostle, the Pharisee of Pharisees, explains the purpose of the Law and that is to lead us to Christ.

Too many people think that keeping it earns salvation.

Galatians 2 and 3 explain it well.
