>>Paul is comparing following Judaism to following the Way.<<

That is preposterous. Only two verses later he obviously is talking about the whole law.

Galatians 5:14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word,

Earlier in the chapter he said this.

Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.

Not a good place for those of you pushing the law.

What is preposterous is your arrogant replies to what is clear fact.

Circumcision and Judaism are almost perfect synonyms as used in the NT.

Justification by the Law is a tennet of Judaism’s error.

The Galatians were being prodded by Pharisees to follow their rules, and Paul was directing them back to the Way.

Your empty reading of the chapter is like a dog chasing its own tail.

And finally, I do not push “the law,” I push obedience to his commandments, as he demanded, and as all of the four great apostles concurred.

It appears as though you fear that obedience for some reason, while his followers embrace it. Love is the reason for the law, and why he writes his laws on the hearts of those that seek him.
