Paul says in Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. In other words if there is no law there is no sin. Sin is not imputed or no blame can be accredited to any person when there is no law. Now, let’s see what Sin is according to the Bible in I John 3:4 it states, "whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." So if the law was nailed to the cross that would mean its okay to use the Lords name in vain, put other gods before HIM, make graven images and bow before them, pollute the Sabbath day, steal, commit murder, commit adultery and bear false witness. If all these things are okay to commit, then we might as well throw the Bible out the back door and do what ever feels good to us.
We will see that Paul was in fact a law keeper and how he preached out of the Law and the Prophets.
The law of God was never nailed to the cross. It is immutable and eternal (Matthew 5:17–18; Psalm 119:89). Yet we are no longer under its curse, for we are under Christ, who fulfilled the law in us (Romans 8:3–4; Galatians 3:13). God has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57).
Are you suggesting that these are things you would like to do but refrain from doing in order to earn salvation, at least in part? No truly saved person desires to do such things (1 John 3:9). We walk after the Spirit (Romans 8:1, 4–5; Galatians 5:16). If salvation depended on our refraining from these behaviors, then we would live under the threat of eternal damnation, and fear would be our motivation (Romans 4:15). But because the law has been fulfilled in us by Christ, our motivation is love alone (2 Corinthians 5:14; 1 John 4:18–19).
Now let's begin by taking a look at both of the laws and how they worked together. We will see there were two laws given to Moses, they were the commandments and the sacrificial law. Watch how they worked together.
I do not believe you have established that there were two laws from the biblical text. I don't think that you can because it is not there in the bible.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: (Leviticus 4:1-2) The law in the scriptures above is the commandments.
Notice something else very important in these two scriptures. It states, "if a soul shall sin through ignorance." Notice that the scripture did not says on purpose. Why? There is no sacrifice for a sin that is committed willfully. Let's find out what was to be done if a person committed a sin against the Lord unintentionally. Let's skip down to the 27th verse and take a look at the second law (which is the sacrificial law).
Almost all sins are committed willfully, and if one takes Christ’s Sermon on the Mount to heart, we realize that we sin far more than we are willing to admit (Matthew 5:21–22, 27–28, 48; Romans 3:23). That is why John reminded his flock,
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Yet we cannot confess what we are unaware of.
And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. (Leviticus 4:27-30)
You do relize that we are under the new covenent. The New Covenant is God’s gracious promise, established through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, by which He forgives sins and writes His law on the hearts of His people. Unlike the Old Covenant, which was based on the law written on stone and mediated through continual sacrifices, the New Covenant is grounded in Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah foretold this covenant:
“I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people… for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more” (Jeremiah 31:31–34; cf. Ezekiel 36:26–27).
Jesus declared that His blood was the seal of this New Covenant:
“This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20; cf. 1 Corinthians 11:25). Hebrews explains that Christ is the mediator of this covenant, which makes the old one obsolete (Hebrews 8:6–13; 9:15). In the New Covenant, God’s people are no longer under the condemnation of the law (Romans 8:1–4), but are empowered by the Spirit to walk in obedience, motivated not by fear but by love (2 Corinthians 3:6; Romans 5:5).
When the common people sinned through ignorance and it came to their knowledge, what did they have to do? They brought an offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for their sin which they had committed, then the priest would offer the animal to the Lord. Think about this for a moment. If an animal was killed for a person that committed sin, what will happen to us today if we a trespass against the Lord?
Now we see how the sacrificial law was used when a person broke a commandment unintentionally.
Let's go into Paul's writings and take another look at both of these laws. We will go into the Book of Galatians chapter 3. This is one of the chapters that the majority of Christian preachers use to do away with the Lord's commandments. Now, let's read carefully!
You will have to take this up with preachers who preach that, just as I take up the issues of salvation by works with thise who teach that.
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (Galatians 3:19)
And the seed has come.
1. “It was added because of transgressions”
Paul is explaining that the law was not the original plan for humanity’s relationship with God. The promise of God to Abraham (Genesis 12:1–3; 15:1–6) came before the law and was based on faith, not works. The law came later “because of transgressions,” meaning it was added to reveal sin, regulate behavior, and make people aware of their need for God’s grace (Romans 3:20; 5:20). It functions as a custodian, showing what is right and wrong until the Messiah comes.
2. “Until the offspring should come”
The law was temporary, in place only “until the offspring [Greek: sperma] should come.” Paul identifies this “offspring” as Christ (Galatians 3:16), the one in whom the promises to Abraham are fulfilled. Once Christ came, faith in Him—not adherence to the law—became the means of receiving the promised blessing of righteousness.
3. “Put in place through angels by a mediator”
This phrase likely reflects Jewish understanding of Sinai, where the law was given with heavenly involvement (Acts 7:53; Exodus 19:16–25) and mediated by Moses. Paul emphasizes that the law was given through a mediator, whereas the promise to Abraham was directly from God. This contrast highlights the superiority of the promise over the law and sets up his argument that justification comes by faith, not by works of the law.
Take heed to what Paul's says above, "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions." What is transgression? Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (I John 3:4) Transgression is braking of the commandments. What law was added because of the braking of the law? The sacrificial law! Paul is simply asking these Gentiles, "why perform the sacrificial law? It was added because of sin until the seed should come. Who is the seed?
Let's back up in this chapter and find out.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ. (Galatians 3:16) Who is the SEED? CHRIST! So, this law was added (which is the sacrificial law) until Christ came. What was the sacrificial law used for until Christ came? Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. (Galatians 3:24)
The sacrificial law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Before we continue, we must clear one thing up. Are we justified by faith alone? Let's see. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (Romans 3:31) What law is established? Certainly not the sacrificial law, we have seen above that it was added because of transgression until the Seed came (which was Christ). The Royal law to be established forever which are the Ten Lords commandments!
You premis that is not supported by scripture. It is an assumption that Paul parsed the law.
