It is the Bible that tells us that if we think that keeping the law will save us, those who reject the salvation of Jesus, are under the law. Not me.
It is the Lord in the Bible (Jesus) saying, that if we do hearken to Him, to keep all His commandments, and do them,
that we shall live, and multiply, and take possession of the promised land. To me.
Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them,
that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.
Deuteronomy 4:1
Somehow you are finding and interpreting scripture which contradicts this promise of His.
Is God's word (Jesus) no longer true?
To be on top of the law would be above the law. Are you under the law of Australia, meaning, are you subject to its authority, and liable for punishment if you break it? That is what being under the law means.
It is an expression.
To be on top of something means to know that something well, and be comfortable doing it.
The Lord in that verse is saying we will be on top of all things,
if and when we keep all His commandments, to do them.
And this has been my experience.
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord;
and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth,
and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father:
for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 58:14
Not a single passage above answers what I asked you to do below.
Every one of those verses I listed tells us, "all the words of this law".
Which answers your question, which commandments.
Do you want me to list all the words of the law here?
I don't think so.
But you should write them.
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of His kingdom,
that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book
out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
Deuteronomy 17:18
Now you sometimes provide us with the list of verses that justify you.
A selection of sayings from St Paul.
Which I understand is the standard Christian practice.
I notice also, that other sayings of St Paul are carefully avoided, or explained away,
where ever he shows clearly he truly is an advocate of the law.
And his faith was in God's word.
And that list of sayings confounded me at first too.
Christians do push them very vigorously.
And I prayed and studied them deeply, because, clearly,
the Christian interpretations of those particular sayings go against all the Lord says in His law,
and in most of the rest of scripture.
Which is why you are calling me out as wrong,
for I believe in keeping all the Lord's word in scripture,
rather than believing the standard Christian interpretations, which say that God's law ended.
And the Lord confirmed it for me, that is what He wants.
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Exodus 31:16
