1Tim.1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully.

The fleshly mind show a you a person our ability for self-deception is so great, when reading Paul's words here where he states the law is good if it used lawfully. Of course many people being ignorant of the law and contractual law takes Paul's words here, and teach the its OK to be under the law if they uses it lawfully. Sadly, the law cannot be used lawfully without animal blood being offered, and the many other celebration demanded by the law performed. Moreover, when a Christian's use part(s) of the law and bind members of the body of Christ to it they are teaching apostasy no matter how wonderful or fallacious they argument our.

James 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."{Deuteronomy 27:26}

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"{Deuteronomy 21:23}

The Law was fulfilled by Christ this is the reason love fulfills the law, not animal blood or keeping it, because no one could keep it is the first place without sinning, let alone keep it without spelling much blood of animals for their sins. All those under another rule of law but the Christ, which puts them under the new covenant must walk in Chris, i.e., walk in love, not the old law, if they do they do no harm to their neighbor. The summation of the whole law in loving our neighbor as we do ourselves if a person cannot figure that out than they are willfully self-righteous by law, They need not judge the neighbor by the Old Law, or send their neighbor to offer up sacrifice for sin daily and yearly, they send them to Christ as they were sent loving them like they love themselves, having their sin atoned for once for all time letting them walk in love under the new covenant in Christ.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

James 2:8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"{Leviticus 19:18} you do well. 2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

Any other explanation of the law, that is, binding people to it again is unlawful uses making the person doing so a false teacher by illegally using of Law against those set free from it! If the law is used lawfully it can be explain how its judgment was set aside for our forgiveness in Christ, how we were set free from its judgment by having no condemnation in Christ, how all the good the law did it did not remove our sins complete as Christ has done, the law was good it brought us too the best place every Christ Jesus, and if a person teach anything else they are teaching a lie.

1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

The law is completed not half completed, no enforcement of the old law because a person does not think love is enough or strong enough is going exchange the truth of Christ for a lie. It does not matter one wit because truth is the law of love is the law of God's Kingdom and will be for all eternity the old law was but a shadow of the reality the new covenant, which is not weak, what is weak is the person thinking that goes beyond the new covenant from lack of faith in God's love, adding yeast to the teaching of Christ and calling it righteous. There is but one righteousness and its not the old law anymore for us Christian's, Christ is are righteousness, not works of law!

Romans 7:6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

Romans 7:4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

Romans 6:15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

Romans 3:28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
