The point that I'm making to MaryZ is theological, she claims to be a Christian ( I think) but is denying the very basics of Christianity by asserting that after the Resurrection one can save himself, and even better, a pharisee can do it by keeping the Law. Well no one could "save" himself or anyone else, before or after, God is the only Savior. As a Christian, she is either denying Christ's work on the cross as the completed Plan of Salvation and the old Law is done away with, or she does not comprehend it.

Comprehension is subjective. Again, I refer you back to Matthew 5. Law done away with? Your Messiah said "18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled". Obviously "all" hasn't been fulfilled yet cuz Heaven and earth are still here. Trinitarian interpretations of such things as "the fall" and "original sin" seem to fog one's perception.

In Christ, we have a new creation, all things are being made new, when He returns it will be complete
