The purpose of the Moral Law is to enlighten us as to how to behave in such a way that it is possible for us to grow in charity.
No Arthur ..that is not what the scriptures say ..Arthur you really need a good bible study
Gal 3:23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Galatians 2:16 know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
You are correct that the law continues in effect.. but only for those that seek to be justified by it.. ( an impossibility ..because only Christ can keep it perfectly)
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.
Arthur you continue kick against the goad ... come to Christ ..let Him carry your burden for you
