Romans 8:2 Law Law? Is the second not like the first as told us in Mt 22:36-40 Law Law?
Mt 22:36-40 Law Law Law: Love the Lord thy God Law: Love thy neighbor Rom 8:2 Law Law Law: of sin & death Law: of the Spirit Mt 22 notes the second(law) is like the first(law). Plug this info in Rom 8:2, the 2nd also a dead end. The law is not of faith: Gal 3:12 And whatsoever is not of faith is sin: Rom 14:23 So Love(God) thy neighbor by "law" is "sin" & "death". For the law is a "ministration of death" in 2Cor 3:7. Law is the strength of sin's death sting in 1Cor 15:56. Law is old, faulty, and ready to vanish in Hebrews 8. Law knowledge, which puffeth up, shall vanish in 1Cor 13. Evidence points to law being the "enmity" in Eph 2:15. And when connecting biblical allegory dots law is evil: Mt 6: Our Father...deliver us from "evil". Rom 7:6 We are delivered from "the law". Law is good, but it's also evil: corruptible. Grace also good, but never evil: incorruptible. The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

- in your first example (Mt 22:36-40) Jesus is answering the question put to him by the Pharisees, what is the greatest commandmeant in the law (by this they most likely ment in the Torah, which is also called the Pentateuch or the first five books of the Bible) If you care to look in Genesis, when Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, there was only one law and that was to avoid eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If there had been no law, there could not have been sin, so without the law there could be no evil! The law is like a mirror that shows us what we are really like, desperately in need of God's forgiveness. The second is like the first because they both show us the reality of our need for a Savior.
- The law of sin and death is the law for the person with the uncircumcised heart. The law of the Spirit is the law of the person with the circumcised heart. The uncircumcised heart is under the curse found in the law. But with the circumcised heart grace abounds and the curse of the law is removed. The circumcised heart does the instructions of the law by nature.
- thats good. you are a good christian God will bless you and your family
