Law makes grace "no more grace". Law imputed sin makes sinners all, none righteous, no, not one. God is one?
Who then is gonna save yer ass is grass via "law worketh wrath"(Rom 4:15) and law is a "ministration of death" (2Cor 3:7), if ye continue to add such "law worketh wrath" to "grace is sufficient", and thereby such law imputed sin makes sinners all, none righteous, no, not one; if God is one? And if adding law to grace makes it "no more grace", where then salvation by grace if it's then "no more grace"? A little leaven[law] leaventh the whole lump? A little cancer us law kills the whole body? (perhaps the whole body includes the head) Is it wise to law-impute deadly sin for the "hell" of it? Wouldn't it be as suicide-all to do "sow" & "such like"? Did "that God" in "Christ" do it to "them" in 2Cor 5:19?

- The conundrum is that if you try to obey God's Law out of a sense of having to do it to achieve salvation, you are hopelessly lost. God demands perfection. Our best efforts at righteousness are as ~filthy rags~ to God. Those who love God, love His Law also. It is a pleasure to live a lifestyle pleasing to God. The Torah is a written guide for God's people to conduct themselves. Yeshua the Messiah is the Living Word of God Who demonstrated and taught how to live. [He was 100% Torah-observant, because He is perfect God.] The Law-Grace dichotomy is that works by themselves are worthless to God. The ONLY way to be saved if thru Faith - then God will grant you Justification... i.e. you will be saved by the Grace of God! Those who understand this will continue to seek to do God's will (humanly imperfect just as we are) and good works which God wants done will be accomplished by the faithful followers who are being sanctified by God.
- Silly goose! The law reveals sin within in us, that we might call on the Name of Jesus and ask for forgiveness. It doesn't put sin in us.
- None righteous is referring to humans. Law convicts people of their sins so they are sinful. You cannot combine law and grace together. Grace is given to us no matter what we have done, it's not by good works we have done but the love of God toward us.
