What is wrong thinking about the law of God?

The moment one quotes scripture, like, “we are not under law but under grace”, Rom.6:14, you get people defending the law with all their might, rejecting the post, and calling one a heretic. The typical defense will come in arguments like, the law is our tutor, or the law upholds morality, or they claim you're saying the law is sinful. The most common argument is when they say, even though the law cannot save one, it does not mean we do not have to practice it.

Arguments like these are typically raised by believers, —yes, you read that correctly, believers. Either believers who lean too much upon a legalistic faith, or uninformed believers who have a carnal opinion of spiritual things without having studied the Word to discover the truth that is presented clearly and concisely in its pages.

So, how does one correct such carnal thinking?

1. Tutorship of the law: The tutorship of the law aims to justify us, and it accomplishes this with little empathy. It brings us to Christ by showing our weakness and inability to keep it. If one does not respond positively to its aggressive tutorship, condemnation is the result.
   
   
2. You claim the law is sinful: Nowhere in my post do I claim or indicate that the law is sinful. Not at all. Rom.7:12 says the law is holy, just and good. Verse 14 says it is spiritual, but when that which is spiritual and pure is applied to canal man, it is going to produce a counter-effect. Paul, in Rom.7:13 says that the law, which is good, works death in us, because we are sinful. So, the law by nature is good, and its purpose is to bring us to Christ. But once it has achieved that purpose, the law has NO further part to play in a believer as it should be substituted with the newness of the Spirit. (Explained in point #3)
   
   
3. … But, this doesn’t mean we do not now need to keep God’s law: I have no argument with this. I am not against the law as it is moral and can keep sin suppressed. But there is also an understanding that counters the law. Paul writes to Timothy saying,
   

   1Ti_1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, …

   So, as one grows in, and is edified by the Word, as one becomes renewed in mind and understanding, the Word within one will start to influence one's life and living. Walking by the Word will produce the fruit of the Spirit. The law becomes more and more ineffectual in one's life as Christ is formed in them. I can argue that if the law is still playing a large part in a believer, then it is an indication that they are not growing in the Word, and that Christ is not forming in them. The Christian life is one that needs to grow up and mature to the point that the law is inconsequential.

The law will always be around, and is good in society to deter sin (as far as that is possible), but the view that I wrote about in this post is to point out that we, as believers, should not be relying on the law, which for us brings condemnation and death, but to rely on the indwelling Spirit of Life, which is the Word of God, and that we should allow it to flow out of us freely, by the abundance of it inside of us. The result then will nullify the need for the law, but also uphold it, because the Word will produce the law of God in us habitually and naturally.
