Law is an idol; caused all to commit fornication, puffed up in pride. (strangled blood etc)
Any one comes under the law HAVE THE "CURSE OF DEATH". And they cannot receive the TRUTH or the SPIRIT of CHRIST. In order to be married, The LORD wants the wife to die first as she is bound to the law. (Rom 7:1). Since the law is not a being, law was her idol. If not, GOD would not require her to die. This means she has spiritually fornicated. Law gave false knowledge to seek righteousness, life and the righteous character by it. False knowledge, according to Scripture PUFFS UP one and kills. But the Love of GOD or charity gives the truth to save.! That means gives pride, and speak against The LORD and His Word. If you speak against the knowledge of GOD, you exalt yourselves. 2 cor 10:5-6. Such should be avenged by those who obeyed CHRIST THE LORD, by the flaming sword, 2Thes 1:8. Such have the blindness from The LORD to think they are right and to preach falsely. Then false knowledge KILLS and they become blood guilty. Such are murderers. And it causes one to NOT worship THE One and only True GOD, but the law. Therefore, it causes one to commit spiritual fornication. THEY CANNOT RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT. Then, they are flesh and blood. Any teaching NOT ACCORDING TO Scripture, come from one's own mind which is deceitful above all things which kills and causes to puff up. That is why GOD calls the law "a serpent". It blinds one to the truth to know CHRIST THE LORD, and His wrath comes on such to even further blind them. ( Dan 11: 36 Isa 9:19). Therefore, they served the law, they feared and were under bondage of the law and could not serve The LORD. False knowledge will cause one to execute false judgments and such cannot have charity. But Scripture says "though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity,(agape love) I am nothing". AGAPE LOVE, comes only by The LORD and The LORD would not give to anyone who PUFFS UP in knowledge who teaches falsely.
