Shalom bloodygrace, I will have to go with what the Apostle Paul says, that the DOERS of the Law are Righteous before Elohim. I'm sure that Paul gained his insight and understanding from the Law of Elohim, as he was familiar with these Scriptures:
Isaiah 51:7 “Listen to Me, you who KNOW Righteousness, A people in whose heart is My Law; Do not fear the reproach of man, Nor be dismayed at their revilings."
Deuteronomy 4:5-8 “See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as Yahweh my Elohim commanded me, that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it. 6 “So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 “For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is Yahweh our Elohim whenever we call on Him? 8 “Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as Righteous as this Whole Law which I am setting before you today?
Deuteronomy 6:25 “It will be Righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all this commandment before Yahweh our Elohim, just as He commanded us.
Psalms 119:172 Let my tongue sing of Your Word, For all Your Commandments are Righteousness.
So bloodygrace, IF you think that Paul taught AGAINST the Law, and desired you NOT to be Righteous, why would he say that it is the DOERS of the Law who are Righteous? Blessings in The Name, ImAHebrew.
P.S. bloodygrace, are you familiar with Isaiah 8:20? Do you have any LIGHT?
