Good post, I especially like this partNo, I want to be clear. It's not that we don't submit to God with our body and mind. The Bible is clear on that. The question is, what physical requirement is the Law talking about? Paul discussed one such Law that we addressed.
9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
There are physical requirements here. It's just that this Law was really never about feeding Oxen. Just like Jesus telling you that you can not enter heaven unless you eat His Flesh. There are physical requirements here, it's just up to us to "Study", not the internet or Calvin, or Benny Hinn, but the Holy Scriptures so we can, well, let me allow the Scriptures to tell you.
Rom. 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this worldor religions thereof) but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The religions of this world will not teach you the truth about God, just as the Mainstream religions of Jesus' Time didn't teach the truth about God. Until we understand this Biblical Truth, we have no Light. As it is written.
Is. 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
That's why Jesus stayed in the Law and Testimony, and taught you and I to Live by Every Word of God. He is the Light, we can trust Him. The internet, popular religions or religious philosophers of this world, not so much.
I agree that at least some of the laws are about something different than what we see in just the letters.There are physical requirements here. It's just that this Law was really never about feeding Oxen. Just like Jesus telling you that you can not enter heaven unless you eat His Flesh.

I have studied the scriptures and come to conclusions about those laws. I am sure you have done the same.
I think we have arrived at different conclusions. We can discuss those different conclusions, if you like.
The first questions I would ask in that discussion are:
Is the entire law about something different than what is stated in it, or just some of the laws?
If just some of the laws, do you have a list of those laws?
