Well I agree, the law written on stone(or nine as written) is now in the heart and mind of believers. However, no one who espouses the following of Torah seems able to accept basic bible facts: Through the law we become conscious of sin:rom3:20If I understand you correctly, you propose an either-or dilemma. I propose that it is both. An unsaved person upon becoming saved is made conscious of the fact that he is a sinner when he realizes he has fallen short of the law and is thus a sinner in need of forgiveness. I think we both agree on that point.
Not sure you agree on this point that upon regeneration, the newly saved person now has the Levitical law written upon his heart. Since the law is in his heart he is able to do God's will - as instructed by the law. The Law or Torah simply means "instruction." The law which was formerly written on tablets of stone are now written in the hearts of believers that they might follow it.
If Torah is written in the mind and placed on the heart of believers you must(must) be conscious you sin by failing to observe it. And if Torah is written in the mind and heart and you have no consciousness of sin by failing to follow it, you could not be a Christian, for the law could not be in your heart and mind. But I guess, if the only thing that really matters is theological debate between Christians/those who have extensively read the bible, basic spiritual principals of truth can and must be ignored, or deflected from in order to continue such discussions. To my simple mind that is very sad
