I politely suggest that you are using "common sense" reasoning that, although it has a feel of reasonableness, does not align with what scripture teaches. Consider this from Romans 7:
But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter
I suggest that a careful writer - and I think it is clear that Paul is indeed such a writer - would never say we have been "released" from a law when he really believes that we are "now enabled to follow the law".
Or to put it another way: what Biblical case do you have for the Law of Moses being still in force. Here is a case for it having been set aside:
Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 [m]by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
Surely this "law" has been abolished is the Law of Moses which functioned to mark the Jew out from the Gentile.
the release I believe is the loosing them of the oath which is
binding
clear here means innocent, guiltless etc.
An example....
Ge 24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt
be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
Ge 24:41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one,
thou shalt be clear from my oath.
The oath taken of the people to which they were bound.
Deut. 29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and
into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: {enter: Heb. pass }
13 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But
with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also
with him that is not here with us this day:
Not a covenant made with their fathers.
Deut 5:2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3
The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for
ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount
saying,
Heb 12:18 For
ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For
they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said,
I exceedingly fear and quake
22 But
ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
