Well, the Law is only good if one uses it lawfully (1 Timothy 1:8). I know a little, but I am not an expert. For my field of study is not the Torah because you cannot be justified by the Law of Moses (Acts of the Apostles 13:39). Gentile Christians are told that they do not have to keep the Law of Moses (Acts of the Apostles 15:5, Acts of the Apostles 15:24). We are told to serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter (Romans 7:6). Paul says if you seek to be justified by the Law (the Law of Moses), you have fallen from grace. So then what purpose or point is there in knowing the Law if it is useless or not beneficial to a believer?
Note: This was during the time of the Old Covenant before Christ was crucified and began the New Covenant. Anyways, my guess is that you simply cannot read and believe this passage above. You have to alter it to fit what you personally believe.
You seem to like to quote that Paul was against the law. Yet he kept it and even showed it by making a sacrifice and vow. Now IF he was as you say, that would have been the PERFECT time to say no, yet he did not. Acts 21:20-27...Acts 25:7-8. This was 25 years after the crucifixion and resurrection.
