It's really too bad that you didn't keep reading what Paul wrote to the church at Rome. Romans 8:1-4 says, " There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
That plainly says that Christians are no longer under the Old Testament Law; our lives in Christ Jesus are governed by the Holy Spirit.
Hopefully this will save you a lot of typing, trying to prove something contrary to what Scripture clearly says.
Not really dear friend your misreading the scriptures. The law of sin and death in ROMANS 8 is not the 10 commandments it is the sinful carnal mind or the flesh that sins.
See the context here...
ROMANS 7:5 [5], For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
ROMANS 7:23-24 [23], BUT I SEE ANOTHER LAW IN MY MEMBERS, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity TO THE LAW THAT IS IN MY MEMBERS [24], O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the BODY OF THIS DEATH?
Too bad you did not pay attention to what you quoted which only supports what is being shared here...
ROMANS 8:1-4 [1], THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT. [2], FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE HAS MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. [3], For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: [4], THAT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.

ROMANS 8:12-14 [12], Therefore, brothers, WE ARE DEBTORS, NOT TO THE FLESH, TO LIVE AFTER THE FLESH.[13], FOR IF YOU LIVE AFTER THE FLESH, YOU SHALL DIE: but IF YOU THROUGH THE SPIRIT DO MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, YOU SHALL LIVE.[14], FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD.
GALATIANS 5:16[16], THIS I SAY THEN, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, AND YOU SHALL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH.
Please also read ROMANS 6:1-23
Now what is it in the scriptures provided here that you disagree with?
Hope this helps.
