The (unfulfilled) Law is 'ended' generically (has no effect i.e. there is no one under
               it) after the last being repents (Mat 5:18, Luke 16:17) i.e. it is not chosen anymore
               and that is why although, as God, it continues to exist it is not mentioned in the
               curseless Second Creation (Rev 22:3), unlike the Tree of Life (Rev 22:2-3). Those
               in the Lake of Fire after the Last Judgement are condemned by the Law as opposed
               to being under it (Mat 5:18). The Law was superseded as the prophetically
               revealed measure of righteousness, albeit as a secondary will, at the time of John
               the Baptist's ministry (Mat 21:32, Luke 16:16). The Law has always applied, and
               continues to do so as the generic default (Luke 16:17), to all unsaved people
               including the pre-fallen parabolical Adam as well as evolved men, whether they
               have prophetically ‘received’ it or not (Ezek 18:4-9, Rom 2:12-16, 3:19).  It forms
               part of the invisible things of God known to all (Rom 1:18-21, 2:12-16). The
               conscious mind’s awareness or otherwise is not the same thing as the spiritual
               awareness that every man has via his basic spirit (Rom 2:14-15, 26-27, 29) for the
               Law and that is why all are guilty under the Law (Rom 2:12, 14-15, 3:19-20,
               4:15).  This also explains why the Word says that all the world is guilty under the
               Law as all are under the Law (Rom 3:19).  All men have known sin, have eaten of
               the forbidden fruit, the Law, that is they know the difference between good and
               evil (Rom 3:20).  The unfulfilled Law gives this awareness and is this forbidden
               fruit because it does not give the ability to be good (Rom 3:20).


               The universal, generic applicability of the Law (Rom 7:1, 1 Cor 9:21) is proved by
               the statement that only being under the Law causes one to be under the judgement
               of sin (Rom 4:15), which since all are guilty (Rom 3:23) proves that all men are
               under the Law until taken from it by Christ (Rom 6:14).  All non Christians must
               keep the whole Law (Rom 7:1, Jam 2:10). The verse Romans 4:15 also establishes
               that the parabolical Adam and Eve prior to their ‘Fall’, were under the Law (for
               Adam pre-Fall it was the Law-in-the-spirit) and the evolved men (under the Law-
               in-spirit-and-flesh), and aware of this by their basic spirit (Rom 2:15, 4:15, 7:14,
               21, Jam 4:17) though not in their conscious mind aware of all the details (the Law-
               in-spirit-and-flesh-in-detail).


               This is why when the forbidden fruit was 'eaten' by the parabolical Adam, it was
               partaken of by the flesh of the parabolical Adam so that he came under the law-in-
               spirit-and-flesh).  The parabolical Adam and Eve, pre-’Fall’, were under the Law-
               in-spirit (Gen 1:28-29, 2:17, Rom 4:15, 5:12-13) but they did not know that then
               (Rom 5:13). They were not righteous at all prior to the 'Fall' since they were under
               the Law (the Law-in-spirit) not to partake of the Law-in-spirit-and-flesh which
               proscription is part of the Law (Gen 2:17), and had God’s commandment hanging
               over their heads (Gen 1:28-29, 2:17), which was the Law-in-spirit (Gen 2:17, Rom
