contrasted to the tree of knowledge (Gen 2:17, 3:22). In summary the Unfulfilled
Law, God / Christ (Deut 30:10, John 1:1, 14, 2 Cor 5:21, Rev 22:18-19), is fulfilled
by He, God / Christ (Mat 5:17), who is both the Unfulfilled Law of commandment
and the Fulfilled Law of salvation in eternal and perfect antinomy via the
hypostatic union of Christ (2 Cor 5:21, 1 Tim 2:5).

Christ is the fulfilled Law (Mat 5:17), whereas the Law was previously unfulfilled
by man (Jer 31:33-4, 2 Cor 3:6, Heb 8:10-11). The only, single and all-inclusive
route to this fulfilled Law of salvation, the Law of Christ, is faith in Christ (Rom
3:22, James 1:25). The Law also contains all the commandments of Christ and the
New Testament (Deut 30:10, Mat 5:18-19, 23:3, John 14:21, Heb 8:10-11, Rev
22:18-19). The indirect purpose of the Law, as with the Tree of Life or Law of
Christ, was eternal life (Mat 19:16-17) as a converting teacher leading towards the
Tree of Life i.e. Christ (Psalms 19:7, Gal 3:24).

As Christians are worthy (Rom 8:1) and are part of the Body of Christ (Eph 5:30)
they are excluded from the condemnation attaching to those not discerning the
Lord’s body and blood (1 Cor 11:27-30). Those under the Law are under this
condemnation of death both Earthly and Eternal (1 Cor 11:27) but as with all these
default, generic condemnations of death (such as: Rom 1:29-32, 2:1-22, 3:10, 6:23,
Eph 5:5, Rev 22:18-19) this is enacted or otherwise according to the operation of
the Prime Principle for that unsaved individual (Rom 8:28, 1 Cor 12:7, 11). 1
Corinthians 12:7 & 11 refer to the totality of an individual's experience, Christian
or otherwise, and not just their position in relation to the specific gifts (1 Cor 12:3,
7 11). All the commandments of the New and Old Testaments involve sin
whenever they are not kept by those under the Law (Gen 2:17, Deut 30:10, Rom
4:15, 7:7, 10:4), all of them are included in the Law (Deut 31:26, 2 Kings 22:8,
Rom 3:10, 20, Gal 3:10, Rev 22:18-19). Therefore all are excluded as
commandments to those not under the Law (Rom 10:4) except the two great
commandments which are the Tree of Life’s commandments upon which the Law's
applicability to Christians is ended by fulfilment (Prov 10:12, Mat 5:17, Mat 22:40,
Rom 10:4). The two great commandments can be subsumed into one, once it is
understood that God is our neighbour too (Gal 5:14) and that the Love referred to
is perfect love (1 John 4:18) and that God is love (1 John 4:8) and that such a love
will love God first of all (Mat 22:37-38). This is why the love of neighbour
commandment fulfills all the Law (Gal 5:14).
