I think I would like a Brickjectivity definition of law so I might know what you are talking about.
Two things: Law and L-RD must always be defined together. As the definition of one changes so does the other. As there is the 'Letter' and the 'Spirit' of the Law, there is also the 'Letter' and the 'Spirit' of the L-RD. On paper L-RD is a covenant that binds Jews together. Its a talking covenant, but its a covenant. But what is that covenant? It is Letters, but then there is also the Spirit, and Christians should receive a spirit of adoption into that covenant.
- Deut 4:6 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"
- I Corinthians 6:17 "But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."
Burning Bush
The unspiritual person passes over the letters and sees nothing but letters. For them its like seeing a bush burning in the desert, and they pass by. The person who practices the Law (or the spiritual person) sees much more. They see the bush isn't burning and hear a voice come out of it! It is a still, small voice. On paper the Law is part of a covenant that orders society. It says "Break the law, and you die!' Lawless people look at it and say "Its only a piece of paper!" From the start there is more than one way of perceiving the Law, and people don't like that. You can analyze it with computers and find out how many times letter Aleph is written down, because it is tangible. You can read it and say you have read it. So you can analyze it and know what it says yet miss the point. You can't do that to God as God might contain an infinite number of Alephs. No one can analyze God.
What about 'Christians' ?
The arrival of Jesus invites all people everywhere to join in the house of faith. Christians from the start have disagreements about how this should be implemented. "Should Christians be circumcised?" Paul and Peter say 'No' in
Acts. Others said 'Yes'. ( Women say "I am glad I don't have to make that decision!" ) So how does the Christian perceive the Law, and how does he or she be spiritual? How does a Christian hear the voice from the burning bush? I say however they can, let them. I don't want to stand in between.
Mediators
I hope I have shown why it is hard to define 'Law' in Christianity. You'd have to define what the spirit of the Law is! First, there is more than one definition. The question becomes "Which definition are you capable of perceiving?" Do you see that the bush is not burning? Do you hear a still, small voice? Well then, there should be no one between you and that voice. If you are wearing shoes, the voice will even tell you to remove them.
