I'm starting to think there's a bit of confusion here, probably on my part in not understanding the phrasing that some are using.
I have always been suspicious of those who create a distinction between "the law of God" and "the law of Moses", or who might theoretically claim "the law" means "the law minus the ten commandments".
I'd also like to point out that when people say "the ten commandments" there are actually TWO things in view. One, the tables of stone and the words written thereon, and Two, the CONTENT (meaning) of those words. For example, Thou shalt not kill is a series of words written on stone, but it is also a concept expressed by those words. I'm not sure if I'm being clear about that, but it goes to the dual meaning of the Greek word logos, which means not only an expressed word, but the IDEA being expressed by that word. Hope that was clearer than mud lol.
