Much can be said about this but this would not be the place to delve too deeply into it. However, David being both King and Prophet understood this "spiritual" concept of the carnal law. It occupied his thoughts continually. With each new discovery wrought in his mind from the marvelous light that burst forth as the horns of a rising sun, he was obsessed with going further into the unsearchable regions of the worth, value and expanse of the "spiritual law."
But, on the other hand, we are never too far away from the hiss of the serpent in the tree of knowledge...."sssss...thou shalt not surely die...." The wise man will turn from hearing the hiss and will turn to the tree of life and wonder at the life-giving powers in the fruit from it's tree...the law of the Lord.

I'm not completely following your response.
The "ceremonial law" was nailed to the cross, and the moral law is now spiritualized?
Speaking of which, does everyone agree in the distinction of laws: moral, ceremonial, civil? Seems to be a dispy-type distinction accepted by many. So with the moral law (10 Commandments) now spiritualized, does that mean they are still in the form of "thou shalt not kill, etc..." or they are defined only by and through the Gospel lens, and that of the cross.
If we could, please say it plainer so us slower folks can understand.
