Regardless, it is impossible for you to keep the law in Texas. Some parts of the law require living in the promised land.

Being unable to bear doesn’t mean unable to keep.
John’s parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth, including Paul himself kept the law and considered blameless. Sometimes it looks like we are accusing God of unfairness. Which He created a law system which no one could follow. Then when they fail at it, they are severely punished? Adam and Eve weren’t given a law which was impossible to keep. Don’t eat from this one tree. Yet, a series of events caused the transgression. Same with the nation of Israel. No, Peter isn’t talking about impossibility of law keeping, but heaviness of law keeping.
