Since both the you are at about the same level let me see if I can make it simple enough for you to understand.
All Christians today are somewhere from having left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea, and are now in the wilderness struggling to find their way to the promised land that for us is heaven on earth.
Seven weeks into their journey they arrived at Mount Sinai where the law was given at the time of Pentecost. Therefore, it is the job of the Holy Spirit given to us at pentecost to fulfill the promise of God to write his laws upon our heart. (Let me know if you need Scripture for this or anything else)
When those laws are understood as mature Christians able to eat meat because those who are immature when they read the law can only drink milk. (Because when the law was read at the time of Pentecost through a "literal only understanding of the law," they thought the law forbid the eating of meat and drinking milk at the same time). However, those who have a mature understanding of the law know that the purpose of the law is to bring us to Christ, because when understood spiritually the laws are directional signs for how we are to get through the wilderness and into the promised land at the time of Tabernacles when the Israelites were supposed to enter in. Unfortunately they could not because of the sin of unbelief in the truth and they could only enter in by crossing the Jordan (death). Therefore, they failed because of their literal understanding of the law we are told there still remains a rest for the people of God
On the other hand those who know the truth of the law know they can eat meat and drink milk at the same time because the law is not to be taken literally.
The sin of unbelief was they did not think they could conquer the promised land because they were lacking faith. For us our faith is what we believe but without understanding the law spiritually you will never learn the truth that is necessary to know BEFORE CHRIST CAN EVER BE FORMED IN YOU!
Without understanding the law spiritually you will never move beyond the mere basics (milk) and will continue to remain in bondage to whatever traditions and doctrines of men your church teaches. Because the law of the seed is simple to understand I continually point out that without understanding the law of the seed you will never learn how the seed that is Christ in you can mature into the tree of life that is Jesus Christ a.k.a. Christ formed in you.
Understanding the spiritual aspects of the laws allows them to become your tutors and governors. Because, when the Bible says that Christ is the end of the law, it is not saying that the law has come to its end, but instead the word translated as “end” means the fulfillment of it. Consequently the verse is saying that Christ is the fulfillment of the law which is exactly I'm trying to say to you and your friend. Unfortunately neither of the two of you have yet to be able to figure it out.
When Christ fulfilled the law he did not fulfill it by a literal interpretation given evidence by His sabbath day works. That was why the Pharisees found so much fault with him because in their limited mindset Jesus was breaking the law because their understanding was not, "mixed with faith". However, when considered spiritually wise Jesus fulfilled the law so well that every "T" was crossed and every "I"was dotted.
And to this day the church has no idea what that means but when the law is understood and taught as Jesus said it is to be in Matthew chapter 5, by those who Jesus said will called great in His kingdom, is when you'll start to see the church doing the same miracles that the 1st century church did.
Therefore I continue to say when the truth returned to the church so will signs and wonders returned to the church......... including the one you go to !!!
