If we use the Ten Commandments as our model of LAW, then we can say, it is never okay to disobey that law. Thou shall not murder, thou shall not steal, thou shall not commit adultery, etc is law that ever-abides. We can label this Law, the Moral Law or Natural Law, that is hardwired into our spirits, with or without the knowledge of the ten commandments per se.
The Law of the Old Testament is a blend of ceremonial law and moral law. The ceremonial law of the OT is a type and picture of that which is fulfilled in the New Testament. The New expunges the Old. The ceremonial law of the OT does not ever-abide. The moral law of the OT ever-bides. thou shall not murder, is still in force today. However there is a clear difference between the letter of the Law and the spirit of the Law. The Law hasn't changed, but our perception of the Law has. The truth of the Law is that mitigating circumstances that violate the letter but are in keeping with the spirit of the Law is compliance. By the letter, lying is wrong. By the spirit, lying is OK to save a person's life. For example, you don't tell a distraught ex-boyfriend with a gun where his scared ex-girlfriend is hiding. You lie, and fulfill the Law. The Law does not abide without mercy. Legalism is against the Law and is man made, and is religion.
Legalism is when you apply the letter of the law without mercy, and without regard to mitigating circumstances, and with no sense of justice. Legalism is evil. The Law is good and ever-abides.

The Jewish law hung there on the cross & Jesus fulfilled the law. I have any verses I could give you, but I won't only to say Let no man Judge you in the law, In the Sabbath, Of holydays, New moon, & since Jesus fulfilled the law, to a point yes, But to the final point no.

ABSOLUTELY!! I am referring to the commandment law....not the ceremonial laws of the Jews.
Psalms 111:7,8 "all His commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever , and are done in truth and uprightness."
Romans 3:31 " Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Some laws are necessary in order to maintain a level of civility, however for every law that is legislated, in most cases citizens lose freedom...

Laws help to establish justice. God says, "I will write my laws upon their hearts." This, I think, shows that law is subjective to divine intuitive order.
