Where no law, there no transgression: Romans 4:15.
Woman, being dec'd, was in transgression: 1Tim2:14.
Allegory: woman(church), being dec'd, was in the law.

What law? Where "the law" of "commandments": Eph 2?
Perhaps "it" is in Genesis 2: 17 of Genesis 2: 16 -vs- 17.
Perhaps when "it is finished" it brings death: James 1:15.
And if other laws were added: because of transgression?
10 were added at Horeb-Bull; And 613 more in the Torah.
Then perhaps abolishing one tree law: abolished all laws.
That'll be10 pts pls, for solving this mystery for you.
But wait, isn't it a triple mystery in Colossians 2:2
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

It is the 10 Commandments. The Law of Moses was for people in the old Bible up until Jesus's time.

No one ever kept the Law except Jesus Christ. God's standards are too high for us. The Law is to teach us that we need the forgiveness and the power of Jesus Christ to live a life acceptable to God. The Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the Law of Sin and Death (Law of Moses with punishments) Moses Law was given at the first Pentecost when the Jews came out of Egypt. The Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus was given at the second Pentecost, and the coming of the Holy Spirit 50 days after the crucifixion of Christ. However, everyone living is still under the Law of Moses. That is, they will be judged by the Law of Moses... unless they have been born of the Spirit, regenerated by faith in Jesus Christ. Only those who have become Children of God by faith in Christ are no longer under the Law, but under grace, and the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.

The purpose of the law of Moses was to tell us what sin is or rather what is sin. The purpose for that was so that all men would know that they are sinners. The law that we're under, as has already been mentioned, is grace, and we continue to be under grace until we sin and then we place ourselves back under the law and are judged by the law. According to Romans 2 those who have never heard the law are under the law of conscience. If a person lives by grace, which is the power and the desire to do God's will, then they will not be under the control of sin, and will not sin. But as Romans says we are slaves of the one who we obey, so as soon as we obey sin then the law judges us as sinners and we are guilty of sin whether we're Christians or not.

God's people were failing miserably in the old testament law, that is why God sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins so we can be saved by faith instead of the law. So to answer your question, we are not under a law any longer, because of Jesus we are saved by faith. This is not to say that one should ignore the ten commandments altogether, God is happy when he see's his children following these commandments in their lives daily.

The 2 commandments of Jesus: Love God, and love your neighbor.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.

Some of the protestants are building another of their ideas into a faux reality because "God leads us." 5 years from now they all will tell you that their way began before Roman Catholicism on the subject of the 10 commandments.

Then Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all our heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandant. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the laws and prophets.
I did a study on this...
Heart=our emotions
Soul=human will (ie. what we want to do, or be or have...)
Mind=thoughts
The heart, soul & mind make up the outer man. Who we are apart from God. Love God with all of our outer man, thus allowing the inner man to flow through us. The inner man is made alive at salvation and where the Holy Spirit lives.
