It's obvious the law demands perfection, but cannot make any comers thereunto perfect, since it is faulty. Wrongful convictions is proof the law is not perfect, but imperfct.
Obedience unto law is obedience unto death, not life.
Obedience unto grace is obedience unto life, not death.

The law is the ministration of death.
Obedience to law = obedience to death.

We all are one.
We thus judge if one died for all, then were all dead = extinction, not salvation

The second law in Mt 22:36-40 law law is notably "like unto the first"; And the first law in Rom 8:2 law law is notably sin and death = dead end. Not to mention CJ is mirrorly reverse of JC, and JC is the only foundation to build on

God Shew,
Assuming you are looking for an honest and truthful answer to your question instead of just trying to make a point, I will answer you thusly:
Yes, no one is perfect and all "faithers" stuggle to uphold and keep God's law and all fall short of the "glory of God."
However, we have a 'secret weapon!' The Son of God, Jesus Christ took flesh, was born of the Virgin Mary and died for our sins on the cross. Our God is a living God and on the third day rose from the dead. We live in the light of the resurrection!
And this is the 'secret weapon': the light of the Resurrection. In the light of the Resurrection, we are given the grace to follow God's law and when we don't, we are given the grace of forgiveness.
Thus 'faithers' are not following God's law on their own power, but together with the power of a perfect God.
As to whether "God's Law" is perfect - yes - but do we fully know God's law - no - sadly, man has messed with God's law and twisted and perverted it. Someone once mentioned that as soon as God told us, "Thou shalt not kill..." we began coming up with exceptions to the rule - that got me thinking, what did God really mean?
And finally, there is living out the perfect law in an imperfect world - the law is good, but the world to which we are trying to apply it to is not always so good. And thus the law appears to be imperfect....
Hope this helps - peace to you!

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Christians are to obey the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which is grace and truth which came through Jesus Christ.

Christ fulfilled the law for us....because we could never keep the whole law (all 813 laws that there are)
We have been saved by grace apart from the works of the law
Thank God for grace....or else I would still be dead in my sins

Your last two sentences don't make sense at all. How can a person in his right mind claim that obeying the law means death. Stupid people make srupid statements.
