Psalms 105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Therefore, how on earth can The Law be removed and how can it be a "curse"?:
Galations 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.."
Furthermore, Jesus never abolished The Law(this was acually Pauls doing)
Matthew 5:17-18 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill
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.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
Why do Christians elevate Paul over Jesus and King David??

Hogie, The Covenant of land and blessings was contingent upon the Israelites obeying The Law of Moses. I am sorry you think that I am ignorant. (You may be correct)

Paul didn't abolish the law either. He simply said that it is not the way of salvation, for man was without strength to keep it. It is Holy Just and Good, and we should not be breaking it, but salvation is only through YAHOSHUA, the Savior, the "Son" of YHVH.

The curse of the law is seen in everyone who does not live by faith. That is, guilt, fears and worries, powerlessness, inferiority, insecurity, infighting - these manifestations of the curse show the flesh at work. Jesus bore the curse of the law so that through faith we may know peace, power, identification with Christ, and so on - these are all manifestations of the Spirit triumphing over the flesh.
God's covenant indeed endured forever - the covenant of faith that began with Abraham: "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." Those who walk in faith will be blessed with believing Abraham. God has not forgotten that covenant (of which there were several throughout the OT).
We do not elevate Paul over Jesus or King David. He was one more messenger God used to communicate His truth to us.

He did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill the law. (Matthew 5:17 King James Version)

Because Psalm 105 is not referring to that covenant; the old covenant. It is referring to another covenant.
Read verse 9.
How incredibly ignorant......

Because he did remember the covenant with man he determined that because man could not live under the law and comply with all of God's will that he would make another way. That the New Covenant through which Jesus is the Way.
