Again, the modern Christian is giving words from His own mouth to God! You cannot do that!!!! Many, many things were fulfilled at the cross. It is up to us to know exactly what. Our God is so précises that tides and time can be counted by His plan. If you make a statement that you know all that Christ fulfilled, then follow through. God tells us in His scripture. God didn't toss it off with "righteousness". If you speak for God, then don't presume to toss it off with that word, either.

How does a legalist think the law is established?
They judge righteousness by it just as the Pharisees did.
Therefore they do not submit to the righteousness of God.
I'm not sure what point your trying to make here as it's a contradiction to your doctrine. You're a legalist and therefore judge righteousness by deeds of the law. For you the law, for righteousness, has not lead you to Christ as you still stubbornly hold to the law instead. Christ has become a stumbling stone for you.
As you have failed to perfectly keep the law then you're guilty of all the law (James 2:10).
You quote Matt 5:19 but then fail to see that it speaks against you.
The law is still in force for those without Christ, as their righteousness will be judged by it (Rev 20:12). Legalists are without Christ as they believe that without deeds of the law one is unrighteous. By their works of the law the legalists deny him (Tit 1:16).
As for Christians, our faith is counted for righteousness (Rom 4:5). Our names are in the book of life, hence our righteousness is not judged by the law of sin and death.
