Of course it does not puff me up in pride.
But I am saying that if anyone looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, they will be blessed in their deed (James 1:25).
This apparently contradicts what you have posted out of Galatians 3:10.
Now reconcile the two.
Of course, I have already reconciled them in a post above (https://christianchat.com/threads/galatians-discussion.203410/post-4745814).

There is coming a "lawless one" and I believe that he will be in perfect agreement with your assessment.
See James 1:25.
If anyone looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, he will be blessed in his deed.
No need to change the meaning of "the perfect law of liberty". It is plainly referring to the law.
Two of the ten commandments are included in it (James 2:11-12).

The law is written on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5; 1 John 2:3-6).
The righteousness of the law is fulfilled in those who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Romans 8:4).
I would point these things out in order that the law may continue to be a means by which you might have the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20) in the case that you think that you are wholly justified without being sanctified.
The one who is carnally-minded cannot please God because his mind is not subject to the law of God (Romans 8:7).
Now, we cannot be regenerated and renewed by an attempt at keeping a set of do's and don'ts (Titus 3:4-7).
However, once you have been regenerated and renewed, it is a given that you will walk in goodness as a fruit of the Holy Spirit; against which there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23).
Which means, that as you walk according to the Spirit, there is no law that will condemn you in your behaviour; and therefore in walking according to the Spirit rather than the flesh, you will become a law-abiding citizen of the kingdom of heaven (see also Ezekiel 36:25-27).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
there’s no sin nor death in that only an invite to hear and believe the gospel d be saved
that’s sets us free from the law of sin anD death which held us captive
free of sin
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…….Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

Romans 8:1-2 KJV
The law of sin and death has to do with the fact that when I would do good, evil is present with me.
The law of the Spirit of life has to do with the fact that if I have the Spirit of God indwelling me, I will walk according to the Spirit; I will, by the Spirit, mortify the deeds of the body (Romans 8:13).
The law of the Spirit of life sets me free from the law of sin and death in that I become able to do what is good when I desire to do good because of the Spirit who dwells within me.

yeah it got there from the law that teaches man what sin is , and that it’s certain death
“For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”
Romans 7:5, 7 KJV
if we never had the law we still wouldn’t know sin that is what the law does gives knowledge of sin and then shows us sin is death
“Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
your right it’s that law in us what I’m saying is the law of Moses is how it got to be known and understood in us
it originates from transgression of Adam partaking of good and evil as was forbidden but the law is what defines sin and reveals its sentance of death that’s how mankind knows what sin is and it’s punishment
It didn’t just get there alone we were wicked but had no understanding ding that say adultery was sin until God gave the law of sin and death to Moses
It was necassary to make sin known so Christ could call us to repentance from it

NOPE - NEVER
Whoever works on the Sabbath Rest of God will be cut off.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you.
Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death;
for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.
Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’
You work(adding the law to Christ/Grace) on the Sabbath rest of God = you are not of faith in Christ Jesus.
For by Grace you have been saved, not of works lest any man should boast..............

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore by the works of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Whoever works on the Lord's Sabbath Rest shall be put to death = John 3:16-18
Everyone must choose = the Law or CHRIST = you cannot serve two masters.
Ephesians 2:10 are works that God prepared beforehand that we should walk in = ZERO law = ALL from CHRIST thru Grace n Faith
and all the world may become guilty before God.

The Pharisees mistake was in a bad interpretatin of law, I agree, but it was that they added to the law through their interpretation.
Christ told us that if we love God we will obey Him. Christ gave us ways to live for him and he spoke of how we live, not how we think.
We are protected by the Lord from this "pretenting". We are to give our will to God, to repent of our own will to sin and want to be obedient with faith in every word that comes from Christ. As we humble ourselves before Christ and bend to His will--that is being obedient with none of your pretense. Christ sums it up by saying "repent".
Your posts are not even pretending to obey law, they teach to ignore the law and rebel.

The law of liberty is not a law that exempts us from all law, that is not the liberty it speaks of. That would be like taking away what side of the road different countries give as law so it prevents head on accidents. Rebellion to God's laws of the spirit frees us, sin binds us. The law is simply a tool to be used.
