I unignored this person to make a point
Here he proves my point.
The only law written on stone is the ten commandments The rest of the law was written on parchment or whatever scrolls they used to write on back them.
Hence in his own words. He to states the standard is the law written in stone (the ten commands) which is so far below the standard we can not even begin to comprehend the magnitude of how sinful we are if we just use this as a guide.
The problem is he does not, nor does it appear he wants to, understand what true sin is. His go to verse is by the law is the knowledge of sin. But it is not comprehensive. I tried to explain it to him, But he did not want to hear.
Maybe @Charlie24 would like to discuss this. I know when I figured out this basic truth a few decades ago it changed my life. I stopped trying to follow commands. which I could never live up to Gods standard. And started loving others and serving them. My sin life shrunk, and I started to become more like Christ. Not because I was special or had any great power. But I understand the true means to sanctification. Take the love from God, and give it to others.
It is more blessed to give than to receive. this also became more real to me as I learned to stop focusing on how good I am by the law. and started to focus on giving and serving.
Rmans 7 is pauls struggle with the law. He wanted to do good because the law said he should , but he found he could not do this, So the law which was given to help him he found cursed him.. So he turned and learned to serve Christ. And stop being a pharisee (focus on obedience to the law)
He also found himself to be the chief of sinners. Even though he admitted himself. according to the law he was righteous (in the eyes of the religious jew)

if we love one another we will fulfill the law...we will sin less and less.
That is basically all that I have been saying.
I have been emphasizing the fact that by the law is the knowledge of sin in practically every post.
By the law, I do not mean only the ten commandments, or even the 613.
I mean every moral tenet that is spoken of in holy scripture.
You yourself have admitted that there is no sin that isn't mentioned in holy scripture.
How, then, dos it take more than the law (what is spoken of in holy scripture concerning what is sin) to define for us what is sin?
