Sophistry...
GOD's good pleasure is for us to rest in the new life he has given us. That is righteousness.
And by resting in the new life will we keep or break the law of God? Here are some texts to consider
Romans 7:14 KJV
(14) For we know that
the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 8:6 KJV
(6) For to be carnally minded is death; but
to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
If you are looking at the law as 'Thou shalt not' then you are looking at the letter of the law. To look at the law as we should we need to see the spirit of the law.
The Law says
Exodus 20:4-5 KJV
(4)
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
(5)
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Then there is a text which says this
Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV
(5) And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
If we love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind then we will fulfill this commandment. So it is not just about 'Thou shalt not' but loving God so we keep His law
