For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at5 work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. But now, by dying to what once bound us we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said "Do not Covet" But sin, seizing the oppurtunity afforded by the commandment produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law sin is dead.
Once I was aloive apart from law, but when the commandment came sin sprang to life and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death imnstead.
For sin, seizing the oppurtunity afforded by the commandment deceived me and through the Commandment put me to death. Rom7:5-11
How can you say Paul was not talking of the Ten Commandments when he discussed the law, coveting is one of them.
Also Paul and Barnabas went to Jerusalem to discuss with the leaders of the church which Jewish laws the Gentile converts should be asked to keep. The decision was to abstain from foodpolluted by idols, sexual immorality, from meat5 of strangled animals and blood. Three of which were to appease Jewish legalists, that left sexual immorality. Can you tell me how these Church leaders which included Jesus disciples and heard alkl of his teachings could have been so wrong?
But you miss the whole point here, it is by dying to the law Paul said that he could live for Christ. Many times he said we are not under law, and because of that sin is not our master.
Do we then nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather we uphold the law. Rom3:31

Rom 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
notice how Paul said that Sin decieved him,Not the 10 comandments,then he died......
And further more Jesus Nor any of his disciples Never once said that any one of the 10 comandments of God were disanulled by the cross,but rather the old Blood ordinances and circumcision laws were fulfilled by the Cross and resurection of Jesus the messiah,the 10 still stand but made more perfect by Jesus sacrifice,as a matter of fact Jesus made them even more important to keep,and John a Disciple of Jesus,ellaborated on this same section .....
Mat 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
1Jn 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
1Jn 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1Jn 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
Now how can You say that these arent concerning the 10 comandments?
So If i listened to your theology I'd be decieved into thinking that I dont need to love my brother nor God inorder to get to heaven ,all i have to do is believe in Jesus,when in fact that the very act of believing in Jesus and His teaching is to abide in the Love of God that is Loving God with all your soul,mind,and body,and Loving your brother as yourself,these very verses say that same thing.
And call your theology out to be a lie in this verse right here...........
Mat 5:19 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.
So if I was you I'd research what I was teaching,And make sure I wasnt teaching to break the least of the 10.
How can you say that Paul was teaching against these very comandments when Jesus sais to the contrary.
I'm not saying to keep the blood ordinances,nor am i saying even to keep the food laws,just the 10 origional ,just as Jesus sais to do and teach.Jesus was made our sabbath,so to remember the sabath and keep it holy is to remember the sacrifice the He made for us ,and Keep His love in our hearts we have kept the sabbath,so B4 you go into the whole sabbath laws you need to read what sabath is, and it is rest, and Jesus is our rest.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Now try to stay up with me as I know you have a problem sticking with the subject and article of a chapter or chapters,Here were talking about rest or sabbath,this will tie it together....Heb.3:1-5:13
All these are pretaining to Jesus being our sabbath or rest and the High priest of our salvation entering into the temple on our behalves for remission of sins,ON THE SABBATH!!!!!!!!!
Mat 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Mar 2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Luk 6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath
So in summery,To keep the 10 comandments is to Love the Lord they God with all your heart,mind and body,And Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
1-5 love God
6-10 Love your neighbor........
Whats so hard about that?
The Flesh,Thats what makes it hard,And thats what Paul is addressing in those verses you posted.Not disanulling the 10 comandments,
Pauls Own words About the 10 comandments
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
The Law of sin is Not the 10 comandments but the blood ordinances,food laws ,etc,the law of God are the 10 comandments.
You need to learn the difference.
