I am not disagreeing with you, but as I understand it God was always the source even for the law Moses gave us.
The law is the marriage proposal for God and His bride. David teach us that the law is perfect but also that the law is written on his heart. He teach us that we have to love the law, take delight in it and not forget it. How can we read that and say Jesus destroyed it? Friend it is our interpretation and understanding of God's law that has changed.
The law was always written on our hearts but thank God he gave it to Moses to write it down because imagine the deception without the Bible being available to all
.

I hope our potential mates do not come and give us laws. And tell us we have to confirm every word on the contract and obey every word or the marriage is off.
Why do you keep labeling those who believe in obeying God as followers of the law? That is just plain in error.
AS far as Purim is concerned, it commemorates the heroism of Esther who saved the Hebrews ergo saving the records of prophesy of Jesus Christ to come in the prophets and in the law.
I always remember Esther and revere her just as I do Mary, neither of who are to be worshipped however what they have done is magnificent.
My heart, filled with the HOly Spirit bears witness to her, also known in her Hbrew name as Hagadaj-
Haman!

True,
The curse was nailed to the cross.
And so now we are given Blessings in Abundance.
So as the Living waters flow out of the Heart, our Souls are being nourished to provide for the Fruits that will sustain us through the seasons. As believers in the Faithful Redeemer to come in His fullness upon the Whole world is a Promise coursing through the veins of the Body of the Holy One Yeshua(jesus) the body of Christ.
Bread and Water
enmity occasioned by the Torah
Do you know what ordinance this is?
Ephesians 2Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
2 You used to be dead because of your sins and acts of disobedience. 2 You walked in the ways of the ‘olam hazeh and obeyed the Ruler of the Powers of the Air, who is still at work among the disobedient. 3 Indeed, we all once lived this way — we followed the passions of our old nature and obeyed the wishes of our old nature and our own thoughts. In our natural condition we were headed for God’s wrath, just like everyone else.
4 But God is so rich in mercy and loves us with such intense love 5 that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered. 6 That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, 7 in order to exhibit in the ages to come how infinitely rich is his grace, how great is his kindness toward us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua. 8 For you have been delivered by grace through trusting, and even this is not your accomplishment but God’s gift. 9 You were not delivered by your own actions; therefore no one should boast. 10 For we are of God’s making, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do.
11 Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth — called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcised — 12 at that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Isra’el. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God’s promise. You were in this world without hope and without God.
13 But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood. 14 For he himself is our shalom — he has made us both one and has broken down the m’chitzah which divided us 15 by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah, with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom, 16 and in order to reconcile to God both in a single body by being executed on a stake as a criminal and thus in himself killing that enmity.
17 Also, when he came, he announced as Good News shalom to you far off and shalom to those nearby,[a] 18 news that through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
19 So then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers. On the contrary, you are fellow-citizens with God’s people and members of God’s family. 20 You have been built on the foundation of the emissaries and the prophets, with the cornerstone being Yeshua the Messiah himself. 21 In union with him the whole building is held together, and it is growing into a holy temple in union with the Lord. 22 Yes, in union with him, you yourselves are being built together into a spiritual dwelling-place for God!

A Foundation Governed by the Word of His Power
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
Not sure what is meant by "followers of the law". Lay up your Treasures in Heaven
The Torah is best understood in context as instruction. As in a schoolmaster brings us to the Holy One of Israel(Christ)
As for me, i call no man master. My Master is One and He is with me Always till the unfolding of all Promises.
Love Your Neighbors
As for purim. Why concern such a thought like you have toward your neighbors. If they want to commemorate something in respect to Women.
After all, I believe My Lord said it best when
[FONT="]For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will not forgive yours.[/FONT]
[FONT="]16 “Now when you fast, don’t go around looking miserable, like the hypocrites. They make sour faces so that people will know they are fasting. Yes! I tell you, they have their reward already! 17 But you, when you fast, wash your face and groom yourself, 18 so that no one will know you are fasting — except your Father, who is with you in secret. Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.[/FONT]

The handwritten requirement was a covenant, or an agreement, Failure to fulfill your side of the agreement (in this case, to confirm and obey EVERY WORD) would bring about the punishment for not living up to your end of the agreement,
according to scripture. Failure to live up to your end would be one sin, no matter how small that sin may be, the penalty was to be cursed. Jesus took that curse for us, by hanging on the cross.
A marriage proposal does not have requirements, it has pledges. One pledge (according to God) is that you are married forever no matter what (He did not support divorce, however, since men was going to do it anyway, He gave them permission but only in certain cases, and non allowed anyone to be married to another. That would be sin.

Hebrews 13Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
13 Let brotherly friendship continue; 2 but don’t forget to be friendly to outsiders; for in so doing, some people, without knowing it, have entertained angels. 3 Remember those in prison and being mistreated, as if you were in prison with them and undergoing their torture yourselves.
4 Marriage is honorable in every respect; and, in particular, marriage is pure. But God will indeed punish fornicators and adulterers.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money; and be satisfied with what you have; for God himself has said, “I will never fail you or abandon you.”[a]6 Therefore, we say with confidence,
“Adonai is my helper; I will not be afraid —
what can a human being do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke God’s message to you. Reflect on the results of their way of life, and imitate their trust — 8 Yeshua the Messiah is the same yesterday, today and forever.
9 Do not be carried away by various strange teachings; for what is good is for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods. People who have made these the focus of their lives have not benefited thereby.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve in the Tent are not permitted to eat. 11 For the cohen hagadol brings the blood of animals into the Holiest Place as a sin offering, but their bodies are burned outside the camp.[c]12 So too Yeshua suffered death outside the gate, in order to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Therefore, let us go out to him who is outside the camp and share his disgrace. 14 For we have no permanent city here; on the contrary, we seek the one to come. 15 Through him, therefore, let us offer God a sacrifice of praisecontinually.[d] For this is the natural product of lips that acknowledge his name.
16 But don’t forget doing good and sharing with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Due Discretion
Therefore my judgment is that we trouble not those from among the Gentiles who are turned to God,
20 but that we write unto them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses from olden times hath in every city those who preach him, he being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.”
