The passage you quoted is to the ignorant and unstable people who explain scripture falsely and put the law before Jesus. If the cap fits, wear it.
2Pe 3:15-18
(15) Look on our Lord's patience as the opportunity he is giving you to be saved, just as our dear friend Paul wrote to you, using the wisdom that God gave him.
(16) This is what he says in all his letters when he writes on the subject. There are some difficult things in his letters which ignorant and unstable people explain falsely, as they do with other passages of the Scriptures. So they bring on their own destruction.
(17) But you, my friends, already know this. Be on your guard, then, so that you will not be led away by the errors of lawless people and fall from your safe position.
(18) But continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory, now and forever! Amen.

The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ. Yes, now how many knew and know the law well enough to have been brought to Him? Those who have studied and know the law!
When we come to Christ we know just how many hundreds of the law are no more because He has fulfilled the, but no living disciple has had the law completely fuflilled in him or her until God dfinishes the work He alone does in us, that work He began when we first called upon HIm for Salvation in Jesus Christ.
There are yet those laaws on behavior that cannot be fulfilled until all men, blievers, have been made perfect, and you will be perfect for our Maker is perfect.......this is not just a command, it is a promise.

Honestly, if you really believe this, then you will believe anything!
Nobody I know, including myself, knew the Torah when we came to Christ....
We knew we were sinners yes, but no knowledge of the Torah!
This ridiculous assertion that only those who know the Torah come to Jesus is just utter nonsense!
I have witnessed to people who had never even heard of Jesus Christ prior to me speaking, never mind what a Jew was, and definitely not what the Torah was!
Yet, they came to Christ because they knew that they were sinners - al apart from the Torah!
This knowledge of sinfulness came from the Genesis chapter 3 (something we all share - whether we have actually read it for ourselves or not) not Exodus to Deuteronomy...
Honestly, some of the things said on this forum would be really funny if they weren't so tragic...

but after faith come we are no longer under the tutor/law.
so we are not under 4th command anymore.
That is mean, when we not kill, or steal, not because we are under the 10 commandment but because we are under the faith.
in other word, faith in Jesus change us to be like Jesus.
Fruits tell what kind of trees. If the fruits is love, mean the tree is Jesus.

Yet Paul who trained under Gamaliel, could recite verbatim the entire Torah from memory alone, a requirement to study under Gamaliel...
Virtually Every Israylite knew it, in the day this was written anyone born in Israyl knew the Law... It is a Law to read the Law in the town square every 7 years and all citiziens are supposed to be there to hear it...
This is why:
Romans 3:1Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God.
oracles are LIVING WORDS.
now of course gentiles do not know it, or most didn't, samaritans had the same Torah but with 183 alterations for example, but most gentiles probably did not know it, if it was an advantage to know it, that means it is a disadvantage not to know it.
I grew up not knowing it and when I asked I was told it was for the Jews only, until I read the word for myself...

"iniquity" is: #0458 anomia {an-om-ee'-ah} from G0459
Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
1) the condition of without law 1a) because ignorant of it1b) because of violating it, 2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Mat 24:12, "And because iniquity will abound, the love of the many will grow cold."
1 Yahanan /John 2:3-7, “And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Yah has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked. Beloved, I write no fresh command to you, but an old command which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning.”

Honestly I believe Jesus Christ. No one here who claims to believe Him saying they love and they live in grace seems to hear what He teaches on the law, how He has freed us completely form its curse yet there remain some, those that are contained in Love, we must never stop using as our guide to perfection. No we do not perfect ourselves, but we must not resist God' perfecting us, and His word is theWay in Christ. Man does not live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God, amen.
Now be honest and understand the Word from God, that is Jesus.

Where did you learn from Jesus that any of the commandments are null and void? This is a teaching of men fast becoming a tradition of men. This teaching cannot be found in the Word, only some vague references to what you have poste.
Until heaven and earth pass away the law, according to the freedom afforded byour Lord, will be. Anyone teaching against the least of these laws will be least in the Kingdom, and that is eternal.
I hatge to even entertain what it will be for those who teach against all of them.

No one here is saying obedience is being under the law. No one, because he obeys Jesus Christ is under the law, yet we all need Him as our Mediator ..........as Paul teaches.
Do you have Him as a Mediator? Do you know what this means.? Does sin not exist for believers?
It is the curse of the law, death, from which we all have been freed, so in that aspect we are free indeed.......do not use this as license to sin.
Reread Ephesians...........

so you not agree with apostle Paul that say after faith we are no longer under the law?
before heaven and earth pass the law not pass, is that mean after faith we are under the law?
Where did you learn from that before heaven pass the law never pass, mean after faith we stillunder the law.
the law not pass for people that did not have faith in Jesus. Not pass but not apply for the people that have faith in Jesus

Either you did not read my post or you are just not able to understand it.....this is quite frequent with thhose who push disobedience as a way being "free." I live in the grace of God, and His mercy is always upon me because of His Lamb, Jesus Christ, MY Savior.......now do not continue with our oblique and feigned understanding.....it is quite transparant. I always understand you folks, and believe me what I understand fro you is not what the Light shows me in Jesus Christ.
You have said it. "The old law." I have also said it. Learn the way Jesus has clarified the law. Do not worry, there are not that many of them remaining.......He has fulfilled the majority making them no longer valid, however He is yet fulfilling the law in all who know Him. Do not say you do not sin. You may say God does not hold the guilt of your sin against you providing you know this......
