Why rip that text out of the context it was written?
Start in 9:30 to let say verse 8 in chapter 10.
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ (word) down from above
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ (word) again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word (Christ) is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
(Rom 9:30-10:8 KJV)
!0:6-8 is a paraphrase of the words spoken in prophecy to Israel and now again to Israel and throughout the whole world.
And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
(Deu 30:6 KJV)
If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
(Deu 30:10-14 KJV)
The Word, God's commandments and statutes in the the heart and mouth through Christ is the Faith in which we preach Paul said. Israel did not have this faith. The majority refused it and were only trying to follow the letter of the law and not allowing it in the heart.
For Christ (the word, the law in the heart, mind and mouth) is the end of the law (written on tebles of stone and parchment) for righteousness to every one that believeth.

It is really sad when we see these types of discussion. The law was given for a purpose.
I think of the example of the speed limit sign. It says that the speed limit is 55 MPH,
Sadly some people think it is more of a guideline on how to do right, than a Law which says your guilty if you do not obey it. So these people have no problem doing 60 MPH, yet they will yell and scream at people doing 80 MPH in the same zone, Not realizing, According to the law. Anyone who does 55.1 MPH and above is ALL guilty of the same crime, and the purpose of the law is to allow the authorities to impose a penalty onall of you who do not obey it.
So sadly what we have is people who were caught doing around 60 yelling and screaming about how they are unfairly charged, they should worry about the people doing 80, and refusing to be trained by the law that they are JUST AS GUILTY
We see the same with spiritual lawyers. The law as given by moses had this caveat attached to it.
“Whoever does not confirm and obey every word written shall be under a curse” (the penalty of breaking the law) for those curious as to where this is it can be found in deut 27:16, and quoted by Paul in gal 3.
Yet in the same token as the speed limit, we see people think the law is more of a guideline than a law which says anyone who does not obey every word is guilty. So what do they do? They go around judging people who have these grave sins, while excusing their own what they seem as petty sins, even to the point of not even acknowledging that they are sinning. All the while ignoring the warning James gave us all. That if we keep every aspect of the law. Yet fall in one point, we are guilty of all (cursed is the one who does not obey EVERY....)
The law is there for one reason
The civil law is there to allow the civil government the ability to charge and punish you with a crime, and leave you with no excuse, you have to pay the penalty of that crime,
The law of moses is there to allow God to charge and punish you with crimes against him and leave you with no excuse. But the real purpose is to lead you to christ. Where you (guilty as charged) can be freed from that penalty and restored to a right relationship with him!

Jesus reveals the criteria for “GREATNESS” in the Kingdom of Heaven, as well as who will be “The Least” in that same Kingdom:
(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.
Jesus reveals exactly “HOW” to love Him and have “FELLOWSHIP” with Him and The Father;
Joh 14:21 KJV He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Jesus reveals, through prophesy, that “MANY” who think they are doing His will will be REMOVED FROM HIS PRESENCE!...Why? for being WITHOUT THE LAW! He clarifies, according to the verse above, “I NEVER KNEW YOU:...” :
Mat 7:22-23 KJV Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus reveals through revelation to the apostle John, even after many of Pauls epistles were written, from which many derive a “No Law” position, that they, the saints, are those that “KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD” and “”THE FAITH OF JESUS”!
Rev 14:12-13 KJV Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (13) And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
And for those who criticize “good works” Note; they are important.
Paul does not contradict any of this, and for those who think he does, How can that be?
(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.

Why is it important to understand that Christ is the end of the law for Righteousness to everyone who believes?
Certain judaizers and legalists believe that it is their work at the law that makes them believers. But I have shown that the opposite is the case. Their work at the law shows they do not believe.

It is what they prove in their words and their deeds.
It is what you prove in your words and your deeds.
If a person says they believe but then make a mockery of that belief with their words, their "teaching" and their deeds do you think they really believe? No, of course not. They believe in something else. Not sure what. But its definitely different.

The Lord wasn't changing anything about the law. He didn't say it used to be against the law to commit adultery but now just thinking about it is.
He said you were taught this way but I teach you this way. The law was not given its distinguished place as a spiritual law but the Lord gave it its place.
Their is prophecy for this too. I think its in Isaiah, can't remember exactly where off the top of my head.
The point is it was the same 10 commandments written on stone that the Lord Jesus was teaching.
Sin isn't only transgression of the law. Sin includes transgression of the law. Sin is also whatever is not of faith. Because it takes faith in Christ to abide in Him in order to walk in righteousness.
If you are not walking in righteousness then you are transgressing the law. But the law has no power to give you righteousness.
The law is useless for those who have come to Christ and know Righteousness. Why? Because we already know where our righteousness is and its not from our performance or work at the law.

I'm looking forward to an honest answer. You know you aren't going to get one, right? The vail is over the mind of the ones who read and try to follow Moses.
This shows that the poster thinks there is never a time when someone isn't under the law, otherwise he thinks Jesus will say I never knew you. Unfortunately, everyone who works at the law is WITHOUT THE LAW. Only those who have been given rest and abide in Christ have this fortunate side effect of keeping Gods Laws and Statutes.

Nicely worded!
The same can be asked about "what" inspired the "godly sorrow" that leads to repentance. Was that a prescriptive prompting?
That said, would you agree that all promptings and all that The Holy Spirit puts within us, within our hearts, are prescriptive, or would you say that the law written on our hearts and the motivation/will to do them is directed from outside our will?
