It's not really difficult to quote verses. You know you don't obey Moses. I doubt that anyone here does.
First, the law of Moses, and then, the law of Galatians 5:16-24 (see also Hebrews 7:12).

…13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.…

His problem is he thinks AFTER we come to faith. We need to keep following the law. It is the means of sanctification. After one is led to justification.
Its still legalism. It still waters down the law. And still does not see the true perfect standard of God
No one can (Galatians 6:13).
the law was given and is preached to drive men to the Cross. As soon as they understand they can't keep the law, the only method of salvation is clear; that they place their faith in Christ.

Yes, the law sanctifies in that the Holy Spirit utilizes it to pinpoint sin in our lives (Romans 3:20) so that we can confess it and be forgiven and cleansed from all unrighteousness (sanctification)...1 John 1:7-9.
We have the New Covenant. I'll stick with it! Do you know what "obsolete" means?
Hebrews 8:13 (NKJV)
13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete.
Correct. for no one can keep the law of Moses. We preach it so that men will be driven to the Cross of Christ as soon as they see that they cannot keep the law.
The law is written on the hearts and minds of believers under the New Covenant (see the context of your verse in Hebrews 8:8-10)
But then again, Paul said this in Rom. 3:31,
"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."
The reason Paul said this is the reason JBF is not being understood!

JBF is being understood quite well.
Why you continue to defend him is not understood, unless you believe like him. Which means you are in trouble
We establish the law through faith why? The law leads to christ, when we come to christ, as the law leads us to him we establish it
When we try to find justification or sanctification by the law. We are not establishing the law. We misinterpret the law and are in serious trouble
What did Paul mean by we don't make void the Law, we establish it, e-g?
