There can be convincing in many words; whether or not is truth.
David's throne was given to Christ at his baptism by John.
David's throne was handed to a man who actually could live, and who actually could pass it on to living seed.
You just have not thought it all of the way through.
And as for what you said about the law; think about the post you referred to again.
You are either dead to that law or it is a lie that you are in Christ and he dominates in your life.. If you are under law as in that Old law, it has dominion over you. If you are in Christ then he alone should have dominion over you. You do not look back to that law in a way to do by the carnal mind a rote obedience to it. Because your carnal interpretation of how it is supposed to be applied will lead you into conflict with how the holy spirit correctly says it should be applied.
Don't resist the obvious just because you previously failed to notice it.
How can I communicate with you if you haven't first studied the Old Testament Books as thoroughly as the New Testament Books? I might as well be speaking in the air.
God's promise to David was that his throne, an earthly throne, would exist to all generations until... Christ comes to inherit it. It is indeed... Christ's inheritance, but our Lord Jesus is not sitting upon it just yet, for it is still on this earth. The Gen.49:10 Scripture is one of several prophecies that confirms that. So I'm not making this up.
It's men's traditions that believe David's throne is no more on this earth, but in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ. They believe it actually ended on earth with Zedekiah, king of Judah, when the king of Babylon took him and his son heirs captive to Babylon where they all died (per Book of Jeremiah). It ended in Jerusalem, but not on earth. And because the traditions of men haven't known where it is, they assumed it is in Heaven with Christ. And of course, that false idea is to help them preach a fake 'rapture' to Heaven, one that is not written in God's Word.
God gave a riddle to the house of Israel about that throne on earth, which is another prophecy involving God's promise to David that it would exist to all generations until Christ comes. I'm not going to go into that in Ezekiel, nor reveal to you where it's written there. Do your own homework.
As for God's laws, what Christ did not nail to His cross is still in effect today. No where did Apostle Paul preach that all of God's laws were ended, but instead the condition that those in Christ who walk by The Spirit are thus dead to the law. Paul preached in 1 Timothy 1, 1 Cor.6, and Gal.5 the consequences of the unrighteous in regard to those laws.
Nowhere in the following does Paul say the law is dead, but that we are dead to the law, if we be in Christ Jesus...
Rom 7:4-12
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to Him Who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
(KJV)
Apostle John defined sin in 1 John 3:4 as the "transgression of the law". That is a New Testament Doctrine, not an Old Testament doctrine.
I Jn 3:4
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
(KJV)
No one can be saved by God's law. We are saved only by God's grace through the blood of Jesus Christ.
When The Gospel went to the nations in Asia Minor and Europe after Christ's crucifixion, forming the western Christian nations, those Christian founders adopted many of God's laws directly from God's Word to govern their nations and peoples. And that included the American colonies also. This is why the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. has wood carvings of Moses holding the tablets of The Commandments.
It is liberal Leftism that has been busy destroying this truth about early Christianity among the western Christian nations. By design, their intent is to remove God's laws from among His people and instead institute men's secular laws in their place in order to destroy God's people.
