Your post and your choice of the words "dissect good works from the law" shows your lack of understanding of the difference between good works produced by the Spirit of Christ (the fruit of the Spirit), and good works produced through obedience to the letter of the law contained in the written law and commandments (which is that Paul referred to as "the letter of the law"), which is the shadow of the fruit of the Spirit.
The fruit of the Spirit is not lawlessness. Obedience to the law is lawlessness.
Bear in mind before you even read the rest that you don't even have a temple to offer sacrifices for your lack of obedience to the commandments you claim should be upheld - commandments which are part of Mosaic law which does not impart life because the failure to obey brings only death to the one who tries to live by obedience to IT, instead of obedience through faith in Christ producing the fruit of the Spirit that fulfills the law.
Like all who follow the same doctrine expressed in your post, you don't even realize that Christ's blood and living by the Spirit is not nullified by your doctrine, which despite any protest among its adherents teaches nothing more or less than "God requires of believers that they have faith in Christ + obedience to Mosaic law".
Your post equates the shadow of [Christ and the fruit of His Spirit], with Christ and the fruit of His Spirit.
The shadow is not equal to the God who gave the shadow to be a tutor to bring those who followed it, to Christ.
The Mosaic law is the letter that kills. The Spirit gives life. The law written on the heart (Jer.31:31-33) is the fruit of the Spirit, which is not lawless, but fulfills the law.
Your post betrays the fact that like so many others who teach the same doctrine you are expressing in your post, you do not understand (and as a result you are holding onto the Old Covenant, which brings death to all who hold onto it, because it's based on obedience to written laws and the blood of animals continually required to be sacrificed for sin),
and you believe the Old Covenant is still in operation alongside the New Covenant, which is based on faith in Christ and the blood of Christ shed once-for-all for sin, which produces the fruit of the Spirit that fulfills the written laws (the letter of the law), and imparts eternal life.
Your post shows that you do not understand in any way what it means for the law to have been a shadow, or what it means for the law to be written on the heart instead of on tablets of stone and in scrolls, nor do you understand the difference between man's futile attempts to live either by, or in obedience to the written law and the commandments - the letter of the law that kills - on one hand, and living by the Spirit through faith in Christ which leads to His Spirit producing the fruit of the Spirit in the one who lives by the Spirit (instead of by its shadow), on the other hand.
The apostle Paul especially, wrote lengthy passages in numerous letters trying to explain it. Unfortunately as his letter to the Galatians shows, even then there were those whose understanding was not capable of accepting it. They wanted Christ + obedience to the letter of the law.
The word "forever" that you see in the Old Testament law is always translated from the Hebrew word ‛ôlâm: the beginning or the end of the period is not known.
Looking back in time when the beginning of the period is not known:
"And David and his men went up and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites. For they were the inhabitants of the land from of old (‛ôlâm), as you come into Shur, even into the land of Egypt." (1 Samuel 27:8);
"And Joshua said to all the people, So says the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers lived of old (‛ôlâm) beyond the River, Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor, and they served other gods." (Joshua 24:2);
"Remember the days of old (‛ôlâm); consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you." (Deuteronomy 32:7).
Looking into the future when the end of the period is not known:
"If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
And if he says to you, I will not go away from you, because he loves you and your house, because it has been good for him with you;
then you shall take an awl and put it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever (ôlâm). And also to your slave-girl you shall do so." (Deuteronomy 14:12, 16 & 17);
"And the LORD said to him, I have heard your prayer and your cry which you have made before Me. I have made this house which you have built holy, to put My name there forever (ôlâm). And My eyes and My heart shall be there all the days." (1 Kings 9:3);
"And you shall command the sons of Israel that they bring you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continuously in the tabernacle of the congregation, outside the veil which is before the testimony. Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD. It shall be a statute forever (ôlâm) to their generations on behalf of the sons of Israel." (Exodus 27:20-21).
‛ôlâm is closely related to the Greek word aeon (an Age of time), and because it denotes either a seemingly endless period of time (or an Age, the end of which was not known when the words were written), or a literally endless period of time, there are places in the Old Testament where ‛ôlâm does NOT mean "forever and ever", for example, taking us backwards in time from a certain point in time as in the verses quoted above.
‛ôlâm can also mean "forever and ever" (in perpetuity), for example in verses such as Proverbs 8:22-23; Genesis 21:33; Deuteronomy 32:40.
"Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for an everlasting (‛ôlâm) covenant.
It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever (‛ôlâm). For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.
And He gave to Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God." (Exodus 31:16-18).
"The tablets of stone" in the above verse are what is known as the Law. As reflected in the word ‛ôlâm, the end of the period spoken of in Exodus 3:16 was not known when the commandment was given.
Jesus is our sabbath. THE LAW CHANGED
"For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made in the law also." (Hebrews 7:12).
"Why then the Law? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come to those to whom it had been promised, being ordained through angels in the Mediator's hand." (Galatians 3:19).
You will never do even one good work produced by the Spirit - the fruit of the Spirit which fulfills the law - through obedience to the letter of the law contained in ordinances and the ten commandments, which is the shadow of the fruit of the Spirit of Christ.
I won't debate it further with you if you continue to argue in favor of the doctrine you follow and expressed in your post. It has been debated ad nauseam in these forums already, and this thread is about its OP. Not the subject you brought up.
