I never said that. But what I did say was that the Law pointed/directed Jews to identify their Messiah and King because the Law prophesied and presented MOST about the Anointed One so that Jews could identify Him when He appeared.Nothing flawed about it.
Give a passage that teaches one can be saved by keeping or binding the law of Moses on new testament Christians?
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Galatians 3:22–25.
Before "Faith" came, meaning the Holy Spirit of Promise PROMISED TO ISRAEL by Joel (Joel 2:27-32) for the Holy Spirit is Faith Personified. Given this along with the words of Jesus in Galatians 2:16 identifies that Jews are saved by the Faith of Jesus Christ who obeyed and trusted in the Father without fail in all things, even going to His death on the cross. The Law was not given to Gentiles. It was given to the children of Israel in the desert with Moses serving as mediator of that covenant.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Exodus 19:5–6.
These words of covenant were spoken by Moses TO the children of Israel - NOT TO GENTILES.
Some aspects of the Law of Moses were written or carved on stone so the Jews would be able to obey the LORD outwardly. But when Faith appeared who is the Holy Spirit, who is also the total Law of Moses and THAT Law which God told Jeremiah He would put in their inward parts, He did this through the Finished Word of His Son, Jesus Christ, and NOW and since the first century God saves a Jews who is directed by the Law of Moses to IDENTIFY His or her Messiah, Lord, and King by the various implements of the Tabernacle. THIS was the purpose of the Law. It was to guide and direct and identify for the Jew the identity and Person of Christ so that when He did appear they could recognize Him in order to be saved BY Him.
