Hmmm. I have heard from people that we are not under the old law any longer, but we are now under the law of Christ. Does anyone have a verse for this that states it in this way explicitly?

On the other hand, didn't Paul write that we are no longer under law, but under grace? For some reason, there are people that cannot accept that as it says, always have to add to it, modify it, explain it, etc. etc. etc. What they then give us is that we are under the "law of Christ." But isn't this a law of grace?

According to the passages you have cited here, doesn't it say clearly at the beginning of Rom8 that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus?

We are not under law any longer, because it was a curse for us. Jesus took away the curse.

Non Christian neighbor? They are lost without Christ are they not, since he is the source of all forgiveness?
