Jim, I think Paul recognized that the Mosaic law came
to an end or was rendered inoperative with Christ
(Rom.10:4). Thus I don't think Paul saw the Mosaic law
as binding on the Christian any longer. Paul saw
himself as not being under the law, "though I myself am
not under the law" (1 Cor.9:20), but that he was under
a new law, the "law of Christ" (1 Cor.9:21)which I take
to mean the new covenant law.
