On Paul's scheme, the law is not incompetent for
the purpose which God gave it. There is thus no problem. "Convoluted
scheme"? What constitutes a "convoluted scheme?
As I understand him, Paul is saying that Torah is a
system of accounting, because God being holy cannot simply pass by sin.
Nonetheless, Torah was never intended to be the foundation of life; it always
pointed forward to the One in whom the accounting would be fulfilled. Thus
to speak of "contravention" is not really accurate, in Paul's terms.
Christ is Torah's goal, Rom 10.4 (teloV).
It was never presented as a schema that pointed
towards itself, but as a regulatory covenant between the ages. (Hence
Paul's assessment in Rom 9.30ff that Israel sought *the law* in the wrong
way.)
Complex? Every decent story is.
Convoluted? Well, I guess that's your judgment, but I personally see no
need to make it.
