What does Les mean when he talks about 'the Law' in Galatians 5?
In this teaching, 'the Law' means more than the Ten Commandments and Temple worship; it includes any legalism—anything a person resolves to do and then performs. The Law has been satisfied, crucified, and put to death, so church joining, baptism, or works religion cannot accomplish the same end.
Les teaches that when he speaks of the Law, he is not just referring to the Ten Commandments and Temple Worship. He means anything a person can attach to as legalism—anything you make up your mind to do and then go do. He says the Law has been satisfied, crucified, and put to death. To illustrate, he mentions a boy who thought joining the Church would please his mother, and adults who decide to quit wild oats, settle down, join a Church, or get baptized. Those are works religion and legalism; they cannot accomplish the same end, any more than sacrifices in an imaginary temple.
