Not even close. The fact that you can't understand that is mind-boggling.
And again. We know that "EXPERIENCE" is not dependable. Ask any detective, they'll tell you eye witness is the worst kind of proof. What you experienced is subjective, and suspect.

Just about everything from what I can see. Did you know that the law is for the salvation of the soul? obviously not as you said it has nothing to do with salvation.
You are mistaken.
What you need to ask is, how does the law have the power to convert the soul (Psalms 19:7)?
It does so by showing us that we are sinners in need of a Saviour (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20).
It leads us to Christ so that we can be saved through Him (and what He did for us on the Cross).
But that the law does not have the power to impart life should be evident to you as soon as you read Galatians 3:21.

LOL you said the law has nothing to do with salvation, now you are changing your mind, saying I am wrong and then proceed to show I was right all along.

Why do you believe any of the apostles wrote any letters at all if we are to just follow Jesus in our hearts?

My point is that if salvation is the impartation of life, then the law has nothing to do with it (Galatians 3:21).
But of course the law has the power to convert the soul (not save it); in that it shows a man that he is a sinner in need of a Saviour (Galatians 3:24, Romans 3:20); so that he may come to Christ and be saved through faith in Christ.
The point being that the impartation of life is through faith in Christ and not through keeping the law (see Galatians 2:16).

close, but again that is not what you originally said. If the law leads to Christ then it does indeed have its part, and keeping the law is life, however only those who walk in the spirit can keep/fulfill the law, the natural man or those who walk after the flesh cannot.
It is all about the old man nature and the new man nature, but as you seem to know nothing of these natures I do not expect you to understand the above.
