For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh Gal 6
again...
therefore keeping some parts of the law to the jew only - is to BOAST IN THE FLESH. - factual reality.
''works'' of a jew is boasting.
the flesh is the devilish controlled carnal mindset called death.
--------------------
paul was a ''wretched man'' prior to his release from the law of sin and death of the jews...
here is his words paraphrased of his plight when he was a ''law man'' sold into sin.
Romans 7:14 (paraphrased) When I was lost, I knew the law was from God, but I did many sinful acts anyway.
I could not understand why I was doing them.
For what I knew the law said to do, that I did not do, and what I knew the law said not to do, that I did.
I knew what the law said not to do, and I should not have done them. I agree with the law that it is good,
but now that I am saved, I know it was not my mind that wanted to do evil, it was the evil spirit of Satan within me.
I know that my body and soul, could not by themselves, become righteous. My body and soul wanted to do good, but I could not find how to do it.
The good that I wanted to do, I could not do, and the evil that I knew I should not do, that is what I practiced.
Now if I did what I knew I should not do, it was no longer I that did it, but the evil spirit of Satan that indwelt me.
I find now that the law was revealing the evil that was present in me, the one who desired to do good
For I delighted in the law of God according to my inward man,
but I now see that another law was in my body warring against the law of God in my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law that was in my body.
Oh, what a wretched predicament I was in.
Who could deliver me from that body of death?
I thank God who sent Jesus Christ our Lord who came to save me. Before in my mind I tried to serve the law of God, but with my flesh I served the law of sin. The law could not make me righteous because of the indwelling spirit of Satan, but Jesus has made me righteous by crucifying the spirit of Satan and giving me the indwelling Holy Spirit.
I could not understand why I was doing them.
For what I knew the law said to do, that I did not do, and what I knew the law said not to do, that I did.
I knew what the law said not to do, and I should not have done them. I agree with the law that it is good,
but now that I am saved, I know it was not my mind that wanted to do evil, it was the evil spirit of Satan within me.

if you go and obey any part of the law to the jew only - you remain in the flesh that satan controls and cannot become the righteous by His Spirit. this is why none can walk in the law and in the spirit at the same time.
so the solution for the sinfilled flesh that satan controls thru the law of sin and death is defeated....
Romans 8:1
[There] [is] therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God [did] by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those [who] [live] according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit
For to be carnally minded [is] death, but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
And if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

the testimony of the NT is saying - dont go back under the law to the jews - it is the law for the flesh and satan controls all flesh - one needs to receive THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT and this holy being indwelling in a believer stops the sinning ways of the flesh man.
the law to the jew only must go
life in the Spirit must enter in,
