Do you not believe that there is a distinction between the Father, the Son, and the Ruach Ha'Kodesh?

I believe that YHWH is our teacher; and Yahshua is our tutor.

1. of public decrees (as τῆς πόλεως, Plato, legg. 1, p. 644 d.; of the Roman Senate (Polybius 6, 13, 2); Herodian, 7, 10, 8 (5, Bekker edition)): of rulers, Luke 2:1; Acts 17:7; Hebrews 11:23 Lachmann (Theod. in Daniel 2:13; Daniel 3:10; Daniel 4:3; Daniel 6:13, etc. — where the Sept. uses other words).
2. of the rules and requirements of the law of Moses, 3Macc. 1:3; διατήρησις τῶν ἁγίων δογμάτων, Philo, alleg. legg. i., § 16; carrying a suggestion of severity, and of threatened punishment, τόν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δογμασι, the law containing precepts in the form of decrees (A. V. the law of commandments contained in ordinances), Ephesians 2:15; τό καθ' ἡμῶν χειρόγραφον τοῖς δογμασι equivalent to τό τοῖς δογμασι (dative of instrument) by ὄν καθ' ἡμῶν, the bond against us by its decrees, Colossians 2:14; cf. Winers Grammar, § 31, 10 Note 1 (Buttmann, 92 (80); on both passages see Lightfoot on Colossians, the passage cited).

(On the use of the word in general, see Lightfoot as above; (cf. 'Teaching' etc. 11, 3 [ET]).)

Now why would Paul use the word δόγμα in this verse?
I believe that he meant what he said, and said what he meant.
Anytime Paul is referring to THE LAW of Yahweh he used the phrase ho nomos which is
“The Law” in Greek.
So if THE LAW wasn't nailed to the (stake) pale; what was?
DECREE - Definition from the KJV Dictionary
DECREE, n. L. To judge; to divide.
1. Judicial decision or determination of a litigated cause; as a decree of the court of
chancery. The decision of a court of equity is called a decree; that of a court of law, a
judgment.
This is the gift of YHWH's goodwill. Put into context, Paul is not contradicting Yahshua, who said that the LAW will not pass away before heaven or earth. He's not telling us that we can live like lawless Hellians under grace because the LAW has been demolished. He's telling us that the judgements (under penalty of death) of our past sins are taken away, through Yahshua, by the goodwill of Yahweh.
The fleshSo if THE LAW wasn't nailed to the (stake) pale; what was?
I'll try,the part of us that tries to glorify or justify itself.can you explain?
the old nature?I'll try,the part of us that tries to glorify or justify itself.
Our sins are resolved, His resurrection is our assurance.the old nature?
I can see this, But what about the penalty of sin? Was it paid also. or are we still required to pay for our own sins?
Yes,, As he rose, we shall rise also..Our sins are resolved, His resurrection is our assurance.
I would only point out that it is the spirit of the law that we are to be obedient to and that we are no longer bound by the letter of it (Romans 7:6, 2 Corinthians 3:6).

Nice and clearly said...AMEN!!!
Congratulations.
You just provided evidence of what I am saying that folks unwittingly use a modern commentary to debunk the KJV.
NOT!I've known for many years that the KJV was built on corrupted manuscripts.
