    Disagree

    Law is the principles and regulations established in a community by some authority and applicable to its people, whether in the form of legislation or of custom

    How about you explain to us what that phrase actually means, or just put it into context. To me, it's meaninglesss, so I can neither agree nor disagree.

    ABSOLUTELY DISAGREE as did the Jews and the Christians

    Psalm 119[a]

    א Aleph

    1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,

    who walk according to the law of the Lord.

    2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes

    and seek him with all their heart—

    3 they do no wrong

    but follow his ways.

    4 You have laid down precepts

    that are to be fully obeyed.

    5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast

    in obeying your decrees!

    6 Then I would not be put to shame

    when I consider all your commands.

    7 I will praise you with an upright heart

    as I learn your righteous laws.

    8 I will obey your decrees;

    do not utterly forsake me.

    ב Beth

    9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?

    By living according to your word.

    10 I seek you with all my heart;

    do not let me stray from your commands.

    11 I have hidden your word in my heart

    that I might not sin against you.

    12 Praise be to you, Lord;

    teach me your decrees.

    13 With my lips I recount

    all the laws that come from your mouth.

    14 I rejoice in following your statutes

    as one rejoices in great riches.

    15 I meditate on your precepts

    and consider your ways.

    16 I delight in your decrees;

    I will not neglect your word.

    ג Gimel

    17 Be good to your servant while I live,

    that I may obey your word.

    18 Open my eyes that I may see

    wonderful things in your law.

    19 I am a stranger on earth;

    do not hide your commands from me.

    20 My soul is consumed with longing

    for your laws at all times.

    21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,

    those who stray from your commands.

    22 Remove from me their scorn and contempt,

    for I keep your statutes.

    23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,

    your servant will meditate on your decrees.

    24 Your statutes are my delight;

    they are my counselors.

    ד Daleth

    25 I am laid low in the dust;

    preserve my life according to your word.

    26 I gave an account of my ways and you answered me;

    teach me your decrees.

    27 Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,

    that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.

    28 My soul is weary with sorrow;

    strengthen me according to your word.

    29 Keep me from deceitful ways;

    be gracious to me and teach me your law.

    30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness;

    I have set my heart on your laws.

    31 I hold fast to your statutes, Lord;

    do not let me be put to shame.

    32 I run in the path of your commands,

    for you have broadened my understanding.

    ה He

    33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,

    that I may follow it to the end.[b]

    34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law

    and obey it with all my heart.

    35 Direct me in the path of your commands,

    for there I find delight.

    36 Turn my heart toward your statutes

    and not toward selfish gain.

    37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;

    preserve my life according to your word.[c]

    38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,

    so that you may be feared.

    39 Take away the disgrace I dread,

    for your laws are good.

    40 How I long for your precepts!

    In your righteousness preserve my life.
