I asked if God is above the law or not. You dismissed the question by saying that God is the law. Now you say that God is revealed through the law as if that is in any way relevant to the question.
I didn't dismiss the question, I gave you a factual answer," God's character is the law." I'm not talking about the law of Moses, I'm talking about the law given to all mankind. The law of Moses had special purposes for the Israelites, you'll need to research those for yourself I'm not getting into things no longer required for Christians. So now I'll say it again God's character (who He is) is the law and through that law we are able to see who God really is, I'm sorry you've missed this very important part of Christianity and the ability to grow in a relationship with God. Practicing a religion is what the Israelites did throughout scriptures and we see where that got them, God never intended them to be a people who only observed the laws given them to prove they were better than everyone else.
I've answered your question again in the way of the truth if you don't like what I say through my knowledge of scripture then I'm sorry. I want change my position to satisfy you, it's not my purpose in my walk with Christ.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
