Answer in the OP.
To recap:
Quote:How have you determined that the moral law remains,It is repeated in the NT, as a testament to the faith/life of the believer.
Quote:and how have you determined what is under the remit of moral law?Because it has been spelled out in the books that compile the NT.
Quote:Why is atonement incomplete or insufficient for all transgression?This answer divided our churches even today into two groups: The Legalists, who claim we must earn our way to righteousness through strict adherence of the law, and those who teach of the freedoms found in books like Romans and Galatians.
Where the "moral law" is the template of what a true believer naturally exudes. If you truly belong to Christ you automatically follow the Moral law and the law simply becomes signage confirming the path you have taken. Rather than a standard one works to achieve, and must beg for forgiveness when ever he strays from it.
So in the Paulinian system of belief, when a true believer strays from that path, atonement covers said transgression like it does with the civil and ceremonial law. This principle is outlined in detail in the book of Romans.
Had to make an adjustment to make your statement read correctly.
