Right, _Jesus_ fulfills the law, not us.  You can't even
understand the verses you cite.  Since you think we can
fulfill the law, you are again telling us we can do God's
job.  This is what Satan says:  "Ye shall be gods."  You
say the same thing.

And yet, we have verses which say that _no one_ does the will
of the Father.  You read Scripture in such a way that it
contradicts itself.  That can only mean you're reading it
incorrectly.  If you can't reconcile the two facts that 
1. all men sin and 2. no sinner enters heaven then you 
understand nothing about Christianity.  And so it's no 
surprise that you've gone off on the works-righteousness
deep end.

It's proof enough that you don't know what's going on.
You're cherry-picking your verses and ignoring the ones
that prove you wrong.

Where is your explanation of the contradiction you introduce?

I said the opposite:  I see.
