If the Law (Torah) were a curse, then…

• YHVH (God) would have given his Chosen People a curse.
• David would have delighted in a curse and meditated on it day and night.
• Then the curse (Torah) would be summed up in 2 commandments: Love YHVH with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.
• People would have died because of disobedience to a curse.
• Yeshua and Paul would have followed a curse all their lives.
• …

Doesn’t make much sense, does it? There are so many more instances I could think of that really wouldn’t make sense if Torah was a curse. Yeshua came because Torah alone was insufficient to save us. He did what it couldn’t do. That doesn’t make observing Torah wrong, or make it a curse. Point being, Torah (the Law) isn’t the curse. It never was.

The problem was sin, not the Law. Yeshua observed the Law properly and was (consequently) without sin. Paul continued to observe Torah after He was saved. How could this be if Torah was the curse  Yeshua came to save us from? It doesn’t make sense. Torah isn’t a curse.
