Ok... so we are going off track aren't we?
But my curiosity is killing me....
Is any random sentence or explanation of what was happening in the Old Testament part of the law?
Or.....
Do you think the part of the Old Testament before the law was given to Abraham is part of the law???????

AV-law 219; 219
1) law, direction, instruction
1a) instruction, direction (human or divine)
1a1) body of prophetic teaching
1a2) instruction in Messianic age
1a3) body of priestly direction or instruction
1a4) body of legal directives
1b) law
1b1) law of the burnt offering
1b2) of special law, codes of law
1c) custom, manner
1d) the Deuteronomic or Mosaic Law
One of the things we loose sight of as Americans is that the meaning of the word that is (for the most part) mistranslated as "law" also means instruction and prophetic teaching. In this respect every jot and title of the Bible is "Law" hence Jesus' remark.
The new testament, and in particular the writings of Paul build upon this earlier instruction and teaching... they do not replace or do away with them. The New Testament is essentially God's word 202, if I may be so bold.

So then answer my question....
There was a time before the law was given to Abraham was that time of the law as well?

Before Abraham was the Covenant of Grace, Conscience, and (something else in the Garden that I forget ) Then Law, Then Grace again (here we are ) until GoD reactivates the Covenant of Circumcision. ( )

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

No, none can be rightous in the law. What about Moses and all those in the OT that walking in the sight of the LORD? Are they going to hell?

What I meant by reactivating the Circumcision is that the Tribulation is yet to come but we will not go through it be be Raptured from it before. (I know this is a pretty big debate and I'm just stating my position.)
