Have you ever put serious effort into understanding Romans? The KJV really butchers it and I suspect that that might play a role in LDS people not giving it much attention. It's so much easier to get insight from Paul's letter to the Romans in the NRSV, ESV, NET, REB, etc. that it isn't even funny. Paul discusses many approaches to understanding Jesus' relation to the OT, including the legal one, and does so in a way that can help someone consider Jesus' atonement in multiple paradigms. Regardless, I like that there is a broad spectrum of approaches to these important issues, and I don't want you to think I'm trying to call you out for special scrutiny.
