> Ah, but the just shall live by faith not the law.

That's not what Romans 10:5 and Galatians 3:12 say.  Those passages tell us 
(a la Leviticus 18) that the just (righteousness/eternal life) only live by 
keeping the law to perfection.

> The context of Gal 3:12 is important:

Yes... it's important... it tells us that eternal 
life/righteousness/justification only comes from obeying the law perfectly.

>Abraham and what Scripture tells us about him "his faith was "counted to 
>him as righteousness."

Yes, and the scriptures (Romans 10, Leviticus 18, Nehemiah 9, Luke 10, 
Galatians 3, etc.) also tell us that Abraham was only righteous through 
perfect obedience to the law.
