Yes.
But if you cannot answer the question raised you must admit to lack of understanding.
Paul taught that God's giving of the Torah was like a school master exposing to ourselves our true state. Some of your team have said surely God would expect us to be able to keep the requirements of the law. This may seem just from God's standpoint but its our old nature that makes it impossible not God's holy requirements. If this was not so it would have been unnecessary for the death of Yeshua. I now have his conferred righteousness. Hence my pleasing God now takes on a new status. The law was given by Moses, Grace and truth now subsist through Yeshua Mashiac. This is why dear AGR is not with it as far as I am concerned. Historically Peter did not realize that Paul's gospel preaching would require this understanding.
Personally I could make the case for being under law, Ha Torah. As circumcised I would not make a problem. I can say that Saturday is the day I remember my Creator. I could go up to Yerushalayim for the 8th October, the Feast of Booths, one of the times I must appear before God. But all this would constitute a religious observance to fit in with those who are Torah observant.
Paul tried hard to bridge the gap in the scripture quoted, Paul's beating Acts 21:32, but there was a problem!
