Not being under the Law, what does it mean?

Theology is human science, philosophy.

Do you think he was guilty?

Theology is scripture. Our personal ideas and opinions do not count. 

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

You're laughing at my sarcasm. Where do you see sarcasm here?
There are many ways to answer such a carelessly asked question, but I wonder why it was asked by a person who wrote more than 1,200 posts on this forum.
So I ask you again, have you heard of JESUS CHRIST, son of the LIVING GOD, Lord of lords and King of kings? I will also ask you immediately if you are aware of the greatness of His grace and perfection and the sufficiency of His sacrifice for our sins?

I wonder if you are secretly teaching a false gospel of salvation by grace plus works here?

I'm not secretly doing anything. Just wanted to talk about the topic.

What shall we say then, shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?
Certainly not.

Know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves slaves to obey, his slaves you are whoever you obey,
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

When you were the slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.
What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed?
For the end of those things is death. 

But now being made free from sin, and become slaves to God,
you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end, everlasting life. Romans 6:15 - 22

When we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which were aroused by the law,
did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now being delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by,
that we should serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter. Romans 7:5-6
 

We understand what the spirit of the law is; Matthew 7:12, John 15:12, Romans 13:8-9, Galatians 5:14.
And we have the Holy Spirit, the Author of the law, residing inside of us.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Christ from the dead is in you,
He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also give life to your mortal bodies,
by His Spirit that is in you.
Therefore, we are not debtors to the flesh to live after the flesh. Romans 8:10-14

This I say therefore,
walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Galatians 5:16

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control.
Against such there is no law.
And they that belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. Galatians 5:23-24

Thank you.

Before attempting to answer your question, I think it's important to realize that the Lord gave us commandments to follow for our own benefit. He wanted to keep us out of trouble. Therefore, he told us not to murder, steal, commit adultery, bear false witness, and so on.

Yes, I have noticed. Could you please tell me what is the Gospel (Good News) you believe in?

I believe Jesus paid the price for my sin, and now its my job to follow him. Not sure why you are so suspicious.

You see, because I believe He paid for all our sins. This is a colossal difference as far as our faith is concerned.
