Is the Torah law, teaching, direction, just some good advice, or what?
Ultimately, regardless of whatever frame someone tries to impose upon
it, it is required to be done, and it is the basis for legal judgment in
the system it establishes. Though it might arguably qualify for other
categories as well, it would certainly fit the definition of "law".
While some have been taught to be opposed to His commandments when they
are framed as "laws", and while some are more open to the Torah being
presented as simply "teaching", this reframing should not serve to
shroud how the Torah presents itself. The Torah itself is a
non-amendable Law established by YHWH, even though some have yet to be
open to accepting it as good and wise.
