1) “For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV) Clearly the Old Testament is to be abided by until the end of human existence itself. None other then Jesus said so.

You can keep the law?
All of the Law?
I have walked with Jesus for a while now and even with the help of the Holy Spirit I can string a week together sometimes at best. The Law is our schoolmaster to show us GODs standard. Basically it shows us we are guilty. If we could keep the law then Jesus did not need to die.
GOD bless ya

The Old Testament is the law, the New Testament is the Gospel. When you take everything out of context, you miss the message.

Jesus did not come to invalidate the Old Testament Law but to fullfill it. He was justified by the law so that we could be justified by faith. The law of Moses still remains, not as a means of justification but as the curse of condemnation for those who seek justification by any other means than faith. This does not mean to say that law is done away with but those who are justified by faith seek to keep His commandments.
Mar 12:30-31
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. (KJV)

the mosaic law in the old testament was in place for the jews. they were Gods chosen people and he kept them separate by this law code. when jesus was baptised, he brought a new set of teachins for all people to follow, not just the jews. the mosaic law is still a fine set of principles to live by, but it is jesus's teachings which are relavent for our generation

Jesus came to fulfill the law not get rid of it or change it. Read the whole chapter and its context not just a part of it or you will easily misunderstand it! God Bless!

You're right. Jesus was an orthodox Jew from the West Bank.

Learn to comprehend what you read.
Biased assumptions come from weak philosophy.
Second, if you do not believe the Bible, why is it you attempt to use it against Christians?
Notice the word attempt.
