Context... Don't lift Jesus out of a context where he predicts the END OF THE LAW to FALSELY claim we are still under it.
Matt 5:17 “Do not think I have come to get rid of what is written in the Law or in the Prophets. I have not come to do that. Instead, I have come to give full meaning to what is written. 18 What I’m about to tell you is true. Heaven and earth will disappear before the smallest letter disappears from the Law. Not even the smallest stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED.
Matthew 5:17-18 Says Jesus didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. It ALSO LOOKS FORWARD to the time when IT WOULD BE DESTROYED.
-- If the law were not to be set aside, the "until everything is completed" clause is meaningless.
Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an end to the law with all its commands and rules. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.
Colossians 2:14 He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross.
Galatians 2:16 We know that no one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. That is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ, not by obeying the law. No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.
Galatians 2:21 I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!
Galatians 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace.

Then Jesus goes on to fulfill it and set it aside, giving us an entirely new covenant based on grace, salvation and the Church.
Read that passage agin, until it makes sense. Flip the order of the words around until it says something like, "The world will come to an end before either the law is changed, or until all is fulfilled."
Sometimes we loose a little something in translation.
Later, after the resurrection, Jesus explains all this in detail to the apostles, so they can understand it, too.
The new covenant Church was given the authority by Christ to make whatever new laws were necessary, based on the new realities. See "binding and loosing" in the Gospels.

Some people are just enjoying their ignorance conditions.
Q2:[6] As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.[7] Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).
I think, so many times muslims have explained the meaning of Allah in arabic(al-ilah=the God) but look at this man, keep saying the same thing. so many christians call their God as Allah, but still..their own brothers accuse them worshiping moon God.
it's just about attacking other religion, right? does it satisfy you enough?
Q41:[37] Among His Signs are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore Allah, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve.
Q22:[18] Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, the hills, the trees, the animals, and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace, none can rise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.
If Qur'an verses above still make you claim the same thing about Allah...well, we can see that there is something wrong with your mind and understanding.
