People keep saying Jesus fulfilled the Old Testaments but so what? He still taught against it.

He fulfiled the old testament prophecies, The mosaic law of sacrifice was abolished through his death, that was all, no more no less.

No He did not. He taught against the things that were added to the laws down through the years after they were given.
Man changed the Mosaic laws so that by the time Jesus arrived they were not the same as the original.
In other words Truth mixed with man's tradition...
Hey that sounds like a Christian denomination I know of today.

False, never once did Jesus go against the Mosaic Laws unless it was a Law that was made up to preserve culture, like the passover.
Jesus lived life as a Jew, but the Jews were the ones that brought him to the governer to be killed as a criminal. The Roman governor saw him innocent, it was the Jewish religious officials that screamed "murder him".
It was accepted, though, his death insured the sacrifice, He knew he was going to die the night before when he prayed on the mountain. Many Jews don't believe the New Testament, hoping for someone else to come to make their nation great financially, power wise, or whatever.......I'm not sure what to say about that....
Keep going?? The Christ came and rose again, if you want something more than that, make up a story for yourself.....the Old Testament told that he would be coming. I think God has to have a sense of humor.....

The old testament as you state it is not equal to the Law Covenant.
A great deal of Christian teachings, of Christ's teachings can be directly linked to a particular scripture in the Old Testament.
Jesus NEVER TAUGHT THAT THE MOSAIC LAW WAS WRONG! He NEVER TAUGHT AGAINST IT.
The problem with the Law Covenant was that it depended upon works to gain life - eternal life. Not faith! So the law was good as Paul explains. Humans however were too sinful to benefit from it. We needed the Law of Faith, which Christ brought.
Please study this HP about the Law Covenant:

Yes U R right, Christ did fulfil the old testament. A great king was promised throughout the entire Old Tes but the books of the OT also tell us that mankind failed in keeping God's Law. So Christ was sent. He did teach against the old Laws because he was assigned to do so by his Father. His whole purpose on Earth was to attone our sins. We were failing ourselves so he stepped in and went to the cross. He gave us a new commandment.... To love one another. Makes much more sense to me. Obey this commandment and you will keep all the others.

No, He did not teach against it. The law of moses was to prepare the people to live a higher law. Jesus' law. He came to fulfill the law. He didn't teach against it but taught that it was "done away with".....it was a rebirth, a new time. Old Testament teachings were given by God to His people so they would obey...they were a very stiffnecked people and God had to be quite strict with them.

In Galatians Paul speaks about this particular subject, if i am reading your question correctly? I really do not want to type the whole chapter but reference Galtians 3 pay close attention to verses 15-25. Jesus' blood was payment to free us from the law to fulfill by the grace and mercy of God the promise he made to Abraham. If you need further clarification I will be happy to cover this with you

F: In the NT, Jesus fulfilled the demands of the law when He died on the cross. The OT law was needed because man did not have a way, the strength to keep the law. Christ died on the cross, rose again and now as the Life-giving Spirit lives in us to fulfill the demands of the OT law.

I don't think He taught against it, for say.
He did make the point, in essence, that the law was getting in the way of our relationship with the Father.
But it is true that if we do live our life's for the Father, in love, peace and such, that the law is not required. I have heard it said the law was created for the unbeliever.
Peace

God put the law in place to show us how impossible it was to earn our way into heaven by works. There was only one person on earth who kept them all and that was Jesus. He fulfilled the law by being the only man to live by them then taking our sins upon himself and dying with them on the cross.
Jesus did not teach against them. He was just pointing out that the law could not save us because we cannot keep them all. He did that for us. Thats how he became the way to heaven. he fulfilled the law for us. So we were once condemned by the law but thru Jesus we are redeemed by it.
