"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
[The Bible, Mathew 5:17-20]

EVERYONE transgresses the law. As a matter of fact, the law is impossible for humans to keep. Which is the reason that God came to earth to save mankind by living the perfectly observant life--one that no mere mortal could live.
He didn't come to destroy the law, he wouldn't anyway because the law is God's law. He came to fulfill the law which means that since he perfectly observed the law and lived a sinless life, he could take on himself the sins (lack of observance of the law) of humans. He took upon himself the sins of all those who would believe in his sinless sacrifice on the cross and at the same time he bore the punishment that would have been theirs if they had had to die with their own sins on them.
Because man transgresses the law, man must be punished for his transgression. Jesus took the punishment on himself so that those who believe in him would not have to be punished. The law is still in effect in the sense that it is still the guidepost for human conduct that pleases God. However, the consequence for not completely observing the law is gone because Jesus paid the price (eternal separation from God) for breaking the law even though, and because, he Himself never did break it.

The word was fuffiled by Christ. I pray one day you will seek understanding from the true God of Abraham.
Before Christ men did sacrifice animals and man did folow the laws of the Sabbath and clean and unclean laws. These are fufilled by the atonement. The law is given to those who are not righteous as a righteous man has no need of the law.
consider Muslims for example when a Muslim dies and enters Allah's kingdom is he not made new? Do men in Allah's kingdom continue their sinful lives?Of couse not. the truth is God came to us to pay the penalty of death that all men did aquire... We by faith claim the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ this is the good news the Gospel.
We are by faith made new and are no longer under the law but new creatures. Now before you start to jump to the conclussion of many who lack understanding this is not a free card to sin but an opprtunity to become a new man and to be righteous under the law made new in agreement with God's righteouness and his laws.
All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God is the reason Christ came to the world.

Matthew had an ageda of his own. Unlike Mark, who basically just laid out the facts ( an home mat copied from) mat, wrote to descirbe christ the way he wished he was. All that stuff that appear no where else but is worked in to match "prophacy" etc. Mat was hard core on makeing Jesus a good jew rather than the radical transformer he was.
Jesus was not the son of the god of the old testimate ( a lesser godlet who trapped souls in the flesh so that he could lord it over them) but was sent to free us from him. He came to give us the knoweledge that would allow those possessing the devine spark to trancend the world.

ALL Bible believers transgress the Law.

That's why Jesus fulfilled it, and by his faith, we can faith in him. Romans 3.

Don't you ever get tired of asking questions that convince no one of anything and advertise your ignorance?
