People seem to think when jesus was earth he abolish the law, but this verse tells otherwise....
Think not that I am come to destroy the law. ... I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. ... Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:17, 18.
what do u think?

I don't think that Jesus came to take away the law. People will say that because there's a new covenant, we don't have to keep the ten commandments. But the new covenant says that the law will be written in our minds and hearts. Heb 8:8-13. The only thing that was abolished by the death of Jesus was the 'law of commandments contained in ordinances', which is the sacrificial system. Jesus was the fulfillment of that, so that after his death it was no longer necessary.

Good observation. Actually in areas of moral concern, Jesus actually made the law harder to bear. In the sermon on the Mount Jesus said hating was the same as murdering and lusting was the same as adulterating. The moral teachers of his day lessened the requirement to keep these laws whereas Jesus expounded upon the gravity of what the law demands.
In other areas (mostly cultic purity) Jesus was pretty nonchalant. He would heal on the Sabbath. He would let himself get touched by an impure woman, etc. Some of the fisstidious details of the law that were added to ensure no one broke the law (aka Mishnah), Jesus disregarded quite completely. Jesus is not a libertarian when it comes to the O.T. law. He actually seems to be someone who tries to resurrect a true understanding of the law.

No, Jesus did no longer abolish God's regulation. He mentioned that they may well be summed up in to 2 rules which replaced into to love the Lord, God with all our heart, soul, concepts and potential and then to love our neighbor as ourselves. This has no longer replaced and the international would be a different place if we would do those 2 issues.

You answered your own question.
Luke 24:44 And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
And i would tell you that JESUS also said HE would pour out of the HOLY SPIRIT over the land in the last days and young men would prophecy and old men would dream dreams . .. there is much said among the Saints about JESUS we should give ear to them . .. for that which is written about JESUS in the Bible and among the Saints will be fulfilled in the days to come.
LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.
:Responsorial Edit: This idea of JESUS keeping or breaking the law is a moot point. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD . .. therefore JESUS not only speaks the LAW . .. JESUS IS THE LAW . .. JESUS cannot sin, anymore than GOD would lie to us, or break the commandments HIMSELF. . . . GOD the FATHER is not only giver of the law . .. GOD OUR FATHER is THE LAW and therefore cannot go against HIS OWN WORD . .. we could argue all things are possible for GOD . .. for instance GOD gave HIS SON for us . .. was it a sin? . .. but so much good came from it . .. GOD cannot sin and all in GOD will prosper if they are obedient to the will of GOD . .. it is the will of GOD that we keep the commandments and be saved for eternity in LIFE through the WORD OF GOD which created all things.

Just like the Scripture you quoted says, He didn't come to do away with the Law, only to amend it to where man would be able to live under a dispensation of Grace, allowing God to dwell within them personally and have a relationship with God that would let them know by being "pricked in their hearts" that they were in sin and could find repentance, instead of having to wait until Passover and have an animal that COULDN'T WILLINGLY die for their sin to begin with, be slaughtered! If a person lived and DIED like that between Passovers, they died in their SINS! Thank God He fixed that for us!

He set the new law which all the old rested on. As far as the Laws Of Moses, yes, they have been fulfilled. Father it is done. The debt of the curse as been paid in full.

No. He followed the law in everything He did. He did give his apostles the keys to bind on earth and it would be bound in Heaven. Acting under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, Peter, the senior apostle, received revelation that changed dietary and other rules.

He did not abolish the LAW AND THE PROPHETS but made the distinction between God's commandments and man-made laws.

Nope... Words attributed to him, characterize him as a SUPPORTER OF THE LAW..
He can also been seen as an APOCALYPTIC PROPHET. People have written that he preached about "The Kingdom of G-d" is coming. And then suddenly after his death, and there were no "END OF DAYS", the phrases are changed to "The Kingdom" IS within Yeshua(Jesus)..
