Matthew 5:17-20
5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Edit :
that entire section is from the sermon on the mount. Heres a page link to the entire chapter.

Immediately before is this:
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
And immediately after:
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Final edit :
Seriously guys, she wasn't asking for advice on her faith, or your opinions on her choice of faith...so why did you all feel the need to come and post like you did attacking the bible and Christianity? You didn't come here to answer the question, just attack her. Thats low. She came here for help with a bible passage, not your opinion on it.

Hebrews 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Gal 5:14 is one Scripture. Matthew chapter 5:17 is another.

I don't think it says that the NT fulfills the OT. There are certain thing that are fulfilled int he New, but there is also a lot of new things in the NT as well. Christ fulfilled many of the prophecies of the OT.

The new testament is told from the old testament and this is a fact.
The spirit side of things tend to make people wander, but it was showed to me years ago froma preacher where the old testament talks about the new testament . Spooky!
