This is a big problem I have with your theology.
The entire law and the prophets were fulfilled by Jesus and that is a fact.
Your saying that a division in the law was not fulfilled and must be fulfilled by you.
Do you understand that the letter of the law is lethal?
first I have no personal theology, I read the bible all i say is from there, I investigate, I search for the truth. What I know I speak of, I dont know everything.

"The entire law and the prophets were fulfilled by Jesus and that is a fact."" no this is not so he did not yes establish the millenial kingdom. Jesus fulfilled ehat was spoken of him in the old testament, the prophecies there Perfectly, but not all. His death opened a direct way for us to GOD, directly , plus Jesus is now interceding for us.
""Your saying that a division in the law was not fulfilled and must be fulfilled by you. "" The law for the Jewish peoples then before Jesus death was the 613, the pharisees added so much more and had not the right to do so., it became a burden. this is not for us gentiles at this time, the Core of the ""LAW"" is the Ten commandments that God declared the Covenant. the division of the Law was made by God not me. the commandments were placed inside the ark of the covenant, the rest of the law of Moses was not inside it.
IMPOTRANT:
Deuteronomy 5:22 (KJV): "These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me."
This Verse Is Theologically Significant It establishes several important points worth sitting with.
To begin with, the Ten Commandments represent the complete and distinct covenant between God and His people. God spoke them directly to the whole assembly, with no intermediary involved, and then He stopped. That phrase "he added no more" is doing real work in the text. It sets these ten words apart from everything else given through Moses, all of which came later and through Moses as a go-between rather than directly from God.
This also helps us understand the difference between the ""moral"" covenant and the ceremonial or civil law. Everything else in the Torah, the sacrificial systems, the dietary laws, the civil codes, was delivered through Moses as a human channel. Only the Ten Commandments were spoken by God directly to the people and written by His own hand on stone. That distinction makes them uniquely the foundation of the covenant relationship itself, not just one layer of law among many.
""
Do you understand that the letter of the law is lethal?""
ansolutely yes the commandments must be kept in the proper way and not like the pharisees did, Jesus spoke at length on this.
The whole chapter Matthew 23 is one extended rebuke, but these verses cut to the heart of what Jesus was actually confronting, a religion that had become all performance and no soul.
Matthew 23:23 (KJV): "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone."
This is really central of the whole rebuke. What he is calling out is the absurdity of obsessing over the tiniest details while completely walking past the things that matter most, judgment, mercy and faith. He follows it up in verse 24 with one of the most vivid images in all of Scripture, straining out a gnat while swallowing a camel whole. That is a picture of people who had completely lost the plot.
Matthew 23:25–26 (KJV): "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also."
Matthew 23:27–28 (KJV): "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity."
That whited sepulchre image is striking. Beautiful from a distance, but the closer you get, the more you realise something is very wrong on the inside. That was Jesus's diagnosis of a religion lived purely from the outside in.
Matthew 23:4 (KJV): "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers."
No compassion, no gentleness, no love, no willingness to come alongside the people they were supposed to be shepherding. Just the weight of endless added requirements and not a hand offered to help carry them.
This is where the whole story finds its resolution, and what makes it so beautiful is that God had already seen this problem coming and announced the answer through Jeremiah, hundreds of years before Jesus ever set foot in the Temple courts.
Jeremiah 31:31–33 (KJV): "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people."
The Pharisees represent the end result of what happens when you try to live the law entirely from the outside. They had the commandments written on scrolls, carved on doorposts, even bound upon their foreheads and arms as the law commanded, and yet Jesus looked at them and said the inside was full of dead men's bones.
Jeremiah through God knew of the real problem. The covenant written on tables of stone was never going to be enough on its own, because the human heart without God's Spirit will always find a way to keep the letter while strangling the life clean out of it. What God promised through Jeremiah was something altogether different, not better rules, but a different kind of people. People with the law written in their inward parts, in a place no one can fake and no one can perform their way into.
That is exactly what the Holy Spirit does in the life of a believer. Paul captures it beautifully in 2 Corinthians 3:3, where he says believers are written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. The Pharisees kept the letter and killed the spirit. The New Covenant, made possible through Christ and carried out by the Holy Spirit, works the other way around entirely. It starts with the heart, and the obedience that flows from it looks nothing like straining gnats. It looks like judgment, mercy and faith, which is exactly what Jesus said they had thrown away.
