thats the words of Jesus Himself that will not go away and makes it very hard for me to see how the law can so easily be "done away with". the laws of the Almighty thrown out like garbage.
Friend, let us all not get 'off track record' here what is Grace and Truth sound doctrine Spiritual knowledge of the Kingdom of GOD given for 'born again believers' to come to 'knowledge faith' first and then therefore 'action faith' from the same 'AGAPE knowledge' for one another and the perishing world.
For Christians who do not 'go ahead' of CHRIST's word/teaching know wholeheartedly and in faith JESUS 'fulfilled' the 'Law and the Prophets' during HIS lifetime here on earth, with no sin against them, but lived and acted and spoke, all according to the 'requirements' of GOD HIS FATHER.
That 'fulfilled requirements' were not acted by JESUS according to the given 'Law of Letter' to sinners and to the 'Letter'. But GOD's 'true requirements in fulfillment to all of them', Only LORD JESUS CHRIST in 'rooted' spiritual knowledge faith and action based on that knowledge, written according to the given New Covenant/Testament of repentance and 'AGAPE' is the 'fulfillment', together with us in 'practice' and 'abiding' according to them in faith and bear much fruit even today.
According to the born again New Covenant/Testament faith, we 'practice' and 'abide' and 'bear much fruit', to us in faith, the 'Law and the Prophets' have been 'fulfilled' by our New MASTER JESUS, who have redeemed us from them, which we were weak and slaves to and in 'bondage', therefore were ruled by different slave masters then, that are 'sin and death'.
Since we have been 'set free' by JESUS and now 'set' in the 'path' of 'exceeding righteousness' than the 'Pharisees', who lived 'to the Letter', the given and written New Covenant/Testament, in 'practices' and 'abiding' and 'bear much fruit', to us the 'Old Law' have been 'done away with' by CHRIST.
But not at all the given and documented records of the 'Law and the Prophets', written in the HOLY BIBLE! For they are also 'Spiritual', 'Holy' and 'Righteousness' of GOD and acts as our historical 'reminder' and 'reference' and knowledge provider to be 'wiser' like our 'forefathers of faith' and like CHRIST.
When CHRIST called us all and set us free, we who have been 'born again', not only of water but also the HOLY SPIRIT, HE therefore also taught us to take and 'bear the light yoke' upon us, the given and written New Covenant/Testament, in order to 'plow' the 'ground', to 'practice' and 'abide' and 'bear much fruit',
we 'do not look back'.
In order to be 'distracted' and decide to back once again to the 'yoke of slavery'.
The Israelite who were set free from the slavery of Egypt and been therefore set in the path of GOD then, henceforth 'looked back to Egypt and according to them' and made GOD angry.
The Christians today 'look back to the law and the prophets and according to them' and make GOD even more angry for further 'repetition' of 'ignorance', those who have been made 'spiritual'.
GOD bless in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
