In Matthew 5:17 Jesus reportedly said:
"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. For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law
until everything is accomplished.…"
Isn't that plain enough?
You highlighted and underlined the wrong sentence. Fixed that for ya.
So then now show where it is that those jots and strokes are plainly laid out in the same manner that God handed the jots and strokes at Sinai.
Hint: It doesn't exist.
One more hint: Did God use a pen and paper to hand off the Decalogue? Was it a scroll God handed Moses? A book?
So then AGAIN, the context is completely different to what you allege it to be. It's the CEREMONIAL laws that are changed/removed when everything is accomplished. Food, drinks, new moons, festivals, sabbaths...etc. These are laws of the ceremonial law, not the Decalogue. The ceremonial laws were the shadow of things to come...Christ's blood was shadowed by the blood of animals, the skins of animals that covered Adam and Eve were a shadow of Christ's blood that covers our sin...the food, the drink...these were all shadows of the Bread of Life, Christ's own body, of the Blood that Jesus said we must all drink...etc.
Everything in the Temple and everything that had to do with the Temple was a shadow of the reality in Christ...all accomplished THROUGH Jesus' redemptive work and NAILED to the cross.
So...do we then nullify God's Law? No...because that is a different law...IT points at sin, NOT Christ's redemptive work.
