You completetly overlooked the first part of my comment. Which was that the Mosaic Law was a bi-lateral covenant between God and Israel. It had legal conditions. Israel broke the covenant and failed to inherit all the blessings. One of the blessings was they would be a light and bring blessings to the Gentiles. They failed. Israel was destroyed in 70AD. The contract ended. No more temple, no more ceremonial animal sacrifices. No more theoracy.
Jesus was regarded as the true Israel of God. He fulfilled all the conditions of the mosaic law and received all the blessings. He has the authority to institute a new covenant, which he did. Fleshly Israel was given first right of refusal to be part of this new covenant.

esus explained to his disciples that the ceremonial laws were fulfilled in him, no further slaughter of animals needed. He explained that sin was not just adultery, but was the LUSTFUL NATURE in the heart/mind. To enter his Kingdom one had to have a chage of NATURE, that enables one to overcome the lusts that give birth to sin, that laws, any laws could not achieve.

WHere does Jesus say sacrifice was not needed, scripture and quote please ? Jesus himself went to the temple many times, the main purpose of the temple was to give sacrifices. That doesnt make sense. If there are no sacrifices then the temple is outdated as it was filled with altars etc to facilitate this. NO where does he say destroy the temple and replace it with a different device.
Scripture please..
Im not sure what your point about adultery is, i dont know what or how to reply to this. That line is mostly nonsense, it can mean different things to different people. Diff cultures have diff opinions on what is just. Jews back then had a very different one to what you or me think.

I have seen some of your older comments and you don't seem to have any love for fleshly Israel or Jesus, a little bit ingenious don't you think ? Or do you have other motives? Just sayin !
mP: Regarding Jesus, my answer doesnt rely on whether he existed was the son of God or was a mere mortal. In our history for 2000 yrs he has been a figure head and example for much. Because of what Jesus didnt say a lot of horror and unspeakable crimes were and are committed today. Half the world was a slave in those times, im not saying Jesus could have prevented it by words. ALl im saying is if he tried a few times to say SLAVERY IS WRONG, then maybe a few people might have realised and perhaps that insitution would have ended earlier than it did. The same goes for womens equality and pedophilia. Of course greedy barstards would not listen, but a lot of people just might have and this can only be a good thing. Pedophilia has nnormal practice in times past, everybody did it in the open it was the hidden thing of today.
I dont like the racist attidude of the OT. All that we are chosen people and we have the right to kill, rape and steal from you nonsense should be condemned. This attitude is what got Jerusalem destroyed in 70AD. Rome got sick of the jews rebelling because they wouldnt integrate and many rebel groups formed and went about causing trouble. Surely you can see that this separation based on race is well the cause of a lot of unnecessary trouble.
You're good at putting words in Jeremiah's mouth.
