*** Anyway the fact remains even if destroying the temple did somehow cacel Moses law, what is the replacement ? By way of your thinking that means anarchy or no law, *****
In this specific case, no anarchy, there were no Israelites to govern, they were dispersed. Do you think the new landlord Rome should impose the Mosaic Law in Jerusalem ? Of course not, its a rethorical question. ,! Where was the mosaic law enforced after 70 AD ?? There were laws in different lands, but not the civil, cermoninal, and moral laws that made up the Mosaic Law. As Jesus said IT IS FINISHED! He personally fulfilled it.

So ends the central shrine of Judaism. In the words of Josephus, 'neither its long history, nor its vast wealth, nor its people dispersed through the whole world, nor the unparalleled renown of its worship could avert its ruin'. The destruction of the Temple is another turning point in Jewish history (see theTemple in Jerusalem)

*** The WhiteHouse where all laws are signed into effect was burnt by theBritish in 1812, that doesnt mean the entire constitution of the US was cancelled ? ****
I don't agree with your analogy, American people remained in the land to be governed. Jerusalem was leveled to a pulp, and the Israelites were exiled throughout the world. There was no central authority for Mosaic law for the NATION. The mosaic law was ended, and there will be no official temple sacrificial cults setup in the future either in Jerusalem, like was promised after the 70 years punishment under Babylon.

Matthew 23
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’ [c] ”

**** In the end by your own admission the law of Moses was cancelled in 70AD because of the temple being destroyed, means Jesus was fine with it and the law continued from 30-70A*****
The temple being destroyed was proof, not the CAUSE, the cause was the failure of the nation of Israel. However, Jesus was able to fulfill the Mosaic contract and subsequently received all the blessings for a NEW CREATION, were " Jew and Greek " would be ONE.

*** Just because the temple or Jerusalem was destroyed doesnt remove or cancel a law***
When a contract is broken, there are consequences and liabilities, just like your mortgage, same here. 70 AD is proof as Israel suffers the consequences specified in the contract. The Mosiac Law was ended, history has proven it.

***Your conclusion that Jesus finished the law is completely broken, on multiple counts. You have never given an example of a replacement.****
The Mosaic law covenant was a bilateral contract between God and the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel broke the coventant. The proof is in history, the temple was destroyed, along with Jerusalem and the sacrificial cult....no scriptures necessary it's transparent in history. 70AD
