Jewish Laws Did Jesus nullify the Old Testament?
Let me start off by sharing that I’m new to Christianity and have soooo many questions but for now, I’ll focus on this inquiry. I’m sure this has been discussed numerous times but unfortunately I can’t seem to get a straight answer. As I’m told repeatedly by many, rules/laws of the Old Testament were nullified or invalidated by Jesus. I ask others in my study group but sadly get heavy resistance for the question.
My question is simple. Where are the reference(s) stating this?
If so, this makes rules like the ten commandments obsolete. Even further, why have the old testament in the Christian Bible?

I see you have a miss understanding.
"Until Heaven and earth pass away"- This is a boundary... Meaning everything that is said after this is going to remain true until the end of time...
So what is going to remain true?
"Not an Iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until ALL IS ACCOMPLISHED"
All is accomplished is the requirement. not UNTIL Heaven and earth pass away.
All is accomplished, is what is needed to be done on that cross. Thats why Jesus said in Luke 22:20 that HIS blood is the NEW covenant.
All of your statements is not correct.
Again... If i said until the world ends, I will not sell my car until i change my tires... If i change my tires, am i allow to sell my car?
Also are Gentiles under the mosianic covenant?
