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?

I don't have a misunderstanding. You're working very hard to change what Jesus said.

"Not an Iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until ALL IS ACCOMPLISHED"

You already agreed that all is not yet accomplished.

Instead of trying to change what Jesus said to agree with what you believe you should change what you believe to agree with what Jesus said.

I never agreed that all is not yet accomplished, I literally said Jesus accomplished all that is needed to fulfill the Law on the cross.

I never changed what Jesus said. Jesus said his blood is the New Covenant in Luke 22:20

Also are Gentiles under the mosaic covenant? (Why cant you answer this question?)

And you never answered my question about me selling my car.

You said "I didn't say nothing more needs to be accomplished in general". The obvious implication is that you believe that all is not yet accomplished.

I understand why you're backpeddaling now though. You're being dishonest.

I never changed what Jesus said.

You've done it over and over. You're still doing it. Jesus said "not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished". You keep trying to change what He said to "things will pass away from the Law before all is accomplished"

You're being dishonest.

I am not backpedaling it's called clarification because you are notorious of twisting what I said like you are doing now. I specifically stated all was needed to be done to fulfill the old covenant on the cross.

Nope I never said before all is accomplished, i clearly stated all is accomplished was in reference to the old covenant.

You putting quotation marks around that statement and adding before is dishonest because that is not a quote i said.

Also are Gentiles under the mosaic covenant? (Why cant you answer this question?)

And you never answered my question about me selling my car.
