You have one other option... Figure out it is BS
You do understand that "The law" includes the laws concening attonement as well as the moral, social and ritual aspects?
If so then you understand "Full fillment of the law" means to complete the laws of atonement because they are the only aspect of the law left open ended/rituals having to be performed for the forgivness of sin.
So according to Christ Nothing goes away, He makes the laws harder/impossible to follow, which takes us/Christians to a place where we need to be in a state of continual/automatic atonement. Which according to everything after your quoted passage in the bible is what Christianity is all about. More over Paul in the book of romans explains in great detail that the whole law is always active, however we are no longer bound to the law as our sole means of righteousness. That righteousness comes from our attonement through Christ.
Yes, I do understand that. Then 1. Stop quoting the Old Testament. 2. Let's follow Paul and grab some slaves, concubines, never let women in the churches,... Ohh and don't forget... Thieves, robbers, adulter's (even in the mind), drunkerds and the greedy all rank evenly with these homosexuals you are bashing.
