When he tasted the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and died.
Now back to Mat 5:18 Jesus came to 'full fill the law and in your version verse 18 says I assure you that nothing will disappear from the law until heaven and earth are gone. The law will not lose even the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter until it has all been done.
Which again was completed on the cross when Jesus died.
Yes the law remains as heaven and earth are here, but it has indeed changed as the law has been full filled. Which means a NT Christian (one who has received the atonement offered by Christ) is not judged by the law as a means to righteousness. Or the law is not used to 'judge the morality' of the sanctified believer. When a believer is judged it is the righteousness of Christ himself that is judged.
Or do you not understand the divide between OT Judaism and NT Christianity. If NT Christians were to follow ALL the laws and if none of them changed then we'd be OT jews. as it is our dietary, social and even moral laws all have changed. So clearly your interpretation of Mat 5 is wrong.
"It is finished" does not mean the same as "Now that I am dead everything that God said to Moses is now null and void." "It" is not specified, but in the context of him being crucified to death, it seems more likely to mean his ordeal, or his whole life.
In the sermon on the moutn, Jesus didn't say "...until I am dead." he said "...until all heaven and earth have passed."
This seems like you aren't joining the dots, you're adding extra dots to draw what you want to see. I don't buy it.
