That's not what fucking jesus said in your stupid-assed book.
Quote:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

You should probably go back and read the fucking thing. See what you've been doing wrong!
If I was looking for a person who understands scripture, it wouldn't be you Mini. Who was the law given to and, therefore, was required to follow the law? It was given to the Israelites, the Jewish nation. Jesus was saying that the law would never change; he was not here to abolish the law, but he was here to fulfill it. We do know from this that the law still remains intact and must not be changed. The question then, is who is now under the law. The new testament states numerous times that if you have the Spirit of Christ, you are not under the law.
Galatians 5:18New Living Translation (NLT)
18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. ( And many other similar verses.)
Who then is under this unchanging law? It's the same Jewish nation who refuses to accept the freedom from the law that Jesus offers. If they refuse to accept that salvation then they are still under the law. And here is the result of this mentality:
Galatians 3:10-12New Living Translation (NLT)
10 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.”[a] 11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”[b] 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”[c]
They were cursed and needed a savior because they couldn't obey all the commands of the law.
So am I going to worry about following the law? Of course not. So quit hitting me with all that those crazy regulations that the the Israelites were required to follow because I'm not under that law. It just doesn't apply to christians - or to you either.
