“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17)
“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19)
You, like every other apologist, are redacting the bible in your mind and expecting that to "prove" your version is the correct version.
See the parts I put in bold. "All the things that took place" were foretold of Jesus and "fulfilled" when He "accomplished" it on the Cross. Chew on that for a while.
