You either take these Laws literally, or you don't. You're either following what god told you to do, or you're not. It's really very simple.
Okay please explain to me what Jesus meant by fulfilling it? He provides example of fulfilling the law, when he takes the OT instruction of an eye for an eye, and transforms into turn the other cheek? How does the latter fulfill the former?
If the laws were unfulfilled before, what does Christ mean by fulfilling them?
The meaning of fulfilling the law, is significant, not something that can be set aside when trying to understand the meaning here, in fact latter NT writers indicate its love that fulfills the law.
