Just to be clear, this business about the law being unfulfillable except through Christ's sacrifice is Paul's schtick. Practicing Jews throughout the ages haven't seen it that way. But then again, if I had some snake oil to sell Gentiles as Paul did, I'd probably find some way to rationalize ignoring Torah too.
