Matthew 5:18 English Standard Version (ESV)
18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Heaven and earth has not passed away and the law is still valid, but Jesus' followers are not under it, because he has fulfilled it for us.
Why would Jesus say the stuff about heaven and earth passing, if, as you claim, it is totally irrelevant to what he was saying? Does Jesus intentionally try to confuse people and mislead them into error?
