The Scriptures were pointing to JESUS.

That’s why the Law was given, so that He would be recognized when He came because He fulfilled prophecy.

He didn’t come to reteach the Law. There was no need for that.

He didn’t come to reteach the Law. There was no need for that.

Again, this is an example of spinning events in the Bible so they don't point at you.
Jesus did not teach the Mosaic law, He taught the law of Abraham.

The prophecies were misinterpreted by those that only went to the scriptures to discern the truth. They relied on their own understanding and they ended up rejecting Jesus and crucifying Him.

That's the 800lb gorilla in the room.

He didn’t come to reteach the Law.

Ridiculous. That was 95% of all of what Jesus did. They had the Mosaic law, Jesus spend years teaching them the higher law of Abraham.

Matt 5:38
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Here's just one example of Jesus reteaching a higher law.

Jesus taught that we have to appeal to God for the answer first in prayer and He would reveal the answer to us through the Holy Ghost. The answer might be in the scriptures, it might give us the answer in our minds, or through another person.

But relying on your own understanding of the scriptures is what caused the great apostasy and all the pain and suffering it brought with it.

You are trying to discern the things of God the exact same way the Pharisees did and your result has been the exact same.
