It is not RITUALS that are incorrect, or wrong (you DO believe in Baptism, for instance, don't you?) It is that the specific rituals surrounding the Law of Moses had any effect in "saving" them.

The temple is important, is it not? Christ Himself stated this, did He not?

You might consider gaining more knowledge. There are so many areas in which it is so obvious you have little understanding. Equating temple worship with the Law of Moses is one example.

Christ never said "I come to make sure you don't need this temple anymore."
