In Col.2:14 it reads ...having wiped outthe handwriting of requirements that was against us which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Paul wrote this while inspired by the Holy Spirit. In Matt. 5:17 Jesus said "Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the prophets, I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. He then states in Lk. 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached and everyone is pressing into it. In Matt. 5:18 Jesus says the Law of Moses would pass away when all was fulfilled. The law of Moses was written for the Jews. Jews are the descendants of Abraham. All others are Gentiles. Under the old law only the Jews are saved. But Jesus fulfilled the law and then brought us the New testament which saves all. In Rom. 2:9-16 it cites that the Gentiles did not have the law(meaning Old law) but after Jesus' death all men received the gospel.
