With Jesus' advent the levite priesthood was finished, there are no more offerings, except spiritual offerings in spiritual temples:

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

Furthermore, the levite priests never had a part of the land. They were God's part, He was theirs. Now, as Jesus said, his kingdom is not of this world. 'Nuff said

He renewed the priesthood of Melchizadek and offered bread and wine. An offering that continues to this day (and most certainly was the center of liturgical worship in the early church). Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

That demolishes your attempted point. He fulfilled the law.... He didn't destroy it. The Law remains.
