Torah will never “pass away.” Even when the Prophets and Hagiographa are not longer publicly read as scripture Torah (and the Book of Esther) still will be. Also how do you “prove” that chr*stianity is the “new covenant” prophesied by Jeremiah? If you do so by quoting the “new testament,” then we will get nowhere, since it is the validity and trustworthiness of the “new testament” that is the matter of dispute before us.
I am busy working on an exposition of the Jewish position. Unfortunately I lost much of it and am having to rewrite a great deal but will do the best I can. Your patience is appreciated.
If the “kingdom of Heaven” began 2000 years ago, then obviously you do not believe in a literal millenial kingdom.

How do I prove Christianity is the New Covenant? Good question Sir! The Tanach/Old Testament points to it. Please read http://www.direct.ca/trinity/y3nf.html and http://messiahrevealed.org/category-index.html for an overview.
The “kingdom of Heaven” began 2000 years ago, in that according to the New Covenant promised in the Tanach/Old Testament, those who believe it would have their “heart of stone” exchanged for a “heart of flesh”. Jeremiah again I believe. God did say in the Torah 7 times by my count, that the Jewish people are “stiff necked”. Ezekiel 3 expounds the same, more humorously.
The literal/physical Kingdom will begin when Jehoshua Melech Ha Moshiach (Jesus King Messiah) comes back, like he said he would. 300+ prophecies were fulfilled in the 1st coming, and 150+ (?) remain unfulfilled, until his 2nd.
Have a great day Sir!
Please forgive me, but chr*stians have been saying this for 2000 years and stating the claim does not prove it. Neither do the "new testament's" claims prove anything to anyone who doesn't believe it already.
According to the Talmud, 40 years before the destruction of the 2nd temple, God stopped accepting the sacrifices of the Jewish people, though there was no exile.
At that exact time, Jesus was preaching the Kingdom of Heaven, and performing miracles, and claiming to be God, and Son of Man, ... and called an agent of the devil by the Rabbis.
I think God showed the Jewish leaders of 30A.D. exactly what he thought of their spiritual discernment, and leadership of the Jewish people.
So you're saying that the Jews of the time actually knew that J*sus was the messiah but rejected him anyway just out of pure "meanness," like some villain from a stage melodrama? You must think the Jewish people are EVIL.
Please read my upcoming post which is pitched at antinomian Protestants like yourself.
