First, what is the "Law of Moses" - I will assume you are speaking categorically, and not prejoritively since the most often repeated phrase in all of Scripture is, "The L-RD spoke to Moses, speak to the children of Israel saying..." It is the "Law of the L-RD."

“Now when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were completed, they brought Him to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.” (Luke 2:22)

There are many NT references to the Law of Moses.

If you knew the Torah, you would know that to offer animals outside of the confines and protocols of the Tabernacle/Temple is against the Torah.

Well, yes and no. The first Passover was not in the context of the tabernacle/temple. And it is impossible to have a Passover today without imposing the traditions of men on the activity. God left no rules for how to keep an ersatz Passover.

The fact is that you are not “observant” according to the command of God, but according to the traditions of men. That is what you are left with for the last 2000 years since Jesus

So, it's pretty clear that you divide the Bible, now isn't it?

If you knew those "traditions of men" you would know what Matthew 27 is all about. And yes, "keeping Passover" is impossible in its fullest sense, but if you knew the Torah you would know that remembering what cannot be observed because of obedience to another command (not offering outside of the Temple) is considered obedience. I am assuming that you never read Numbers 9? G-d is well-pleased with those who make every effort to obey Him.

And if you knew the Torah (yes, it is called the Law of Moses, but most often outside of the biblical context it is used to promote the idea that it is NOT the Law of G-d), you would know that after the first Passover is where G-d made it clear that it would never be permitted again outside of the Tabernacle/Temple.

As for "observance" - we do make every effort to keep the commandments of G-d. Do we fail in that sometimes? Of course. So did David, and yet his love for the Law of Moses is an embarrassment that must be recast by Supercessionists when read in Psalms 1, Psalms 19, Psalms 119 etc.

So when was the last time you kept the eternal Feast of the L-RD of Yom T'ruah? [Feast of Trumpets"]. It isn't a tradition of men - but an eternal appointment with the Almighty. So, tell me why don't you keep that? No Temple needed for that... And after all, Jesus kept it... Why don't you honor Scripture that way? Did Jesus tell you not to?
