>>Nothing more is needed than his ratification of Moses (Mat 5:17-20)<<

Ah yes! The old “fulfill” meme that falls flat on it’s face under scrutiny.

Matthew5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Fulfill – To bring into actuality; effect: fulfilled their promises. To carry out (an order, for example). To measure up to; satisfy. See synonyms at perform, satisfy. To bring to an end; complete.

To bring to an end because they have been satisfied just as Paul states.

Romans 10:4 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

Jesus fulfilled all the requirements of the law for us because we are totally incapable in this earthly flesh. We have been clothed with the righteousness of Christ and can appear before the Father having been cleansed and purified.

The apostles cleared up all that dietary and carnal law keeping long ago and those who would attempt to put us back under them nullify the grace of God and the death of Christ.

Galatians 2: I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness be through law -- then Christ died in vain.

.
Both statements are false.

Only the spring feasts have been fulfilled, and your assertion that “we are totally incapable in this earthly flesh” makes every word of the great apostle John’s first epistle a lie.

Your post emulates Satan’s gospel: You can’t do it so don’t even try. A perfect recipe for eternity in Hellfire.
