According to Jesus the law shouldn’t have been abolished:
“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” John 15:10
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
“For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” Matthew 5:17-18 NIV
Jesus says ‘I have not come to abolish the law, one letter or stroke shall not be taken from the law’.
“Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19
Above Jesus is clearly saying that, whoever breaks of the least commandments and teaches others too is doomed in the hereafter. Paul is the one who is breaking and teaching others to break the commandments.
“If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:17 NIV
”For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20
Your works of righteousness must exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees otherwise you will not enter heaven. Did Jesus make a mistake here? Paul is preaching a different message!
James was the brother of Jesus and had the same message as Jesus unlike Paul.
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”
“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror”
“and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”
“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” James 1:22-25 NIV
“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?” James 2:14 NIV
“So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.” James 2:17 RSV
“Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?” James 2:22 KJV
“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:24 KJV
