Does Galatians contradict Jesus with respect to the Law of Moses?

According to Galatians and the Acts 15 Church Council, the Law of Christ has been nullified and replaced by “the Law of Christ.” However, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” The purpose of this article series is to explain this apparent contradiction.

The Old Testament foresaw that the Law of Moses will fall away.

Jesus taught that everything in the Old Testament will come true. Paul, in Galatians, stated that the Law of Moses has been replaced by the Law of Christ. This is not a contradiction, for the Old Testament foresaw that the Law of Moses will fall away. Since the Law of Moses was “added” more than 400 years after God made the covenant with Abraham, the covenant is permanent while the Law was a temporary emergency addition “until the seed (Christ) would come.”
