The verse that precedes this "he (violator of the law) shall be called the least in the kingdom" passage reads: "I (Jesus) came not to abolish the law but to fulfill the law." In fulfilling the law, Jesus completed the law by obeying the law perfectly and by completing the sacrificial system. In what way can God offer one more sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins? Jesus' pronouncement, "It is finished," signified the completion and fulfillment of the law. Jesus saves to the uttermost!
The Mosaic Covenant is a conditional covenant made with Israel and not with the church. It involves the Mitzvoth laws - blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The law of commandments and ordinances served as a wall (Eph 2:14-15) to separate the Israelites from the Gentiles who did not participate in the covenants of promise but were separated.
The law was given until the "seed shall come." Christ the seed has come. Hence, the Mosaic Covenant - the law of Moses, the old sacrificial system and the covenant on which it rested - was rendered obsolete. The word for obsolete is the same Greek word used by Jesus in Mark 2:20-21 when He says not to sew old cloth on new. Referring to the Decalogue, 2 Cor 3:4-11 states that the commandments written in stone have come to an end. God told His people that a new covenant would be made (Jeremiah 3:33; Ezekiel 36:22-27). Subsequently, the Mosaic Covenant was replaced with the New Covenant, which was made possible by Jesus Christ (Heb 8:6-13).
The Christian lives by the Law of Christ (Law of the Spirit). We're not under the M C; therefore, we're not obligated to keep the laws of the M C. But we're not lawless as you often allege we are. Insofar as we love God and love our neighbor, we keep the law of God in the New Covenant, upholding the law by faith (Rom 3:31) and by love (Rom 13:8). We're under the law of Christ (Gal 6:2) and the law of the Spirit of Life (Rom 8:2).
By your own admission, you do not have a thorough grasp of the Bible, but you often act like a know-it-all, always telling us Christians we're gullible, intellectually dishonest, on the wrong path, lawless, etc. I see you're confused about the Law of Moses and the Law of Christ. Yes, they have similar commandments. But, because 9 of the 10 commandments can be found in the N T, it doesn't mean the Law of Moses is still in effect. If, for instance, a Christian steals, they break the law of Christ, not the Law of Moses. If we choose to keep part of the law (for example, dietary laws), we're free to do so, but keeping the Law of Moses is neither commanded or expected. To keep part of the Mosaic Law out of the belief that we're obligated to do so is to not have trust in the perfect and complete work of Christ. The Law of the New Covenant is established , not by the Mosaic Covenant, but rather by the Law of Christ. Remember Jesus say to not sew old cloth on new.
