>to return to following the Torah and to discard the teachings of the elders
false.
It is true that Jesus stated, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled" (Matthew 5:17-18). Jesus did not state that the law would never end. He promised that it would not end until it was fulfilled. He told the disciples the same in Luke 24:44, "Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."" The reason Jesus died on the cross was to fulfill the Law. And this Christ did. "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes" (Romans 10:4). Jesus was the goal of the law. He was the reason for its existence. He fulfilled all its promises and thus He brought it to an end in order to establish a new Law built on better promises.
