Hi Nancy,
What I meant was this. When Jesus died on the cross the curtain in the Temple that seperated the Holy of Holies from the outer Temple was ripped by God from top to bottom. This was symbolic because now through Jesus's blood we could all enter the Holy of Holies, or literally into the presence of God and the rituals of the Temple, priests, mosaic law were now obsolete. The Temple being destroyed physically later on was not important really because the New Covenant was alreay established.
Jesus said He came to fulfill not abolish the law which he did. But didn't he in fulfilling the law make it obsolete? We don't live under the law but under grace. So how do we think of the law? Fulfilled but of no use to us? By the law of the Spirit we are freed from the law of the flesh. I look at the law as a guideline that God used to educate His chosen people in many ways. But I don't see any connection with it for Christians. It has no power over us any longer.

Is that explained better?

Bob
