Also, you are twisting the scripture about the law being fulfilled. It doesn't say that as long as the earth exists that not one jot or tittle would pass from the law. It says that Heaven and earth would not pass, until ALL of the law be fulfilled.
Where was it fulfilled?
At the cross.
Did any of the law pass before the cross, no. That is why we see Jesus heal a man, and tell him to go to the priest and offer what Moses commanded, that is why we see pharisees tithing of spices, and Jesus telling them they ought to have done that, while not leaving the other undone. That is why the gospels are full of the law (in setting), but the epistles explain this relationship between the law and grace, and where the dividing line is.
Which is, again, the cross.

Colossians 2:14-17
