This is untrue! He could not come to "add to" that would break the law of which the old testament clearly stated would be breaking the law of "adding to or taking away."

Deu 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deu 4:6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

If Jesus did he would have been a transgressor of the law!

He may have revealed deeper the meaning but he did not add to or take away. Paul stated the LAW was to point to what SIN was. The Apostles did not have to point to what SIN was by makign a new list, it was revealed already in "the scriptures!" They did not have to point to the "letter" of to do what is right as it was already written and given and that is what he said the purpose of the MC was for. As everyone new what the LAW was about. Also anything without faith is SIN! John also clearly pointed to what sin was. Do you believe in the commandment. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself? How about love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. These are all found in the law! Someone in there view may be under grace but it doesn't take away the fact that sin is still sin and we should not continue in it and that was defined in part in the MC. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? NO! Define sin? You have to point to the law not a new list that somehow gets defined.
Also the sacrificial aspects of the law and the priestly aspect don't point to sin or failure to love God and thy neighbor or to follow how God wants you to live. They point to Christ and his role in atonement etc... So don't try to say that to see what sin is in the MC one must follow the priestly aspects and offer sacrifices etc... Nobody is advocating that!
