Of course, I'm keeping in mind that you're merely playing advocatus diaboli here.

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." Matt 5:17-18
So I guess the coming of Jesus doesn't mean you can forget about the old testament?
