If I understood your post and this passage correctly. I will comment that the Law was never meant for non Jews. Jesus preached in the frame of Jewish environment, and debated the Law with other Jews. in the synagogues, the Temple, and probably on the roads. in effect Jesus was doing what Jews have been doing for the past 2000 years. studying the Law and debating it.
Yes officially the Jews were given the law, but unofficially also the gentiles were given the law, because we read in Romans 2:11-15, "For there is no partiality with God. for all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law; and all who have sinned under the law will be judge by the law; for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law will be justified. For when gentiles who do not have the law do instinctively the things of the law, there not having the law, are a law to themselves,
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them."
The gentiles have inflicted two curses upon themselves. taking a Jewish man as their God, and trying to release themselves from the bound of a Law which was not part of their culture.
It is a blessing to take the Lord and Saviour as our God because He is all that He said and more. In regard of the law the gentiles were tricked to take the law upon themselves by the Jews who were false brethren. For we read in Galatians 2:3-5, "But not even Titus who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. But it was because of the false brethren who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. But we did not yeld in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.
This thread shows that nothing has changed, because the Jews are still at it.
The vast majority of Jews, mainstream Jews, and mainstream Judaism have completely rejected Jesus. you might say it is wise. I would say it is trivial. no mainstream Jewish society will stand for a fellow Jewish man idolizing himself above the other men of his society. Jews have seen it and experienced it too often in the nations around them, including those nations which have oppressed them. the Pharaohs, the Roman Emperors, and other Mediterranean leaders.
most of the above is Half truths and fantasies. The fact is lets say that 50% of them rejected the greatest Jew that ever walked this earth, it was and still is a capital error.
As regards to the Law. in the last couple of centuries and perhaps more, Jews have been liberating themselves from the Law. mainstream Jewish culture lives by political interests and healthy common logic. while still firmly holding to a Jewish identity and heritage, and manifesting this identity in a way which is relevant to the time.
Yes you are spot on this time, they accuse Paul of replasement theology while they have done that and more in recent time.
