The early Church faced the question of the Law. And they answered it.
Today the Law can't really be kept anymore (since the altar, Levitical priesthood, altar, and Temple don't exist).
So the question of the Law is itself void today.
But that doesn't mean the Law isn't still useful.
It doesn't mean we don't live the ethics and spiritual realities which the Law illustrated and foreshadowed.
Of course we do - but we do it without literally being obligated to Moses' Law as the civil and ceremonial system that it was.
