There are two parts to the Old Testament law: the moral law, and the ordinances and sacrificial law. Christ has fulfilled both the moral law

I love Jewish people and some of my believing friends are of Jewish extraction. How can a righteous person hate the race of people from which the Messiah came?
And yet, like God, I can't agree with everything that Jewish people say or teach. And this is especially true concerning what some Jews teach about salvation.
I want to tear down the lies and every stronghold that raises itself up against the knowledge of God, as it says in 2 Corinthians 10:4,5
2Co 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
2Co 10:5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
You can used to be able to hear yourself what Joseph Prince teaches about the gospel and what he calls pure, uncluttered Christianity in the video at http://www.youtube.com/v/10lue7bhcK0. Obviously someone in his huge web team made sure the video came down, and as well as that someone was doing negative SEO on this page. But I have made a partial transcription below so you can save yourself a few minutes watching the video if you want to.
For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. (2 Corinthians 3:6-8)
Here is another vivid contrast between living by the old covenant of law versus living by the new covenant of grace. God’s perfect law is a “ministry of condemnation,” which compels people to draw upon man’s sufficiency. God’s glorious grace is a “ministry of righteousness,” which allows people to draw upon God’s sufficiency.
When we try to live by the law, we walk in condemnation. When we try to minister by the law, we put others under condemnation.
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
“And then I will confess to them, ‘I never knew you! Depart from Me, you who work iniquity!'” … Jesus – Matthew 7:22
You don’t have to be perfect to be saved. None of us are. Except for Christ, no man has ever lived perfectly on this earth. But amongst the imperfect, there are those who fear God and those who do not fear Him.
This study seeks to present a Biblical teaching of how we can keep on receiving God's grace, life and power in our lives, so that we can be what we ought to be as Christians, both in the church and in the world. We will examine the subject of what God's grace is, and how it can be received and applied in our lives. This will help us to avoid the cycle of failure, resolutions, repeated failure, frustration and condemnation which is a common problem amongst those wishing to please God.
Since the rebellion in the garden, all mankind have been born with a rebellious nature which is inclined to reject what is good and wise and choose what is evil and foolish.
"There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all gone out of the way; they have together become unprofitable; there is none who does good, no not one." (Romans 3:10-12)
There is coming a day soon when I will give an account of my life to Jesus Christ. This day is coming for you also. Paul, writing to believers in Rome, said,
“So then each of us shall give account of himself to God”.
