The Law couldn't pass away at the death of Christ as that would render God a liar and covenant breaker.
You are starting to sound like a Dispensationalist.
You are making Christ out to be a liar.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law. He said so in His own words.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
The New Covenant was fulfilled in Blood at Calvary.
Mat 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Joh 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
What was finished?
Our sin debt and the whole Old Covenant system, which was only a shadow of Christ.
He sat down when He went to be with the Father, because He had finished His work.
He did not stand up at the Father's right hand until 70 AD.
Mar_15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
The veil was not ripped in half in 70 AD.
It happened on the day of the Cross.
Gal 4:24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Gal 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Gal 4:27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Gal 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Gal 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Gal 4:30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Gal 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Paul made it clear that the inheritance did not come through the Old Covenant system, which he called a covenant of "bondage".
He said the law was put in place "until" the seed could come to whom the promise was made.
Gal 3:19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.
That same little word "till" is found in Matthew 5:18.
Paul put no confidence in the Old Covenant system.
Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Gal 5:2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.
Gal 5:3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.
Gal 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
The Cross was the fulfillment of the covenant promise given in Jeremiah 31:31-34.
Paul also made it clear that there was only one Gospel, not two.
Gal 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Gal 1:7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
