Luke 16:16This is ripping the verse out of its context. Try reading at verse 37 on down. You will notice that Jesus is also condemning their man made traditions. Jesus also calls them hypocrites. Nothing is stated here about how their obedience to God's laws as a part of salvation is condemned here. Jesus actually agreed with the lawyer on the truth that one must love God and love their neighbor as a part of inheriting eternal life (Luke 10:25-28). Jesus said to the rich young ruler that if he will enter into life, keep the commandments (See Matthew 19:17-19).
