You can't have Christ saying on the one hand that the law will never lose authority (Luke 16:17) and on the other hand ending or abolishing it.

The law,can also mean the OT.No one wants the ot gone,but in the Ot,was a great word..
The just shall live by faith.
Speaking of Luke 16..
16 “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it.
Did Jesus fulfill the law,on the cross?
Why didn't paul,want the law taught to the church,tim was in charge of?

Here are a few of those scriptures which talk about the same things as Col.2{16}
Neh. 10:33
For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
Isaiah 1:13-14
Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. [14] Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
The scripture below has them in the same exact order as Col.2{16}
Ezekiel 45:17
And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
Hosea 2:11
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
1d) the end to which all things relate, the aim, purpose
It is the same word used in 1 Peter 1:9. Here the NIV translates 'telos' as 'goal.'
Peter is writing about the day Jesus Christ returns. We have not seen Him, but we have faith that He is. When He returns, we will see Him. We won't need faith then, We will see Him face to face. Who hopes to obtain what he already has? So Christ is the END of the law now, and will the END of faith then, when He returns.
In the sense of revealing its ultimate goal or purpose, certainly. Does that negate the Law? Hardly. It establishes it. Do we make the law void by our faith?
Hit me. I am not sure what you are talking about.
τέλος
From a primary tello (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly, the point aimed at as a limit, i.e. (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination (literally, figuratively or indefinitely), result (immediate, ultimate or prophetic), purpose); specially, an impost or levy (as paid) -- + continual, custom, end(-ing), finally, uttermost.
These things relate to finishing. Once I reach the city at the end of the highway, do I stay on the highway or do I enter the city?
The greek is better than the english, thanks for pointing that out and making my point even clearer. So I'll say it again, Romans 10:4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
So the righteousness can't come from the law, that is ended. It has to come from Christ.
Let's go everyday without a sabbath thread. Let's stop telling people that they need to keep the sabbath. Could we go a week without a sabbath thread?

Doesn't Communion point to 'the goal?' Why keep doing it if it has been fulfilled?
In communion we proclaim the Lord's death until He returns. He hasn't yet returned, so we keep doing it. We have faith that He will return.
If Passover is about the death of Jesus, how does this differ from communion? For believers, Passover is comemmoritive as well.

Using this definition of telos,
How do you translate Luke 1:33?
His kingdom will be without purpose?
