I never said you should stop following the old testament. Even Jesus Christ quoted from the old testament to overcome temptation.
But then I gave you the perfect analogy.
If you are on a ten mile race, both the person on mile 2 and the person on mile one are both heading the same direction.
It doesn't make sense for the person on mile 2 to go back to mile one since he has already fulfill mile one.
So again to the verses I quoted. The law is a school master to lead you to Christ now Christ has fulfilled the law.
Now, we learnt earlier that both the old and new testament contains the word of God right.
You also need to learn that the house of God is orderly and not divided.
You seem to believe that there is a division between the Father's people and Jesus Christ's people. But this makes no sense. Remember, I and my Father are one.
There is no division. If you are a follower of the Father, you are most definitely a follower of the son.

So which of the old testament law can be categorized as 'mile one' according to you?

Christ has already answered and I have already shared that verse with you.
Matthew 5:17-20
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

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.

So is Jesus saying that we should still follow all the Old testament laws?

You clearly stated up here that the entire old testament has the word of God which is 'Jesus Christ'. And you said that those who follow the words of the prophets were actually following Christ.

So why should we stop following the old testament today that contains the law of moses and the prophets since it means following Christ?

Which of the laws of the old testament are we no longer to follow today?

So how many of the old testament laws are we to follow today since following them means following Christ?

Another simple way to look at it.

Do you agree that Jesus Christ is the Word of God?
If so, the entire old testament has the word of God and those who followed the words of the prophets were following the word of God (Jesus Christ)
This is the simplest way I can explain it to you.

I am not sure you understand anything I said.
But I will make it very easy for you.
Imagine you are on a ten mile journey,
Let's take the old testament as the first mile and the new testament as the second mile.
Now both the person in the first mile and the person in the second mile are all heading the same direction and to the same destination.
Now your last sentence, I have already answered or should I say Paul already answered, the law was a school master to lead us to Christ.
I gave you another verse that says Christ is the fulfillment of the law.
But scriptures clearly tell you that the law ultimately leads to Christ.
If you follow the law, it was meant to lead you to Christ and Christ was meant to lead you to the Father.
Now I did not write the scripture so the question should be, do you believe the word of God?
This isn't about what you nor I says, it's about what the scriptures teach.

Compare what you said here with what you said at the top.

Please explain why this question is important.
I have already taught you that
24. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
The only purpose of the law was to bring you to Christ.
Christ is the central purpose of the law of Moses.
The law is fulfilled in him.
The Jews who followed the law as their school master ended up in Christ.
How is that too hard for you to understand.
Now the law began with Moses but before the law, for example in the days of Abraham, what do you think christian worship was based on.

You claim here that the law led to Christ. But up there you said following the law itself meant following Christ. So there is actually nothing new about the new testament since People have always discovered Christ and has been following him from the old testament by following the law according to you.
