The basic answer is No, but it needs fuller explanation.

There are two kinds of Mosaic law, if you will, ceremonial (think regulations about how to dress and what to eat) and moral (e.g., the Ten Commandments). Jesus came to fulfill the Law, the moral law, which He did by his sinless life. He also took upon himself our penalty for breaking the moral law in His death on the cross. However, He did not come to replace or end the law of God. Therefore, the law continues in force (a commandment given as good by God continues to be good). We are encouraged by Jesus' example to follow the law as He did, and we are saved from the penalty for breaking it by His death.

What are the components of Mosaic law?

After the Exodus, when the Israelites left Egypt, the Lord gave Moses the Ten Commandments and numerous other laws (Exodus 19-40). This entire system of laws, called the Mosaic Law or simply the Law, provided the framework for the Israelite's relationships with God, with one another, and with the nations around them. The Mosaic Law is the central theme of the Books of Moses, or Torah. Christian teaching, particularly as developed by the Apostle Paul, shows that we can never keep the Law to God's satisfaction. Instead of the sacrifices required under the Mosaic Law, Jesus' death serves as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins once and for all.

In the Bible, it says that when Jesus died, the law died with Him...now most people believe that this was the 10 commandments but in fact it was the law of Moses that died with Jesus.....to explain, Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Moses' law was one that had people sacrificing animals to cleanse themselves from sin, but God sent Jesus to die for our sins so we no longer need Moses' law.
