I know this isn't going to be popular but "hear me out" for a moment. I remember as a young Christian trying to defend some of the actions of Christ that were contrary to what the Pharisees claimed were blaspheme. They often claimed that Christ broke the "law of Moses". Which He did. However, Christ was never bound by the law of Moses. Never.

This in no way is an attempt to show Christ sinful. He is ABOVE sin. Impeccable and perfect. However, He did not become the perfect sacrifice for sin because He keep the law of Moses. He TOOK the penalty of the law and was judged for our sins. The approval of the Sacrificial offering of Jesus Christ was solely at the discretion of God the Father. It is the nature of Divinity with Christ Jesus that meet the requirement of God. Literally God Incarnate dying for mankind. Not an adherence to the law of Moses.

Furthermore, it has NEVER been a requirement for the "Lawgiver" to adhere to the law that He gives to those subject to Him. The LawGiver has right sand privileges not afforded to the subject of any law.

Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine;

John 16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine:

( what a wonderful proof of the Divinity of Jesus Christ. )

This is one of the reasons that Calvinism has such a hard time actually understanding Romans 9. Romans 9 isn't establishing their view of God's choice in them. It is setting forth God's choice in Himself. The work of Jesus Christ.

Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Rom 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

There are other examples but I ask of you. Show me how Jesus didn't break the law of Moses by claiming to be God.

In Luke 2:21, Jesus was circumcised on the eight day as a member of the Mosaic Covenant. In Galatians 4:4, Jesus was born under the law, so he was obligated to obey it, and he was sinless, so he never broke it. It is by the Law of Moses that we have knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20), so to claim that Jesus broke it is to claim that he sinned and therefore to deny that he is our Savior. Even if Jesus hadn't been born under the law and obligated to obey it, then he still would have lived in perfect accordance with it because he would have still had the same nature. However, if Jesus was not under the law and free to break it without counting as sin, then that would rob all significance of him being sinless. The Mosaic Law describes the nature of the way that God acts, such as in 1 Peter, it instructs to be holy as God is holy, not something external to God that restricts His behavior.

There are other examples but I ask of you. Show me how Jesus didn't break the law of Moses by claiming to be God.
First show me where the Mosaic Law says that it is a sin to claim to be God. The problem with idolatry is that it misrepresents the nature of God, so if Jesus had been anything less than the exact image of God's nature, then worshiping Him as God would have been idolatry, but I see nothing in the Law of Moses that states that it would be a sin for Jesus to claim to be God.
 
I don't think Jesus broke the Law of Moses, just some wrong interpretations of it.

I think he perfectly fulfilled it.
