Actually the word is not abolish but kill...To kill the law meant to interpret it incorrectly...To fulfill meant to interpret it correctly...
I would agree with this. It was never intended to be a set of rules but the law of life, but being wrongly interpreted, that which was meant for our good became a letter that kills.
Behind every single law of Moses is the hidden true law of grace.
Laws of Oxen.
1 Corinthians 9
Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? 9For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 10Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
The laws of marriage are only to show our marriage to God, the laws of slavery only show us our relationship with God.
Behind each law is a truth that needs to be found and written down and one would know the law.
Sacrifice never ended, but we became the sacrifice, Jesus death means nothing in dying for a person unless that person also dies and sacrifices his life for Christ. We die daily as a sacrifice so that Christ can live.

The True Law that God gave to Moses is what Jesus Christ teaches us in the Gospel. All the commandments of the Gospel are merciful. And this is the true grace: mercy.
Therefore, all the commandments that Jesus Christ teaches us in the Gospel are merciful.
Grace does not cancel the commandments of Jesus Christ, because being in Grace is to keep the commandments of Jesus Christ.
The letters attributed to Paul said that we are not under law but under grace. And what is be under grace?
Being under grace is to be under the mercy of God, which is equal to being under the merciful commandments that Jesus teaches us in the Gospel.
The True Law that God gave to Moses is what Jesus Christ teaches us in the Gospel. All the commandments of the Gospel are merciful. And this is the true grace: mercy.
The early Christians had the commandments of Jesus Christ.
And the commandments of Jesus Christ send mercy and forgiveness for all ... NOT KILL ...

You are wrong, because you call "Law of Moses" to the Jewish laws of the Old Testament containing many precepts of men that Jesus Christ abolished ...

You do not understand what I'm saying. Do not you understand that the law that was actually given to Moses are the commandments that Jesus taught us in the Gospel? And the commandments of the Gospel is the law of the grace, because grace is mercy and all the commandments of Jesus are merciful. And these are the commandments that God had actually given to Moses.
After Moses, the scribes changed the law of God into a lie, as the prophet Jeremiah says:
"How is it that you 'say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false." (Jer 8: 8)
And then Jesus came to teach us the law that really had been given to Moses. That is why the apostle John says that the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ because God gave the law to Moses but the scribes changed the law of God, and Jesus Christ came to teach the true Law and the true commandments of God, which are the Law of grace.
I would agree with this. It was never intended to be a set of rules but the law of life, but being wrongly interpreted, that which was meant for our good became a letter that kills.
The problem is that God gave the world a law of life and Jewish scribes changed the law ...

The prophets say that the false pen of the scribes had changed the law. And Jesus, when he preached the Gospel, abolished many precepts of the Old Testament, and abolished them because those precepts were not of God.
If you want to know some precepts of the Old Testament that Jesus Christ abolished, you can see the Gospel:
Jesus abolished many laws of the Old Testament, and to verify this, you can read the following quotes from the Gospel:
Matthew 5:31-48, Matthew 12:1-8, Matthew 20:25-28, John 5:8-11, John 5:16-18, John 8:3-11 and the whole context of the Gospel.
The Mosaic covenant and law were given by God, but after the years and centuries, the prophets tell us that the scribes changed the law of God. So tell us the prophets:
"...but my people know not the ordinance of the LORD. "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie". (Jeremiah 8:7-8)
"Woe to those who give wicked laws and scribes who write tyrannical prescriptions to set aside the poor and violate the rights of the underdog of my people, to rob widows and orphans" (Isaiah 10.1 -2)
"And the land is defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the commandments, broken the everlasting covenant" (Isaiah 24: 5-6).
"He says, therefore, the Lord: Because this people draw near me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which have been taught" (Isaiah 29.13).
And Jesus Christ, remembering the words of the prophet Isaiah, also told the scribes and Pharisees who were teaching the commandments of men:
"Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
This people honors me with their lips;
But their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me,
Teaching for doctrines commandments of men" (Matthew 15.7-9

Paul spoke of the mercy that Christians should have with each other. Paul also spoke of bringing a sister woman with him, like the other apostles.

God does not want sacrifices, and God not commanded sacrifices. Jesus Christ was killed but He did not want to die.
Jesus sweated blood when he knew they were going to crucify.
Jesus allowed everything happen for us could see that the Jews were wrong.
Jews imposed death sentences ... but God did not want death penalty ... Jesus wanted forgiveness and mercy for all.
