"17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Can we agree that the above meets your subjective, personal criteria to be considered a "Teaching of Jesus"?
One question, one simple answer, nothing else but the simplest and most direct answer will survive moderation.
A second simple question with an equally simple answer.
Can we agree that Jesus was referring to something specific when He referred to the Law and the Prophets?

Does for me!

Yes. That IS a literal teaching of Jesus.
What do you imagine it means?
Are you simply incapable of answering a simple direct question in a simple direct manner?
What I imagine it means, is irrelevant. What Jesus was trying to communicate, seems more relevant.
