-Removed-Similar is the verse just before this. Mark 2:21, which says,
"No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse."
Jesus is saying that he didn't come to patch up an old system. One cannot take what he is teaching and patch it into the old ways. In fact, his ministry is something completely new, and as such, requires a new framework to contain it. Jesus didn't come to destroy the old, the law, but to fulfill it, just like an acorn is fulfilled when it grows into an oak tree. The acorn seems to be gone, but its purpose is fulfilled with something new.

Jesus is saying that he didn't come to patch up an old system. One cannot take what he is teaching and patch it into the old ways. In fact, his ministry ...[text shortened]... rows into an oak tree. The acorn seems to be gone, but its purpose is fulfilled with something new.
-Removed-I understand you thought it meant a way for you to slag off on some Christians here. That is, after all, what you do.
However, I assure you, the Bible has no idea of what you are claiming, and so, I think you'll find, if you look up some commentary from people who understand the Bible, that I'm right. Christian ways ARE the 'new ways'. The 'old ways' were what came before, notably, the jewish Mosaic model of retribution without salvation. As you know, "Jesus saves" (the 'new wine' ), but the Mosaic model doesn't include Jesus. It is the old wineskin.
No matter how much you want to jam your square peg into the round hole, and blame Christians.
