Old testaments are very conventional.They say old laws. Jesus Christ tried to discover the wrong path of old laws and He tried to show a new way. What do you say?

The Lord Jesus did not come to correct the wrong path of old laws but He came to fulfill the law and that is in the New Testament. The Old Testament way of worship was solely for the Israelites the chosen people of God. When the Lord was born we sing Joy to the world the Lord has come... There was no forgiveness of sins before for the Gentiles (people not Israelites) and so God sent His Son to take away the sin of the world. There is now forgiveness to all people. The Christians now are the chosen people of God.

I personally think that Jesus tried to fulfill the old law,as you have said, to fit in the new testament law.You see Jesus taught the apostles to love not only your relatives and friends,but also your enemy.He is trying to infuse love,as a new law although it is not new,because love is the reason why we are created.I'm saying in the old testament there is a law;an eye for an eye,and a tooth for a tooth,while in the new testament Jesus says love your neighbor as well as your enemy.

The Lord Jesus said I came not to destroy the law but to fulfill. The Old Testament perfected nothing. It is worship which is in effect amended as we do not do now which things were done by the Israelites.

Jesus Christ did not "tried to discover the wrong path of old laws" because the old laws are true and just for the people of the old but Jesus Christ came to make it more easier for people to be closer to God...thru him. in fact the old laws where only revised by Jesus to make it simplier,since all commandment revolved around love he made simple.love the lord you God,with all you heart,soul,and with all your might...you have to give to God everything...and love you neighbor...its a s simple as that.
