When asked about a religious practice (fasting), why does Jesus describe how old and new may not be compatible?

Matthew 23:19 19You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? The example of fasting given here in the question is one of many examples of the rules and regulation, that were demanded by GOD yahweh of his people to follow.so the israelites were asked by God to follow certain rules so as to be able to come before God & be acceptable to Gods holyness.in pr-calvary to be holy and arighetous& dwell with God meant to follow those rules which was something impossible to do , where as after the coming of christ & after calvary the whole redemption of sin had passed away from physical acts and blind obedience to the precious gift of faith.Faith in the blessed holy sacrificial blood of jesus christ which was shed for mankind once and for all .So the old ways and the new ways are incompatible in the fact that where as in the old testament mankind had to slave blindly for the redemption of his sin and the eternal life promised by God to all, after calvary , we had that free gift of just accepting jesus as our lord and saviour for our salvation.the old ways being temporary acts where as the new ways were permanent

What is the Kingdom of God?

The Kingdom of God doesn`t come with observation, but it is within the people, it is a place of love, peace, and justice, only through understanding can be approached, such as a innocent child can enter, of spiritual rebirth, and doing the will of God. No earthly thing that rots can enter into the kingdom of GOD, We should all look to JESUS Christ as he holds the path/ Gateway to the Kingdom of GOD. The kingdom of God is peopled by the righteous and Just.from the lesson reading I understand that we have all been ignorant and overlooked time as God has declared to the world through Jesus Christ that all people everywhere should repent, He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through Jesus Christ whom He has appointed as his Only Son, having furnished proof to all people by raising Him from the dead. Judgement will come to the living and the dead. God reveals through Jesus Christ, is that we all live as brothers and sisters, as sons and daughters of God mentioned in the bible ''Is 2:2-5, Is 11:6-9, Is 40:4-5, Eph 1:3, 9-10''. Only by being in tune with God`s intention will we ever know true fulfillment or happiness in this life. Prayer, discernment and knowledge of God`s revealed Word are needed to discover how one can be in tune with God`s intention.

According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God?

God loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, and that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. God does not want his children to be throw into the fire. GOD is HOLY where sin can never be, so like to GOD we are to be. which is why he sent sent his only Son into the world not to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
