1 | Abolish or fulfill? Which one? | Matt 5:17 | kalos | 115347 | ||
Christ is the GOAL of the law -- not the END (termination, abolition) of it. ____________________ "Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua (Jesus) at his first coming fulfilled the Torah (Law), so that we don't have to do so (THE LOGIC LEADING TO THIS CONCLUSION IS UNCLEAR);..." ____________________ "For sin will not have authority over you; because you are not under legalism but under grace." Romans 6:14 (Complete Jewish Bible, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1998) "For the goal at which the Torah (Law) aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts." Romans 10:4 (CJB) '"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17 'Replacement theology likewise understands that Yeshua at his first coming fulfilled the Torah, so that we don't have to do so (the logic leading to this conclusion is unclear);... 'But the word usually translated "fulfill", Greek pleroo, does not necessarily convey this specific sense. Rather, it is a very common word which simply means "fill", "fill up", "make full", as in filling a cup or a hole. It should be evident that the actual meaning is as rendered in the Jewish New Testament: "Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete" -- that is, to "make full" the meaning of what the Torah and the ethical demands of the Prophets require. In fact, this verse, so understood, states the theme of the entire Sermon on the Mount -- in which six times the Messiah says, "you have heard of old time" the incomplete meaning or a distortion, "but I say to you" the complete, full spiritual sense to be understood and obeyed.' (David H. Stern, "Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel", 1988, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc.) matt517 |

Colin: Good news! The online text of The Complete Jewish Bible (David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1998) is now available for reading, searching, and quoting at (http://bible.crosswalk.com/). They've currently included ONLY the first five books of the Old Testament, and the Gospels, but more will be added later. So you have the opportunity to sample it online. I love the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB). I'm excited about it! The translator, Dr. David Stern, has written several other books, two of which I have recently purchased. They are "Messianic Jewish Manifesto" and "Jewish New Testament Commentary" (JNTC). The author intended that the CJB be a companion volume to the JNTC. However, the Bible can be read, studied and enjoyed with or without the commentary. In the CJB the 55-page Introduction is packed with information that is a pleasure to read. In my personal library I have approximately 24 different Bible versions in print (as opposed to available online). No other translation does what the CJB does. It is the only English version fully Jewish in style and presentation. To quote from the copy on the back cover, "The Complete Jewish Bible - reconnects Christians with their Jewish roots and the Jewish people - connects Jews with the Jewishness of Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus) and Messianic faith" I use the CJB, as well as the JNTC commentary, every day. As you've probably noticed, I've been quoting this Bible version on the Forum. You can read customer (real people) reviews of both the Bible and the commentary at Amazon.com. I heartily recommend the CJB. Check it out at the website (http://bible.crosswalk.com/) and see what you think. Grace and shalom, kalos |

Kalos, That's a tame endorsement. I'm going to buy the whole shebang (sans manifesto) on your say so! Have you checked out the Ignatius Study Bible, by the way? Emmaus turned me on to it. It is great. There's a gold mine across the Tiber. Colin |
