I noticed you forgot to quote the whole post or at least the most important portion (in caps below for emphasis). Now, would you please reword your question to this statement? Thanks. Subject: Which one are we not going to keep? Note: I just remembered one more tidbit of explanation. Quoted from your post: Matthew 5:17-19 (ESV) "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 say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, WILL PASS FROM THE LAW UNTIL ALL IS ACCOMPLISHED. Here I would key in on the phrase "until all is accomplished." I've been taught to believe that this was Christ's mission: to come to the earth, live the Perfect Sinless Life and offer His body as a Sacrifice for our sins and take the OT with Him to His Grave. Thus upon accomplishing that great and noble deed, the OT no longer existed as far as God was concerned but Christ's Law of Liberty was executed in accordance with His Last Will and Testament on that day at Pentacost, Acts Chapter 2. So there's another question for you to reconcile with your position. If this is not what Christ meant with that phrase; what WAS to be accomplished and do away with the Law and the Prophets? Blessings to you. Country Girl |

It is important to note, and this is posted elsewhere, that many things have passed from the Law (much more, anyway, than a jot or tittle). There are no more sacrifices, there is no more observance of the traditional holidays, there is no longer tithe paid to the Levites, there is no selection of a high priest, no more scapegoat, circumcision, burning of incense, offerings of grain, rituals of purification following childbirth, nocturnal emission, leprosy etc. The list goes on... Any reconciliation MUST incorporate the fact that more than a jot or tittle has passed from the Law. Additionaly, do not casually dismiss Ephesians 2:15; it clearly states that the Law of commandments as well as the ordanances against us were abolished. Also consider Hebrews 8:13 "When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear." I would like to point out here that the word appearing in Mathew 5:17 [abolish] is not the same word present in Ephesians 2:15 [abolish]. In fact, the word present in Mathew is KATALUO, which translated is Demolish, Destroy, Disintegrate. The word in Ephesians is KATARGEO, which translated is "to render useless," Abolish. I assure you that Christ did not Destroy the Law, as it is the guideline by which all who DO NOT know Christ are judged. However, for those that are Christian, the Law is of no value: it is abolished. Paul says "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace" [Galatians 5:4], and again "I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" [Galatians 2:21], and again "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" [Romans 10:4] and again "Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God" [Romans 7:4]. |

Amen, brother! Cast out the bondwoman and her child, for the child of the bondwoman will not be heir with the child of the freewoman. Theo-Minor |
