1 | Is the Law abolished? | Matt 5:17 | kalos | 137696 | ||
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.) |

I like your answer and agree (My other comments on this not withstanding.) On our other thread I think I just got sarcastic and a bit upset with your comments, so in this thread I will appologize and I have noted that you certainly understand more of what I am saying than your posts to me have led on. (I read your Bio.) God bless, Marvin |

Marvin: Your apology is accepted, but not needed. I apologize for not being more careful to fully explain my position, the main points of which I have previously posted on the Forum. Grace to you, John |
