WHAT WAS JESUS ATTITUDE TOWARD THE LAW OF MOSES MATTHEW 5:17-20 |

2 | WHAT WAS JESUS ATTITUDE | Matt 5:17 | Searcher56 | 22053 | ||
Scripture ... Isa 33:22, Matt 5:17ff, Jam 4:12 ... Do not YELL - you do when you use UPPERCASE. Plus, it is harder to read. dltlshines, Starting in Matthew 5:17 -He did not come to dissolve or disunite (kataluo in the Greek) the Law or the Prophets. -He came to render full, i.e., to complete (pleroo) the Law by giving it a deeper meaning. He was the Lawgiver (Isa 33:22, Jam 4:12) He said the Law wouldn't pass away or change (vv 18-20) ... but He was against the hypocritical external legalism of the Pharisees (5:21 ff). Searcher PS Do not YELL |

Searcher: You write: "He said the Law wouldn't pass away or change (vv 18-20)..." With all due respect, sir, may I complete the quote as it appears in the text of the Bible and then comment on it? Matthew 5:18 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law TILL ALL IS FULFILLED." (Emphasis added, NKJV) The law was fulfilled in Christ. "Yet not one jot or tittle is thereby erased; the underlying truths of those Scriptures remain -- and in fact the mysteries behind them are now revealed in the brighter light of the gospel. They have not passed from the law is the sense Jesus means here" (Page 1400, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |

4 | WHAT WAS JESUS ATTITUDE | Matt 5:17 | Searcher56 | 22085 | ||
Scripture ... Matthew 5:17-18 ... kalos, there are two tills in this verse. his first is "till heaven and earth pass away" ... the second is "until all is fulfilled." This means both need to occur for the Law to have one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from it. Ginomai is the word for fulfilled, which is not the same as the word (pleroo) in verse 17. This verse does not say He fulfilled the Law. I see John MacArthur agreeing with me. He does not say "the law was fulfilled in Christ." Searcher |

5 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | kalos | 22089 | ||
Searcher56: You have been doing some very good research lately and I wish to commend you for it. I have no wish to be argumentative here. I merely need some clarification of your previous post. You write: "This means both need to occur for the Law to have one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from it." I am not clear at all as to what this sentence means. Would you clarify, please? You write: "This verse does not say He fulfilled the Law. I see John MacArthur agreeing with me. He does not say 'the law was fulfilled in Christ.'" I know what John MacArthur means. I have his book right here in front of me. What I do not understand is this: In the above quote by you, are you saying that Christ did not fulfill the law? If that is your meaning, would you care to comment and expand upon that? Can you show us plain and clear verses of Scripture to support the idea that CHRIST DID NOT FULFILL THE LAW, if indeed that is your meaning here? If not, what do you mean when you write: "This verse does not say He fulfilled the Law. I see John MacArthur agreeing with me. He does not say 'the law was fulfilled in Christ.'?" Thank you for your reply. Again please note, I am not saying that you are wrong. I cannot even determine that until I clearly understand what it is you are saying. |

6 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | casiv | 22104 | ||
Kalos, It means every time you put somebody down and make fun of them it is being accounted for and you or whoever will be held accountable before the judgement seat of Christ. Hope this helps. Matt 5:17 - Think it not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Matt 5:18 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matt 5:19 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men, so he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. I hope this helps you understand how important forgiveness and apologies are to yourself and those who we have offended. And that all is accounted for, all words whether written, spoken or thought. Good luck in your choice of freewill. |

7 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | Radioman | 22106 | ||
casiv: You are correct. I agree with you regarding freewill, putting somebody down and Matthew 5:17-19 -- the three subjects all go together like a horse and carriage. To answer your previous post, I can only say: I give up. Why did the chicken cross the road? (If you don't know the answer, it's OK to ask Puppetmaster.) Radioman |
