"Not an iota...will pass from the Law." Country Girl: I am glad to hear you say we should comply with or obey all the commands of the NT, including those nine commandments carried over from the OT. Not one word of the Bible is disposable. I do not see any portion of the NT as disposable. Neither do I see any portion of the OT as disposable. Jesus said: "not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law." 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. [19] Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Grace to you, kalos |

Til heaven and earth pass, not one jot or tittle will pass from the law until all is fulfilled. The sacrifices passed from the law, so we must assume that either heaven and earth passed away, or that phrase is figurative, similar to, "unless hell freezes over." Because something has passed from the law, we must also assume that it has all been fulfilled. In addition, he may not have come to abolish the law, but according to Eph 2:15, that's exactly what he did. "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace ..." Paul also says that we are no longer under the law. See Galatians. Five out of six chapters directly address the fact that we are not under "law," whether the Old, or new ones created by men that are mere shadows of the Old. The "commands" we have in the NT are directly to the purpose of love. "The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart, clear conscience, and sincere faith." (1 Tim 1:5) Theo-Minor |

"the enmity occasioned by the Torah" Ephesians 2:15 (The Complete Jewish Bible) by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah, with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom, 'What is the grammatical significance of Sha'ul's (Paul's) placing "the Torah" in apposition with "the enmity"? If he means that the enmity is identical with the Torah, then when Yeshua (Jesus) abolished the enmity, he necessarily abolished the Torah too, in contradiction with his own statement at Mt 5:17. This makes little sense; and in fact, no one seriously considers the Torah to be enmity. ...although the Torah is itself "holy" (Ro 7:12), it occasions sin (in this case enmity between Jews and Gentiles) by stimulating the people's sinful propensities.' ____________________ (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). |
