Bible Note: Hello again Tom: the last note cut me off as I went over the limit, so I will finish here, sorry. Ok: Now; having said all that; (see #183933) lets look at matt.5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." The NASB uses "abolish" instead of fulfill. I don't Know if this is a better translation. I am not an expert in greek by any means, but i think it might help us to understand what our Lord is saying. "Fulfill", "The law and the prophets", I hope we can agree that no one; other then our lord Jesus, ever could fulfill the law, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and, I hope we can agree that our Lord jesus, certainly fulfilled all of the prophesies that were written about Him in the OT. And, as under the new covenant, we, now no longer under the law, we are now filled with God's Spirit, born again, we now have the law (also a fulfillment of prophesy) written on the tablets of our hearts. Well thats all for now, I pray we can continue the discussion. peas stj |
