Bible Note: The post you are answering is one of those I wish I could take back because I didn't say it right. :) Jesus didn't "change" the law of God. He simply explained the various laws from God's perspective. If we look at each "law", our human perspective reads what is on the page, whereas if we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us -- we are taught God's "understanding" of His law... which has much more depth. And that's what I meant by "change"... the law itself has not changed, but it is given more depth of understanding and therefore is "different" than a simple "thou shalt not..." type thing. I'm probably botching this up even worse this time. :):) |
