Bible Note: Steve and John (and others?), Once I re-track down the apparently elusive source for this interpretation, I will get back to this thread and see if anything makes more sense. I think the fear is that if my interpretation is correct, that it therefore diminishes a Christian teaching or possibly a Doctrine. But I would not fear this (in case anyone has been) because the common interpretations for Matt 5:17—that Messiah Jesus was the "end of" the Law [Torah], meaning the purpose of and what the Prophets were pointing to—is made in many other places within the New Testament, not just here. But, like I said, we should get back to this once I find the source and shed some more light on the topic. Marvin |
