Bible Note: "Matthew 22:37-40 is where haMashiach reduces Law and the Prophets." Jesus in no way "reduces" the law and the prophets. In standard English we would say He "summarizes" the law and the prophets. Summarizes, not reduces. Jesus never reduces, trivializes, does away with or undoes the law. Take your own advice and don't read into the passage something that is not there. |
