Bible Note: I am interested this part of your post You post these: Let me post what Yeshua said in Matthew 5; 17 "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 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Anyone who breaks 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 practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. According to Yeshua, not one jot or tittle will pass from the law until heaven and earth are destroyed and that we are to teach them. My answer: Christ gave us the two commandments Mt 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mt 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mt 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Mt 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. My question here is: If you love God, what is it in the law did you disobey? If you love your neighbour as thyself what it is in the law did you disobey? You post this verse: 17 "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. My question to you is did Christ fulfill it or not? If you said yes! In what way? Did He fulfill it as what moses said? It is punishable by death if you do anything in the day of Sabbath, but Christ do healing and other things in sabbath: Mt 12:10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him Mt 12:1 At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. Did Christ disobey the law when He did those things Yes or No?, do anything in the day of sabbath is punishable by death! If you said Christ disobey the law by doing those things, He is imprudent of what He said in Matt, 5:17. If you said He did not disobey, then you agree that law can fulfill in the same way that Christ did. How about you, did you fulfill the law in what way? Are you fulfilling it like what moses taught? Take a look at this verse: Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. When you observed the law you must consistent to do it not part by part but all things including to it. My other question, did you kill you brother and sisters when you saw them do anything in sabbath day? If you really observe the law carefully you should stone them to death to follow what law said God bless, Johnny |
