Bible Note: Hello ovadyah, OK, you're doing it again, so let's cut to the heart of the matter. Christ is the fulfillment of the Law. (You have already agreed to this.) If he is the fulfillment, what is the point of keeping it except what has been explicitly directed to Christians in the epistles? Note that Paul was rather specific about what he wrote. How much of the Law is to be kept? Gentiles are not expected to live like Jews (see Galatians 2:11-14; Acts 15). What is your personal purpose for desiring to keep the Law? You have already said that it is not necessary for justification or sanctification. Are you doing it just because you can? Steve |
