>>This guy is a piece of work. Now it was the *law* as given by Moses that set for the death penalty for specific law breaking. Christ said he came NOT to change one jot or tittle (Matthew 5:18) of the law that means the law is still in effect.

Yes I know that many Christians claim the *law* was fulfilled but they are wrong.<<

That is intereting, because the Matthew 5: 17,18 actually says, "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. 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."

If these people are wrong, what do you suppose Jesus meant he was fulfilling?

Your translation does not quite capture what Christ said.

KJV.. Matthew 5:17 Think NOT that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am NOT come to destroy, but to fulfill.

So what laws were fulfilled in Christ coming?

18. For verily I say unto you. Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Do you know what it means that 'heaven and earth pass'?

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called last in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Now if you keep reading Christ says the law against 'murder' is still in effect, plus even added to be angry with a 'brother' without cause is danger of the judgment. Christ continues to list the law and what Christians are to do and not do.

His coming fulfilled the promise of a 'virgin shall conceive', etc. and his death fulfilled the requirement of a blood sacrifice for remission of 'sin' which is the transgression of law. Christ fulfill for one and all time that requirement of blood sacrifice, as he was the perfect sacrificial lamb.

Even after this in Matthew 22:35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked Him a question, tempting Him, and saying,

36 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"

37 Jesus said unto him, "Thou shall love the LORD they God with all thy heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment. (law)

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the LAW and the prophets.

Check out the Ten Commandments (LAW) and notice that the first five relate to the LOVING the LORD they God and the last five commandments relate to the loving thy neighbor.

Oh that one remember the Sabbath to keep it holy, well Sabbath means rest and Christ became our Sabbath, we are to rest in him every day not just one day of the week.
