“We’re having prime rib for Thanksgiving this year....yum!”

For us it’s always Turkey for Thankgiving and for Christmas my Wife cooks up a Kosher Salt Encrusted Prime Rib - cooked Rare of course.

” “ENFORCE?” Boy, you can find biblical support for anything if you’re willing to change the text.”

I fully support english being the first language of the USA.

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”

Fufil;

1. To bring into actuality; effect: fulfilled their promises.
2.To carry out (an order, for example).
3.To measure up to; satisfy. See Synonyms at perform, satisfy.
4.To bring to an end; complete.

Ok, so long as you’ve now admitted to changing the text to suit your needs.

[Para-Ord.45]

” Ok, so long as you’ve now admitted to changing the text to suit your needs.”

Text substitution did NOT alter orignal meaning.

Now if only others would admit their ignorance of the

english language.

I'll remember that the next time I get a ticket from the local Parking Fulfillment officer. Or better yet, when I watch Clint Eastwood in, The Fulfiller.

[ThunderStruck94]

I am in Fallujah, KBR will probably do a great job tomorrow.....those evil bastards! ha ha ha

[HenpeckedCon]

This great-great... grandson of John Alden will be eating a few traditional Thanksgiving items like, kielbasa, stuffed mushrooms and deviled eggs. Yummy.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

That sounds awesome my family however would have a snit over no turkey.

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

I gotta ask...what else do you do with a Pig besides butcher it and eat it?

Use it to make more pigs?

I think I will get in touch with the Drug Fulfillment Agency. I need some prescription refills.

Do not suppose that I have come to do away with the law or the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, BUT TO ENFORCE THEM.”

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.

Fulfill - pleroo (Strong's Number G4137 matches the Greek πληρόω (plēroō). )

1) to make full, to fill up, i.e. to fill to the full a) to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally 1) I abound, I am liberally supplied 2) to render full, i.e. to complete a) to fill to the top: so that nothing shall be wanting to full measure, fill to the brim b) to consummate: a number 1) to make complete in every particular, to render perfect 2) to carry through to the end, to accomplish, carry out, (some undertaking) c) to carry into effect, bring to realisation, realise 1) of matters of duty: to perform, execute 2) of sayings, promises, prophecies, to bring to pass, ratify, accomplish 3) to fulfil, i.e. to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment

I’ll have one of those “swanels”. That’s a swan stuffed with an eagle stuffed with a crane. Delicious.

LOL! Don't let PETA know!

[tophat9000]

Well I head a few women say a man's live is not fulfilled till he marry... so...?

Guess in along the lines a man is not complete till he's married.... then he's finished

[mickey finn]

Thanks for your service. I hope KBR serves a great meal to all of you serving over in Iraq. You all deserve lobsters in my opinion.

[Surtur]

Unlike today, when we have refrigeration, hogs were only slaughtered after the weather turned consistently cold enough to keep the meat fresh until it could be processed for storage, e.g. brined, smoked, etc.. If the first Thanksgiving was held at this time of year, then the weather might not have been sufficiently cold enough to ensure the pork’s longevity. If so, butchering of hogs might have occurred after the thanksgiving festival when the weather turned colder.

[L,TOWM]

To bring to an end; complete.

Paul seems to think that this definition was the appropriate one (see Galatians).

I'll think I'll go with Paul on this one, not you.

[freepertoo]

Christ fulfilled the law. The law was established to tell us right from wrong. In order to be perfect with God, we must keep the law. No one CAN keep the law, however, so all stand condemned before God. Christ, who WAS able to fulfill the entire law (and the only one who has ever kept the law), paid the penalty for our sins, and therefore...he fulfilled the law, so we are no longer condemned under it.

This is the meaning of that text.

[Domandred]

Makes sense. I was thinking of all the times I’ve been to a hog roast and there wasn’t enough meat left to worry about preserving it.

[OB1kNOb]

Christ, who WAS able to fulfill the entire law (and the only one who has ever kept the law), paid the penalty for our sins, and therefore...he fulfilled the law, so we are no longer condemned under it.

"We" - meaning those of us saved by His grace through our faith and trust in Him. Agreed.

[Para-Ord.45]

” I’ll think I’ll go with Paul on this one, not you.”

I`ll go with the original meaning and not the “ mehh, the Bible, the Constitution, it is whatever i think it is” crowd.
