Forgot to add this one as well. Exo 31:14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exo 31:15 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death.
Well now, I’m wondering whether I shouldn’t have clarified my post after reading yours!
As a Catholic, I still want to say that He didn’t necessarily change the OT but gave it further understanding/clarification. For example, when Christ “worked” on the Sabbath He was showing that it wasn’t black and white....that work on the Sabbath to help others/to show mercy to others is not what God forbids. Also He did this to show that HE WAS GOD and that the Sabbath was made for man, not for God. These apparent contradictions always point to something greater (including His Blood in John 6).
Having said all of that, I would much rather get the official Catholic teaching on whether Christ changed OT rather than going by what any individual Catholic (myself or someone else) might think is true teaching. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I think I remember ... “ He fulfilled the law; He did not abolish it”.
