My pastor tonight noted that Christ did not come to destroy the law (OT), but to fulfill it!

"My pastor tonight noted that Christ did not come to destroy the law (OT), but to fulfill it!"

"Destroy" is the correct rendering of the Greek in that passage in Matthew. The meaning of the word is to tear down or disassemble. (New wine in old bottles.) He did not come to amend the old law. He did abolish it! Eph 2:14, Col 2:14, all of the Hebrews letter.
