This isn't a trick question. In post 11,121 you wrote: "Finished" to me means that he completed that which He came to accomplish; to fulfill the Law

This is not a trick answer. I am simply repeating what's in the Bible without reading into it. To me it means what it says: "I did not come to abolish but to fulfill the Law or the Prophets."

For the fourth time, what was the Law that Christ fulfilled?.

Get to the point. You know which Law He was referring to. As to what was the Law implying about Jesus, if anything, that depends on who's reading the Bible.

Kosta, you were the one who made the statement Christ came "to fulfill the law." We have agreed Christ speaks of this in Matthew 5:17.

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." -- Matthew 5:17
I have asked you FIVE times what did the Law say that Christ fulfilled.

I would have thought the EO would know what the law demanded which Christ fulfilled. If I was a seeker looking to understand what your faith offers and came to Matthew 5:17 which seems to be at the center of the Gospel message, I would certainly expect an Eastern Orthodox adherent to give a cogent statement as to what the law said which Christ declared He fulfilled.

Specifically, what did the law say which Christ fulfilled?
