If it's all the same to you, I'd rather not think of Jesus that way. The role of the judge is not to enact law from the bench. We call that judicial activism, and it is a major force for anarchy. Not good. As an attorney, the last thing I want is to stand before a judge who makes it up as he goes along.

Context; Heaven is not a democracy, nor a republic. I already posted the scripture that shows Moses' prophecy and that the Prophet to come would speak God's words, so yes, He can legislate from the bench.

It’s your analogy. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Jesus didn’t come to alter the law from the bench, but to fulfill it. Moses’ prophecy doesn’t say anything about the coming prophet improving the law.

Peace,

Then you are forced into the corner of denying Jesus' own words.

Matthew 5:17-18 "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. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished."

Christ did not change the Law either. There is no law that can give eternal life.

Galatians 3:21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.
