"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
Your protestations to the contrary are Pauline garbage. Paul is to Christ what Kathleen Kennedy is to Star Wars.
My better question is should we as Christians follow the law? I always felt that Christ’s fulfillment meant we are free from those rules. Granted I’m no theologian so any insight you have would be appreciated. I know he gave us the greatest commandment which covers everything I’d say
The next couple sentences in Matthew 5 pretty much kick that to the curb.
The back half of Matthew 5 is taking the Hebrew to task for being hypocrites. He never says the law is wrong. Just that they aren't living up to it, and then sets an EVEN HIGHER standard.
Read Romans
1213 and get back to me.E: daggumit, my memory was off. Both are good passages though.
Read it. Importantly points about loving one another.
My memory was a bit off. The bit about submitting to authority is in Romans 13, but both passages are good.
Most Christians take Jesus saying that nothing that goes into your mouth makes you unclean to mean cleanliness laws no longer apply. Even saying he wasn't abolishing the law, he changed the rules on divorce.
They aren't the Sermons, and calling Paul "the apostle" is like saying everyone at Lambeau deserves a superbowl ring for being really loud (which is basically all Paul was, figuratively).
You're wrong
In what way?
I only regard the Gospels as foundational. Everything after is fanfiction, as canonical as the Book of Mormon.
Remember: I AM QUAKER. From my perspective the Catholic church of Peter and Paul is itself a perversion of the original faith.
How many books got taken out by the roman catholic church when they standardized the bible? I don't see the book of enoch in there
I think the Ethiopian church is the only one that has Book of Enoch in it’s Bible
But how does that contribute to your argument that I'm wrong.
Christ's sermons in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke do not support the later Pauline assertion that Christ was the end of the law.
I am saying bluntly, your (like many) rejection of the majority of the Mitzvot is, well, blasphemous catholic hypocrisy. A marketing decision by a 1st century bullshit artist who called himself an apostle despite not being at the proverbial table.
