Reply #25: i forget where -- but jesus talks about [View All]

[xchrom]

following the letter of the law is dead -- but that his sacrifise -- part of god's purpose is to bring a new spirit -- i.e. it's the spirit of the law that becomes important -- not the letter.

jesus is confronting the fundamentalism of his time.

i.e. jesus touches lepers -- nothing could have more against mosaic law that -- nothing.
jesus raises life from the dead.

jesus proclaims the first two commandments as paramount.


the old law IS broken -- it's the spirit of christ that comes with the holy spirit that is the fullfilment.
