Refuting Christians with their Own Bible

[SteveII]

---

Since it is quite clear you think you understand the meaning, what do you think "fulfill" means?

I think that Jesus meant that he had come to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies and thus validate the law, rather than refuting the law and replacing it with a new doctrine.

Nope. His death fulfilled the requirements of the law. The law could never ever be fully followed and was therefore a reminder that we do not measure up to God (never righteous before God). His death provided a way that we could be righteous before God. Heaven and earth did not pass away before it was fulfilled (his death).
