You either take these Laws literally, or you don't. You're either following what god told you to do, or you're not. It's really very simple.
Okay please explain to me what Jesus meant by fulfilling it? He provides example of fulfilling the law, when he takes the OT instruction of an eye for an eye, and transforms into turn the other cheek? How does the latter fulfill the former?
If the laws were unfulfilled before, what does Christ mean by fulfilling them?
Now you're attempting to change the argument here. Stay on point. "Oh! But I am staying on point!"
No you're not. That the Bible has glaring contradictions in it means nothing. I'm not repeating myself anymore.
Besides, turning the cheek may not mean literal pacifism. But even if it does, so what if the Bible contradicts itself? What's new?
edit:
To your second post, that the Bible has glaring contradictions in it, means little.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
