Xtians are cherry-picking assholes....as exemplified right above.
Their boy, jesus supposedly said:
Quote:(Verse 17) 'Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfil.
(Verse 18) For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
(Verse 19) Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:17-19 - NKJV).
which is EXACTLY what I said in the "above" post.
Christ Made it impossible to obtain righteousness by observing the Law! Read your bible quote again. Because of what was said there not only is it now a sin to do sinful things, it is a sin to harbor them in your heart even for a moment.
That is what is meant thought the Full Fillment of the Law!!! Why would He do this? So Everyone would be convicted as a sinner, and no one could claim that they could be with out sin. "For ALL Have Sinned And Fallen Short Of The Glory Of God." So if one sin is enough to condemn you and if everyone is guilty of at least one sin then we all have no choice but to seek atonement for our sin, rather than to legalistically/foolishly try and up hold the law.
We up hold the Law because this is the will of our Father and we wish to show our love and appreciation for Him, not because we are trying to earn our way to heaven.
