Please explain.
Explain? Not that I haven't already, but for Fuck's sake! Imagine a big sucking sound, that's me inhaling the nitrogen laden gaseous body we call air in order to get the next paragraph out in a single breathe.
A jewish minx fucks around on her fiance, needs a good alibi and tells Joseph that God knocked her up. Joseph looked around and realized that his aunts and uncles could only produce males; therefore, no ass in the immediate future (my take on proceedings, Joseph isn't so gullible to believe the God bullshit so my version is likely closer to the truth). They travel on an ass to a census that never took place in order to stay at the only accomodations that Joseph could afford. Jesus was thrust into the world and immediately got swept off to Egypt to avoid a toddler purge that also never took place. Thirty years later Jesus shows back up spouting inane bullshit in order to keep himself alive; trades food and drink for story...he's a tiresome bard. He also collects a bunch of losers that the good folk also have to feed. Sounds like Joseph Smith, but I digress. Jesus has some good ideas, but tells everyone that not a law will change until the Earth disappears (his words, not mine). Fulfill doesn't mean complete or satisfy, particularly in light of Isaiah, nor what Christ is purported to have claimed. It's not until Paul that ignoring the rules is acceptable in the growing Church.
Whew! In short, you have the option of following Christ or Paul. The contradiction is plain, choose one.
