Dear Christians

Well, Jesus said:
Matthew 5:17-20
New International Version (NIV)
The Fulfillment of the Law

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

And apparently "fulfill" is synonymous with abolish.

According to what I ahve heard, he "fulfilled" them when he died.
Matthew 27:50

50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
Mark 15:37

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
Luke 23:46

46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.
John 19:30

30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Apparently, when he said "It is finished" he meant that the laws had been fulfilled (basically null and void...but not abolished!). Though, heaven and earth did not disappear when he said that (was everything really finished?) And why did he only say that in one of the four versions?). At least, that is the interpretation some Christians have given me.
