Lets see what Wikipedia says.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_5:18
""Until all things are accomplished" is also the subject of controversy. It is uncertain what all is referring to and how it will be accomplished. France lists three interpretations: until the end of the world, until all the requirements of the Law are met, until the arrival of the messiah. The three interpretations all imply very different understandings of how absolute Mosaic law is for Christians in the current era (see also antinomianism)"
I think Paul got the idea. So we can cherry pick our version from it of what Jesus ment. Man ain't philosophy great
Wiki also gives us a footnote to that section and...what a surprise...it is from a book written by R. T. France. Who was R. T. France you may ask?
Wiki tells us that also:
Quote:Richard Thomas France (2 April 1938 – 10 February 2012) was a New Testament scholar and Anglican cleric.[1][2] He was Principal of Wycliffe Hall Oxford from 1989 to 1995. He also worked for the London School of Theology.
In other words, an apologist. A guy who tries to muddy the waters of very clear language for so he can make up excuses for why his god is such a two-bit fucking phony.
