17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Yes. Jesus did fulfill the law. Nothing from the law passed away until he fulfilled it. The law has now been fulfilled.
Romans 7:6English Standard Version (ESV)
6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
How can you say that all has been fulfilled? Has Jesus fulfilled the prophesy of the second coming? Is it all done, and we are now with God, or in hell? And has heaven and earth passed away yet? Do you just ignore those bits? Why did Jesus mention heaven and earth passing? Was he just joking, and not to be taken seriously in what he stated?
