Here is something that people do not believe has been fulfilled, yet in Matthew 5:17 which shows Jesus Christ speaking to His Disciples on the mount of Olives, which Jesus Christ was teaching about the Beatitudes; Salt and light, and fulfillment of the Law, Anger and Reconciliation, Adultery, Divorce, Oaths and Vows, and to Love your Enemies.

Now these are all things that Jesus Christ taught to His disciples and we have an account about the Truth that Jesus Christ had spoken to them; which as people who read the bible today, and look at, read, question, ponder, apply the lessons into our life living by the spirit.

My questions is when it comes down to Matthew 5:17 “Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. / 'Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil; / "Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true. / Do not think that I have come to revoke The Written Law or The Prophets; I am not come to revoke but to fulfill.

Here are several different translation.

Was Jesus Christ a liar? When He was teaching these things to his disciples, was he tricking them and deceiving them to believe something that was not true? These are real authentic questions, because If Jesus Christ never came and had fulfilled the law; we should stop following the Lord Jesus Christ and revert to trying to please God by living the Law of Moses, and sacrifice animals again for our sins.

Jesus came to fulfill the Law and to make the teachings of the prophets come true. His coming was a guarantee that their prophecies-for example-concerning him and the restoration of paradise on earth would be fulfilled. Since he fulfilled the Law, it was no longer binding between the Jewish nation and God Almighty. Here are just a few supporting scriptures-not inclusive: Psalms 37:11, 29; Isaiah 9:6, 7; 11:1-10; 45:18; Daniel 2:34, 35, 44, 45; 7:13, 14.

The ceremonial law was fulfilled in Christ. He also taught that love was the fulfilling of the Law. I think what He meant by this is that the commandments cannot be kept truly just by reading and obeying--if we have love for our fellow man, as well as love for the Lord, we will keep them, not because we have to, but because we love them.

Roman 13:8-13 "8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.

10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law."


There is a huge difference between keeping out just because we read them than because we love. That is how all men will know we are His disciples"

John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

Your reasoning is human. I can’t help but believe your question about if Christ lied or not is from the pit of hell. The words Christ spoke were not his own but the words the Father gave him to speak. So in essence you are saying God lied. Is this what your saying?

Greetings,

That is a fair question and when you observe the history of the hewbrew people in the 1st covenant and follow their journey eventually God says through the prophet Isaiah.

That he will make a new and better covenant with his people and said he will send them their Messiah then he gives them prophecies and signs to recognize the Messiah.

The 2nd covenant commences with the birth of Jesus and eventually Jesus begins his ministry, and starts preaching and teaching to the people.

When hes teaching on Matthew 5:17 he reminds the people of the OT law and clarifies that it is not his intention to disregard the foundation of what they have been taught and practiced.

But that it is his intention to teach them the transition from the OT covenant practices of law to the NT covenant practices of grace hence fulfilling God’s plan prophecies and the continuation and transition from OT teachings to the NT teachings.

NT converts of grace cannot use OT practices of law to be justified before God.

Jesus the lamb of God become the sacrifice to justify man through faith fulfilling what the OT law could not do.

But needed the NT covenant to complete on its behalf.

The OT is the foundation and the NT is the completion, they both compliment each other.

I hope this helped.

Peace
