When Jesus said, “I did not come to destroy the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill,” He did not mean that the Law and the Prophets were ended or made useless. He meant that He came to complete them, to bring out their full meaning, and to show what they were truly pointing toward.
That is what you say. Jesus said differently. Learn what fulfill means in the original.
Jesus did not throw away the Law or replace it. He brought it to life! He taught it with mercy, love, and truth. He corrected those like the Pharisees who followed the rules but missed the purpose behind them. He taught that we are to follow God’s commands not with cold obedience, but with a heart full of compassion and love.
No He did not throw them away. He fulfilled their requirements

As Paul said:

Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Romans 4:15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Galatians 3:

King James Version

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

The Law was the basis for what has become operative.


The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.



Proverbs 4:7
In the OT but as Paul said in Gal 3:

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

7 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

The Law has been fulfilled and rendered in operative now that faith is come. this is wisdom.

Jesus said the law would never pass, do you agree with this?

He said ti would not pass until all be fulfilled. He did say that His words would last forfever.

So i fyou believe Jesus said the law is eternal then based on the writings of Paul, you call Paul a liar.

Matthew 5:17-18

17Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish, but to fulfill.

this means clearly the law is not abolished!!

18For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth shall pass away, not even one iota, nor one stroke of a letter, shall pass away from the law, until everything should happen.

"until heaven and earth shall pass away," they are still present both of them
"Until everything should happen" this has not happened yet

so the law remains until then, still VALID!

When Jesus says that not even the smallest part of the law will pass away, He’s affirming that the law’s moral and spiritual authority is eternal and will be in place until all things are completed. He doesn't mean that we are bound to every single Old Testament law in a legalistic sense, but that the principles of the law, The moral law ( commonly refered as the ten commandments) —the principles of justice, mercy, and love—remains intact. They are never invalidated and that Christ Himself fulfills it perfectly, showing its ultimate purpose.

Without the Law we could not begin to understand the Atonement on the Cross.

No more symbolism = lamb sacrifices.

Fulfilled = the Cross of Jesus Christ.


He FULFILLED what the law could only teach about, but could never have fulfilled in itself!
