1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

Topic - Jesus Christ - His Mission

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

Jesus also said that as long as heaven and earth remain, not one jot or tittle will pass from the Law until all of it is fulfilled.
Heaven and earth are still here. Not one jot or tittle has passed from the Law.

"Fulfill" means to "fill to overflowing." It does NOT mean "accomplish for the purpose of neutralizing." He says, specifically, that He did not come to destroy the Law. So, why is Christian doctrine based around His destruction of it?

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 I tell you truly, until - - heaven and - earth pass away, not - a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until - everything is accomplished. 19 - So then, whoever breaks one of the - least of these commandments and teaches - others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever - practices and teaches them - will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless - your - righteousness exceeds - that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter - - - the kingdom of heaven.
Anger and Reconciliation
21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘Do not murder’3 and ‘Anyone who - murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with - his brother4 will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who - says to his brother, ‘Raca,’5 will be subject to the Sanhedrin.6 But anyone who - says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to the - fire of hell.

To whom was our Lord speaking to?

Johann, I do not know: but I desire to encourage for all people to seek freedom found in Christ, and to rely on God, and the Holy Spirit. Hope you understand what I am saying my brother in Christ. I desire for you to have freedom to think, decide, and grow in your own way lead by the Holy Spirit, and to be yourself and live your life as you see fit and understand that all of us are doing the same thing. Understanding we are all accountable to God alone, at the end of our life.

Love you!
