[quote=Anonymous][quote]If you know anything at all about Christianity, you know Jesus changed marital, dietary and other laws, like replacing “thou shalt not kill” with “turn the other cheek.” I’m not going to waste time “pointing” you to super-obvious things. If you really don’t know, Google is your friend.[/quote]

No, he did not change the laws, the Matthew quote is very clear.  And you can't point out the things he changed because he didn't explicitly change anything.

[quote]It’s also cute that you completely ignore the Luke text about Jesus and the “new covenant” because it doesn’t fit your distorted narrative.[/quote]

"New Covenant" does not mean those things were changed.  Unless you are claiming he meant to throw the entire OT out? Or just the parts you would like to be thrown out?

[quote]You’re the one taking the statement out of context and willfully misinterpreting it. Maybe you think of “fulfill” as being Amazon completing your order. But it also means “bring to an end” or “develop the full potentialities of.”  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fulfill [/quote]

It's also cute how you change the meaning of a word to support your narrative, and ignore the first part of the quote, which says "Do not think that I have come to abolish Law or the Prophets"

So here's where we stand:  My point stands on the words as written, yours changes meanings, claims to know unstated things by inference, and directly contradicts the words as written.

So we disagree.  Fine.  I'm feeling pretty good about the objective value of my position, and will let it stand as is.[/quote]
