Is this an emotional out burst? or just a sloppy post?
Indeed Ps 111:7-8 do say what you quoted.
Indeed Jesus did say He came to fulfil and not to destroy in Mat 5:17. And Luke 24:44 says He did exactly that. Here's the verse - And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.
In Mat 5:17 the word pleroo means to complete. You can certianly force the definition that says to make full if you like. There simply is more than one definition to pleroo. Luke 24:44 uses the same exact word indicating that Jesus did just exactly that. Thus your interpretation of 5:18 also fails the test.
You nor anybody else follow the example that Jesus set. To keep you from thinking I'm condeming you I'll tame it down some this time. Have you walked on water? Have you said to the wind to be stil and it obeyed you immediately? Have you spoken and healed anybody? Have you fasted for 40 days? Are you married of have you been? Do you have a dozen close followers called students (disciples)?
The 10 Cs only regulate the life of an Israelite to whom they were exclusively given - Deut 5:3. They didn't exist from the begining to your dismay. One has to ignore or add to the plain statements found in Romans 5:13 and Gal 3:17, 19.
While I see and understand your point on covenants, they can be replaced as evidenced by Jer 31:31-34. The covenant made at Mt Sinai in Horeb has been replaced just as Jeremiah said and Jesus testified to in 3 Gospels.
Jesus isn't talking about the law when mentioning from the beginning.
What were the commandments and laws and laws they disobeyed? I only see one so the question becomes are the words commandments and laws plural in Hebrew? I seriously don't think so. Law as used here means direction or instruction. Commandment means required.
The consistant problem for the pro law camp is requireing the word commandments to exclusively mean the 10 Cs which isn't the case regardless what your church claims.
Gal 3:19 doesn't say something that existed came or was added after it already existed. Your position requires this verse to be in error. So show how it is in error or mistranslated. Then you also must deal with Rom 5:13 as well and in the same manner.
The bible plainly does not support your view!
