70 AD ended that...Peter called the law a yoke, that he was under...(we....we..it says we...)2 Cor is written to Gentiles, who don't need to obey the law. Rather, take a look in Acts 15 where Jews, unlike the Gentiles, are left STILL circumcised and following the law.
Here are some law facts, thanks!That is a really interesting point. I am not sure we can speculate with any authority about the exact make up of the crowd that day. Regardless of who was there that day though, the message still stands. Jesus appears to be saying that the attempts of the Pharisees to obey all the law were insufficient, but it was worse than that... They were not even close because as Jesus came to demonstrate and explain, obeying the law is also about your heart.
You have heard it said... But I say to you...
In each case Jesus is actually explaining how much more rigorous the law is than even the Pharisees thought. What we can not say based on verse 20, is that it somehow invalidates what Jesus himself has just said. Jesus says that living according to all the details of the law is still the righteous way to live, that he then goes on to explain just how hard that is does not countermand what he has just said.
Thoughts?
Oh come on. There's a big difference between saying that 2% of the Corinthian church was Jewish and 30% was.oh come on, no one said they were the majority, but there were plenty of Jews in the church, let this one go already...meoooow!
Yes he did. But he did not remove the yoke from his own shoulders or the shoulders of fellow Jews.70 AD ended that...Peter called the law a yoke, that he was under...(we....we..it says we...)

Jesus didn't remove the yoke either. He simply says "My yoke is easy and my burden light." Matthew 11:30Nor could he or any other human do so. It took an act of God Almighty to do it in the person of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. He broke the chains of the law forever. Hallelujah!
LIke my church has both Gentiles and Jews. About 4000 Gentiles and two of us Jews.A church which you have admitted includes both Gentiles and Jews.

No it's not. If my church were 50% Jewish, my bishop would certainly be addressing the Jews AS JEWS in his letters as well as the Gentiles. But its not. There are 2 of us Jews in a sea of 4000 Gentiles. The bishop doesn't say squat to us as Jews. He lumps us in with the Gentiles. So the perportion is very much an issue.The percentage of Gentiles to Jews in the churches Paul was writing to is irrelevant.

I'm saying Paul did the same thing my Bishop does, and for exactly the same reasons.What your bishop does or does not do is irrelevant. Paul was writing to churches

My dear, dear little kitty, she of whom I labor for all over again, until the truth be formed in you (Gal 4:19)..I'm saying Paul did the same thing my Bishop does, and for exactly the same reasons.
So the Pauline corpus is not for the 2 Jews in your church?LIke my church has both Gentiles and Jews. About 4000 Gentiles and two of us Jews.
