I think there's more than one way to make things appear in quotes. Here's the method I use:
This thing below will make the quote start
(QUOTE)
And this thing will make it end. Notice that the only difference is the slash.
(/QUOTE)
But an important exception! In the example above I used parentheses "(" and ")". I had to do it that way because if I did it the real way, you wouldn't be able to see, because it wouldn't be displayed.
So the real way is to replace those parentheses with brackets. On a computer keyboard, they're just to the right of the letter "p". On my phone, they're on the screen that has the special characters. You'll want to use the ones that look "squared off", not the ones that are kind of "squiggly".
Give it a shot! Let me know how it works
OK, moving on...
Well, one step at a time. Do you believe that Jesus accomplished what he said he came to do, that is "fulfill"?
And if Jesus was successful, did he complete the condition "until all is fulfilled"? It's an important question, I think.
Different Bible translations render the passage differently. Some make it sound like it's parallel to heaven and earth passing away. Others make it sound like a separate condition. Which do you think?
It depends if we're seeing one condition or two. I like to see two, however, I can see that some Bible translations indicate then it's basically a single condition.
I think it's a critical issue for our discussion. If it's a single condition and the law is still intact, then I think we have two options. We can attempt to do all the physical actions required by every commandment, like putting tassels on our clothes.
Or we can say that the entire law is kept some other way.
One option which I think this passage does not allow is to say that some part of the law is still here, while another part has passed away.
Sorry, I don't understand your sentence
"I don't see where it states in this verse there is a condition to it."
I talk about "the entire law" because that's what you have if not a single jot or tittle passes away.
Is that what you're asking about?
So, elaborating...
Suppose we have to keep the entire law because Jesus says no part of it passes away until 1 or 2 conditions are met (depending on how one understands the passage).
The Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. The genealogical records were also destroyed at that time, so now it's impossible to know who is a levite or a son of Aaron.
So when Jesus walked the earth, and also when most of the New testament was being written, a person could at least make a human based attempt at keeping the law. They could give it the ol' college try
Jesus once healed a man (or was it several?) from leprosy, then he told him to go show himself to the priest. That's where the genealogy records come in. Today, you cannot follow Jesus' instructions if he heals you from leprosy. You cannot find a son of Aaron.
