BukiRob, Explain, if you will, what you are talking about when you said 'new covenant or, new testament covenant.' I know the new covenant of Jer.31, and the 'blood of this cup is a new testament in Mat.26:28. I'm confused in what you are saying. Thanks.
That is not true.
The entire Word of God Old and New Testament is written on our hearts and minds. That doesn't mean we are under the Law. The Law was specific to the Old Covenant.
What we are under is the two commands Jesus left us with which are harder. It seems believing verse 40 is true is your real issue.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38“This is the great and foremost commandment. 39“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ 40 “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
This may help you What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the law, but did not abolish it?
Well, let's go to the Greek then.Sorry but the author of that article is wrong about how Pleroo is applied to Matthew 5:17
You clearly do not follow links.Well, let's go to the Greek then.
Here's the verse: Matthew 5:17 Interlinear: 'Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil;
The word used as fulfill is as follows
4137 [e]
plērōsai
πληρῶσαι .
to fulfill [them]
V-ANA
That is not the word "pleroo" as you indicated above.
And the root word is not the word used.You clearly do not follow links.
LOL.... You dont have the first clue as to what you are talking about.
Pleroo is the root word.
"to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment": Matthew 5:17; cf. Weiss, Das Matthäusevang. as above with, p. 146f
Strong's Greek: 4137. πληρόω (pléroó) -- to make full, to complete
You have clearly been provided the definition with this specific verse married to the above definition along with the footnotes
And the root word is not the word used.
What you need to do is have the correct word. There can be many words that are slightly different from the root word. This is basic language 101.
You need to be EXACT. There are 88 occurences that are related to the root word, only 4 occurences contain the word I used, which is MORE PERCISE, notice the small [e] at the end of the Strong's Concordance entry, that [e] has a meaning.
4137 [e]

to fulfill [them]

MidrashMidrash Rabbah - Exodus 30:22
22. Another explanation of NOW THESE ARE THE ORDINANCES. Both the heathen and Israel have judges, and you do not know what difference there is between both. It can be compared to a sick man whose doctor paid him a visit and then said to the family: ' Give him to eat whatever he wants.' When he came to the other, he left word: ' Take care not to let him eat that and that thing.' When he was asked, `The first, thou didst allow to eat whatever he wishes, and the second, thou didst forbid certain things,' his reply was: `The first has no chance of recovering; for this reason did I allow him to eat what he fancies; but the second will yet live and therefore did I command strict caution in his diet.' Similarly the heathen have judges, but neither study the Torah nor fulfil it, as it says, Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and ordinances whereby they should not live (Ezek.XX, 25),1 but with regard to the commandments it says, Which if a man do, he shall live by them (Lev. XVIII, 5).
Exodus Rabbah 40:1
R. Hoshaya said: Anyone who has knowledge but lacks the fear of sin, really has nothing, just as a carpenter who has no tools with him is not a real carpenter; because the bolts which guard learning are the fear of sin, as it says, And the fear of the Lord is its treasure-house (Isa. XXXIII, 6). R. Johanan said: If one knows the Torah but does not fulfil it, it were better for him that he had not been born,
Numbers Rabbah 3:12
He was called Kohath for this reason: You read: If the iron be blunt (Eccl. X, 10), which means, if you perceive that the heavens have become `blunt' and refuse to send down rain, having become like iron- as you read: 'And I will make your heaven as iron'-be assured that it is as a punishment for the non-observance of the Torah; for it is written, And one do not whet the edge (ib.), that is, because they did not fulfil the commandments of the Torah which was given to them by God face to face-as you read, The Lord spoke with you face to face, etc. (Deut. V, 4)
Numbers Rabbah 11:1
The wise shall inherit honour (Prov. III, 35) applies to Israel who are called wise when they fulfil the Torah and the commandments; as it says, Observe therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding, etc. (Deut. IV, 6)
Deuteronomy Rabbah 1:21
The Rabbis say: Moses declared before God: `Master of the Universe, just because the Gentiles have not been commanded to observe the Sabbath, wilt Thou show favour to them if they do observe it?' God replied to him: ' Do you really fear this? By your life, even if they fulfil all the commandments in the Torah, yet will I cause them to fall before you.' Whence this? Because the text says, BEHOLD, I HAVE BEGUN TO DELIVER UP BEFORE THEE.
Deuteronomy Rabbah 7:4
TO OBSERVE TO DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS (XXVIII, 1). R. Simeon b. Halafta said: If one learns the words of the Torah and does not fulfil them, his punishment is more severe than that of him who has not learnt at all.
Deuteronomy Rabbah 11:6
Halachah: When a Jew goes up to read the Law, he is not permitted to commence reading it before he has recited the blessings. First he must recite the blessings and then he reads. And thus Moses, when he had the privilege of receiving the Torah, first recited a blessing, and then he read it. R. Eleazar asked: What was the blessing which Moses recited before reading it? [It was], Blessed art Thou, O Lord, King of the Universe, who hast chosen this law and sanctified it and hast found pleasure in them who fulfil it. He did not say, ' in them that labour at it,' nor, ' in them who meditate in it,' but, ' in them that fulfil it,' that is to say, in them who carry out the words of the Torah.
Numbers Rabbah 10:8
For thus have the Sages said: Keep away from a small sin lest it lead you to a grievous one; run to fulfil a small commandment, for it will lead you to an important one.
TalmudChagigah 4b
Samuel went and brought Moses with him, Saying to him: Perhaps, Heaven forfend,21 I am summoned to Judgment: arise with me,22 for there is nothing that thou hast written in the Torah, which I did not fulfil.
Arachin 22a
R. Papa said: The paying of a debt is a commandment and [minor] orphans are not obliged to fulfil the commandment.
MishnahAVOT 4:9
R. JONATHAN SAID: WHOEVER FULFILS THE TORAH OUT OF [A STATE OF] POVERTY, HIS END [WILL BE] TO FULFIL IT OUT OF [A STATE OF] WEALTH; AND WHOEVER DISCARDS THE TORAH OUT OF [A STATE OF] WEALTH, HIS END [WILL BE] TO DISCARD IT OUT OF [A STATE OF] POVERTY.

Show me that in scripture. Yeshua literally kept the law perfectly.Usage of 'fulfill' in cultural context:
Right.In various places of the OT we see G-d rejecting the offerings of Israel and it is precisely because their "hearts were far from me" Is 29:13
I said nothing about us being "under the Law". No NC believer is "under the Law" meaning we are not under its condemnation.That is not true.
The entire Word of God Old and New Testament is written on our hearts and minds. That doesn't mean we are under the Law. The Law was specific to the Old Covenant.
Do you show love to your neighbor by committing adultery with his/her spouse; by stealing from them; by bearing false witness against them; by making them work for you on the 7th day; by murdering them; etc.? No.What we are under is the two commands Jesus left us with which are harder. It seems believing verse 40 is true is your real issue.
Matthew 22:36-40
36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38“This is the great and foremost commandment. 39“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ 40 “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
