Only the foolish and bewitched draw back to law.
Fulfilling law would accurse everyone, kill everyone.
Perhaps there is an allegoric answer many don't see.
I am(grace) not come to destroy(law), but to fufill(grace).
Law worketh wrath is what destroys both property & life.
God hath not appointed us unto (law worketh) wrath.
God did not send his Son to condemn(law).
Bless(grace) and curse(law) not.
Go(learn) and sin(law) no more.

God did not send his Son to condemn.
God's Son condemned sin in the flesh.
Is this not also a contradiction?
Perhaps two Gods & Sons?
Or else one schizoid God.

That is a good writing for those who already know the answer, but sadly there are many who do not know the answer, and your writing is way above their understanding, so they will dismiss is as "greek" to them.

I generally find that human examples work much better within this group of non believers or non understanders.

Such as once I have fulfilled my obligation it is the end of the obligation. Now I can continue to try and fulfill the obligation, but it is in vain, as the obligation has been fulfilled.

All the perentases (sorry about the spelling there) are throwing me off, but there's a much easier answer to your question.

When Jesus talked about coming to fulfill the law, not destroy it, it was a statement directed towards many of the religious leaders. Jesus, remember, was a devout Jew and was schooled in the laws of the Torah from an early age. What he saw was that the letter of the laws might have been fulfilled, but the spirit / intention of the laws was being left behind. So while people were getting very uptight about the "hows," Jesus was voicing concerns about the "whys."

There is a whole other theological understanding of Jesus coming to fulfill the law, but I don't know if you want to get into a conversation about eschatology and trying to understand what he meant by "the Kingdom of Heaven." Let me know if I'm wrong - it'd be an interesting discussion. (& sorry... nerd moment there)

Hello and thank you for the note. Yes I have read that in Hebrews. Have you not read in the same verse 39 about the promise, that they received a Good testimony through faith? so they did have faith and a good testimony from God. Abraham God calls His friend. Also it says in verse 38 that these were of such value that the world was not worthy of them. They died not receiving the promise because Christ had not yet come but they looked forward to it by faith and that is why in verse 5 it clearly states that Enoch who also lived by faith pleased God. It also states in vs 13-16 that they all looked forward (past their death) by faith to the city God will build and so God is not ashamed to be their God and Has prepared a city for them. We do see the promise now that Christ has come and taken care of our sins on the cross but just like them we live by faith looking for the next coming of Jesus.
May the Lord grant you wisdom
All the best to you

Christ fulfilled the law, he obeyed all the commandments and did not sin. The end of the law, by His death, he condemned sin and by His resurrection all who believe on Him, God will write His commandments on their hearts and minds.
Sin wrought disobedience in all who forsook the commandments of God.
