again, in regards to the OT laws?

Question

what does it mean when you say that jesus "fulfilled" them?

actually mattfromasia: no, you didn't answer it. define "fulfill"

sweet suzy: i have read it, i want to know what YOU interpret it as.

lover of god: so does that mean that, in effect, the old testament laws are abolished? or rather, i guess, that the laws are still in play but the punishements are not?

interesting answers, since just 2 questions ago, about 50 people claimed the OT laws were NOT abolished.

Answer 1

He threw stones at people probably.

He said only the one who is sinless can cast the stone. He said he was sinless, so he did cast the stones and implemented those O.T. laws that tell you to kill disobedient children and beat slaves with rods for 50 times otherwise kill them for not obeying master.

Somethin like that.... *scratching my head*, It's jesus throwing stones from behind...

"Come on man stop that you sinless M0roN!!!"

Answer 2

Christ fulfilled the law, by being the sacrificial lamb, which according to Old Testament law, atoned for sins. Being the once and for all atonement for sins, the physical manifestations and spiritual manifestations for punishment in the Old Testament were no longer to be practiced. "The lamb that taketh away the sin of the world." "He who knew no sin, became sin for us in order that we might become the righteousness of God in HIm." Notice that Christ himself did not pronounce stoning of the woman for adultery. Jesus has fulfilled the law by bearing the full measure of punishment under the law, in our behalves.

Answer 3

There is no way that we can obey all of these laws according to God's expectations, but Jesus did. He observed all of them. He is perfect because He is God. He sacrificed Himself to pay for our sins. He paid the penalty of our selfish disobedience by dying in our place. Each of us deserves to die. He made all the requirements that the Law demanded from each one of us. When we turn from our sins and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God forgives us and gives us His Holy Spirit, His Righteousness, God Himself, so that we have the power over our sins and to have an eternal relationship with God as our loving Father in Heaven.

Answer 4

One of the old testament laws was that rape victims should be stoned to death. Christians try to cover for such a wicked god by claiming that its old law so it doesn't count anymore. Must have really sucked to be alive before Christ.

Answer 5

Answer 7

You have to read the Holy Bible to find the answers. Don't expect others to read it for you and give you the answer. You need to read it yourself so you are sure about the answer.

Answer 8

Pius XII: Mystici Corporis, 29: "And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished; then the Law of Christ together with its mysteries, enactments, institutions, and sacred rites was ratified for the whole world in the blood of Jesus Christ...but on the Gibbet of His death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross, establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race. "To such an extent, then," says St. Leo the Great, speaking of the Cross of our Lord, "was there effected a transfer from the Law to the Gospel, from the Synagogue to the Church, from the many sacrifices to one Victim, that, as Our Lord expired, that mystical veil which shut off the innermost part of the temple and its sacred secret was rent violently from top to bottom."
30: "On the Cross then the Old Law died, soon to be buried and to be a bearer of death, in order to give way to the New Testament of which Christ had chosen the Apostles as qualified ministers"
Council of Trent, ch 1, 793: "but not even the Jews by the very letter of the law of Moses were able to be liberated or to rise therefrom"
Council of Trent, Session 6, ch 2: "that He might both redeem the Jews, who were under the Law"
Council of Trent, Canon 1: "If anyone shall say that man can be justified before God by his own works which are done through his own natural powers, or through the teaching of the Law...let him be anathema."
Council of Florence, DS 695: "There are seven sacraments of the new Law: namely, baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance, extreme unction, orders, and matrimony, which differ a great deal from the sacraments of the Old Law. For those of the Old Law did not effect grace, but only pronounced that it should be given through the passion of Christ; these sacraments of ours contain grace, and confer it upon those who receive them worthily."
Council of Florence, DS 712: "It firmly believes, professes, and teaches that the matter pertaining to the law of the Old Testament, of the Mosiac law, which are divided into ceremonies, sacred rites, sacrifices, and sacraments, because they were established to signify something in the future, although they were suited to the divine worship at that time, after our Lord's coming had been signified by them, ceased, and the sacraments of the New Testament began; and that whoever, even after the passion, placed hope in these matters of the law and submitted himself to them as necessary for salvation, as if faith in Christ could not save without them, sinned mortally."
"All, therefore, who after that time observe circumcision and the Sabbath and the other requirements of the law, it declares alien to the Christian faith and not in the least fit to participate in eternal salvation, unless someday they recover from these errors. Therefore, it commands all who glory in the name of Christian, at whatever time, before or after baptism' to cease entirely from circumcision, since, whether or not one places hope in it, it cannot be observed at all without the loss of eternal salvation."
Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum, #59: "However they are not attempting to observe the precepts of the old Law, which as everyone knows have been revoked by the coming of Christ."
Pope Benedict XIV, Ex Quo Primum, #61: "The first consideration is that the ceremonies of the Mosaic law were abrogated by the coming of Christ and they can no longer be observed without sin after the promulgation of the Gospel."
Pius VI, DS 1519-1520 (condemned the following): "Likewise, the doctrine which adds that under the Law man 'became a prevaricator, since he was powerless to observe it, not indeed by the fault of the Law, which was most sacred, but by the guilt of man, who, under the Law, without grace, became more and more a prevaricator'; and it further adds, 'that the Law, if it did not heal the heart of man, brought it about that he would recognize his evil, and, being convinced of his weakness, would desire the grace of a mediator'; in this part it generally intimates that man became a prevaricator through the nonobservance of the Law which he was powerless to observe, as if 'He who is just could command something impossible, or He who is pious would be likely to condemn man for that which he could not avoid' (from St. Caesarius Serm. 73, in append., St. Augustine, Serm. 273, edit. Maurin; from St. August., De nat, et "rat., e. 43; De "rat. et lib. arb., e. 16, Enarr. in psalm. 56, n. I),-- false scandalous, impious, condemned in Baius (see n. 1504).
1520 20. "In that part in which it is to be understood that man, while under the Law and without grace, could conceive a desire for the grace of a Mediator related to the salvation promised through Christ, as if 'grace itself does not effect that He be invoked by us' (from Conc. Araus. II, can. 3 [v.n. 176]),-- the proposition as it stands, deceitful, suspect, favorable to the Semipelagian heresy.
