Its confusing when the majority of Christian preachers say that the law is no longer binding, including the 10 commandments. wouldn't that be "do[ing] away with the law"?
If you start by assuming that every letter of the bible is absolute truth, then the correct interpretation of the Bible must have no contradictions. How then should Matthew 5:17 be interpreted?

Replacing the "old" law with a different "new" law constitutes a "doing away with." Does it not?
Any details on the 9 being reauthorized?

You are right , that is confusing. Jesus meant what he said in Matthew 5:17, it is a straight-forward statement. False teachers have been teaching to the contrary.
The law that Jesus fulfilled was the law that was added because of transgressions, as is stated in Galatians 3:19, Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions,... read it. This law was added to atone for their sins. Jesus fulfilled that law. If you read the Ferrar Fenton translation, the word law is expounded upon to the identify the particular law that is referred to.
There is no contradiction in the scripture, Just a lack of understanding.
I think there are four or five different laws that could be spoken of, in relation to scripture. It is the same in the world today. We use the word "law" to mean many different laws, Someone may say, "In our house my fathers word was law", and " I got a speeding ticket because it is against the law to go over 30 MPH, on that road". The law in each instance is referring to a different law.

The 'old law' was fulfilled; and was replaced with a new better law. There is no contradiction. Yes, the 'old law' did include the '10 commandments', but 9 of the 10 are reauthorized in the new law; the 10th (keep the sabbath) expanded.

It is not a matter of "doing away with" that law, but rather a matter of ending that covenant.
Mt. 5:17 is commonly misinterpreted to mean the legalities of the law will not pass but be fulfilled. But you cannot fulfill or destroy (potentially) law in the prophets as there is no law codified in the prophets. Jesus is talking about the prophesies in the law and in the prophets.
I have a paper on this if you desire to read it. Just ask.

>> How did Jesus "fulfill" the regulation so as that we don't could desire to obey it? you're wonderful that lots of the Christian international is deceived, by making use of the devil, into questioning that the completed regulation of God (the Torah) become set aside in prefer of Grace. (a million) they do no longer seem to understand that God's regulation can in no way be set aside. If it ought to, then Jesus, the Son of God, did no longer could desire to die as a fashion to fulfill the standards of that regulation. that's what Jesus fulfilled -- no longer the regulation, however the *standards* of the regulation. Jesus paid that value so as that we don't could desire to. inspite of the undeniable fact that, the only way we will not could desire to is that if our sins are lined by making use of the Blood of the Lamb. some distance too many Christians (alongside with Chris) cheapen the Blood of Christ by making use of saying that we don't could desire to maintain an identical regulation which Jesus saved -- while Jesus explicitly stated that people who love Him will rather save that categorical same regulation (John 14:15,21,23,24). (2) in addition they do no longer seem to understand that Grace is the only way *any* human become *ever* saved (alongside with Noah; Gen. 6:8) -- in the two New and previous Testaments! i don't be attentive to of *any* incorrect way any human *ought to* be saved different than by making use of the Grace of God. So, why do they no longer understand that the hot testomony isn't new -- in basic terms genuine. It would not introduce any new regulations or gamers interior the super Plan of Salvation. It purely demonstrates that God observed by on His Promise, of Genesis 3:15, to deliver The Seed of the lady to conquer Sin and pave the way so as that whosoever will have faith, and clearly confess that Jesus is LORD, must be saved and restored to God's Kingdom and the backyard of Eden restored. God bless. EDIT: >> then why do no longer human beings save the Sabbath, the night meal Days and nutritional rules? i could no longer accept as true with you extra -- that's why I save all of those and extra. I even placed on the tassles (Num. 15:37-40-one). i do no longer do those issues because of the fact i think of it contributes to my salvation or places me in from now on ideal prefer with God. No, I do those issues because of the fact God spoke all of His regulation (no longer purely the ten Commandments) and Jesus asked me to maintain all of God's regulation to instruct my love for Him. God bless.
