(17) "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come
to abolish them but to fulfill them.
(18) For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will
pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
(19) Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches
others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever
does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
(20) For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it.
Jesus and His parents kept the Law – going up to Jerusalem every year for Passover
and having Jesus circumcised on the eight day.
All scripture – not just your favorite sections. All scripture – meaning from Genesis 1:1 to
Rev 22:21.
Jesus did not nullify the OT – He fulfilled it. There is a big difference there. Jesus did
not say “Now that I’m here – you can throw away the Torah”. Hardly. He didn’t even
say “Now that I’m here – you don’t have to celebrate the feasts” because obviously
He did.
Dedicating a house is a biblical commandment
Deu 20:5 NKJV
(5) "Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying: "What man is there who has
built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest
he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.
