It is fulfilled by those who are IN Christ to the point that it is fulfilled in their gospel living. But many suppose it destroyed, in spite of Christ stating that it wasn't.<BR/><BR/>For example, all the foods that he said were bad to eat are still unhealthy. And killing people isn't normally the thing to do.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments.Doug Towershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119162546723347214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37212943.post-52361248503501223012008-07-09T16:48:00.000-05:002008-07-09T16:48:00.000-05:00In the 4th paragraph from the end, you said, “God ...In the 4th paragraph from the end, you said, “God gave all the laws within the Law of Moses for a reason.” As a clarification to the above statement, showing who the “God” is who gave the law to Moses:<BR/><BR/>“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him...” (John 8:56-59)<BR/><BR/>Jesus had just told them that He was I AM, or Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament, and that’s why they wanted to stone Him, as that would have been blasphemy, except that it was true. In the Book Of Mormon Jesus says it a little more plainly:<BR/><BR/>“And he said unto them: Marvel not that I said unto you that old things had passed away, and that all things had become new. Behold, I say unto you that the law is fulfilled that was given unto Moses. Behold, I am he that gave the law, and I am he who covenanted with my people Israel; therefore, the law in me is fulfilled, for I have come to fulfil the law; therefore it hath an end.” (3 Nephi 15:3-5; see also Ether 3:14-18, where Moroni states that Jesus was God before He was born.)<BR/><BR/>When anyone states that they will only accept statements of Jesus in the New Testament as doctrine, because “such and such” doctrine was not taught by Jesus in the New Testament, ask why they don’t accept Jesus’ “such and such” doctrinal statements in the Old Testament, when He was speaking as the God He was, and still is.Dan Knudsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995996936812850901noreply@blogger.com
