      Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.

      He has not come to loosen the laws but to fulfill them

      This statement is told because the Pharisees were claiming that he was teaching people to ignore the law of Moses

      By fulfill, he means completely live a sinless life that no Israelite had managed, becoming the first and last to do so.

      This is also why the sacrificial system was abolished too, because Jesus’ sacrifice was enough to the Lord for eternity.

        There you go trying to explain and rationalise the divine words of your infallible god. So why even include the Old Testament? If Jesus “fulfilled” it like an Amazon order, it’s over. Stop using it to judge people. No more Leviticus, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Judges, Proverbs…

        Christians hate being reminded that the Old Testament is just Torah fanfiction, so you should be happy to lose that stuff.
