Christians: Jesus did WHAT exactly to OT law?
Q: Christians: Jesus did WHAT exactly to OT law?
In the OT, God commands that people who work on the Sabbath be put to death (Ex. 35:2), and that people with skin diseases be exiled (Lev. 13:46).
What does Jesus do to these two specific commands?
Please, explain in a way my feeble atheistic mind can comprehend. I haven’t been able to follow the “fulfill, not override, generally make nicer” arguments I’ve read so far.
A: Jesus fulfilled and set aside ALL of the old laws, ordinances, and statutes … which never had the power to save a soul.
Then, on Pentecost, he sent the Holy Spirit to officially replace the old law with the Church … which is most certainly salvific.
Grace … not law … is now the order of the day.
