Hi Jason,<br><br>Thanks for the quotation and for the link to the book. Hopefully I will get chance to look at it later. In the meanwhile, I do disagree with his statement “[color:blue]So I claim that Plarosai teaches that “He came to confirm and restore the full measure, intent, and purpose of the Older Testamental law</font color=blue>.” I believe that in the book of Matthew, “fullfill”, which is used about 16 times, means much more than simply “to confirm and restore the full measure....”. I believe all those scriptures where it is used point to “accomplished” or “to bring to pass” the promises and prophecies, the purpose of the law, etc. In addition, Luke 24:44, which is similar passages seems to confirm this, no pun intended. Luke 24:44 states, "Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be <span style="background-color:yellow;">fulfilled</span>." The same can be said of of Matthew 26:54, which states, “How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen this way”. <br><br>in Christ,<br>Carlos<br>
