Matt 15-20, "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every righteous tree brings forth righteous fruit; but a tree of evil brings forth fruit of iniquity. A righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a tree of evil bring forth fruits of righteousness. Every tree which does not bring forth righteous fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them."

But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."

John 15:9-20,12 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my Joy might remain in you, and that your Joy might be full.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

That reminds me of Matthew 5:18-19 (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Who among us has not broken a single commandment in the Bible? Let's see a hand. You want to be great in His kingdom, right?
Well, that isn't going to happen that way. All law keeping righteousness is imputed to me in Christ. Matthew 5:20 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus was speaking to Jews. He was assuring that He was not there to destroy the scriptures. They will not pass from existence until all of them are fulfilled. Good news! Jesus did come to fulfill the Law, every jot and tittle of it. Matthew 5:17 (KJV) [SUP]17 [/SUP] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Thank you Jesus!

Thank you Jesus!
Thank you for the reply, and Im glad you brought this up. My whole life I was told this is where "Jesus did away with the LAW!"
But I think if we read what He said we will CLEARLY see different:
Matt 5:17-18, "Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
So lets walk through this;
"Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them"
"but to fulfill them"
So im told yep He fulfilled everything thus the Law (Instructions) of Yah are "destroyed/done away"....
So the first thing I find odd is the fact that He said 2 times, He DID NOT come to destroy he Law/prophets....
But lets look at "but to fulfill them"
Has He fulfilled everything written in the Law and the prophets that is for Him to fulfill?
There is a prophecy that says Yahshua (Jesus) will return, He has not YET fulfilled this;
Revelation 19:13-15:, "And He was wrapped in a tallit dipped in blood, and the Name of Him is called: Yahshua--The Salvation of Yahweh. And the armies in heaven clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him upon white horses, And out of His mouth goes a sharp, two-edged sword, that with it He should strike the nations; and He will rule over them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty Yahweh."
So we can CLEARLY see He has not yet fulfilled ALL the Law and prophets, and you know what part of the Law He has not yet fulfilled? Judgement. (Came as a Lamb, returns as a Lion.)
These are Yahshua's (Jesus) words;
John 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."
Mattithyah 16:27, “For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His Malakim; and then He will reward every man according to his works.”
Yahchanan (John) 5:28-30, “Do not be astonished at this-for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice, and will come forth. Those who have practiced righteousness will be resurrected in order to live; and those who have practiced wickedness will be resurrected in order to be damned."
I know I know "JUSTIFIED BY WORKSSSSS!!!!!!" LOL, these are the WORDS OF THE SAVIOR.
Matt 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
"Unless heaven and earth passes away..the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law"
Has heaven and earth passed away? I will give you a minute to look out your window.......
No? Still there? So according to HIM, not me, Him, nothing will pass from the Law. (the real Sacifice is complete, and the Pristhood has taken on it true form, as Yahshua is the High Priest now.)
When will heaven and earth pass? Does Scripture give us a hint? Thank Yah, it does;
Revelation 21:1-2, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, Yahchanan, saw the holy city, Yahweh Shammah, coming down from Yahweh out of heaven, prepared as brides adorned for their husbands. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of Yahweh is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and Yahweh Himself will be with them, and be their Father.
Since He says, "Unless heaven and earth passes away..the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law"
So the prophecy of heaven and earth "passing" is not yet fulfilled, but clearly written, so how have the Law been thrown out?
A few more supporting verses;
Isayah 66:21-24, "And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, says Yahweh. For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make will remain before Me, says Yahweh: so will your seed and your name remain. And it will come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before Me, says Yahweh. And they will go forth and look upon the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against Me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched; and they will be an abhorrence to all flesh."
Malakyah 4:1-4,"For, behold, the day comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly, will be stubble--the day that comes will burn them up, says Yahweh of hosts; and it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who reverence My Name, the light of righteousness will arise with healing in its wings; and you will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall. And you will tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I will do this, says Yahweh of hosts. Remember the Law of Mosheh My servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for all Israyl, with the statutes and judgments."
Matt 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
"will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected"
"until all things are perfected"
Have all things been perfected?
Is there still sin and death? Yeah? Then how have ALL things been perfected?
This is the perfection of all things;
Revelation 21:4-8 And Yahweh will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor will there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. And He Who sat upon the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me: Write, for these words are true and faithful.And He said to me: It is done! I am Aleph and Tau, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him who thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. He who overcomes will inherit all things; and I will be his Father, and he will be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and worshipers of false gods, and all liars, will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone--which is the second death."
But I think if we read what He said we will CLEARLY see different:
Matt 5:17-18, "Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."

"Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to fulfill them"

Malakyah 4:1-4,"For, behold, the day comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly, will be stubble--the day that comes will burn them up, says Yahweh of hosts; and it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who reverence My Name, the light of righteousness will arise with healing in its wings; and you will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall. And you will tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I will do this, says Yahweh of hosts. Remember the Law of Mosheh My servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for all Israyl, with the statutes and judgments."
Matt 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
"will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected"
"until all things are perfected"
Have all things been perfected?
Is there still sin and death? Yeah? Then how have ALL things been perfected?
This is the perfection of all things;
Revelation 21:4-8 And Yahweh will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor will there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. And He Who sat upon the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me: Write, for these words are true and faithful.And He said to me: It is done! I am Aleph and Tau, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him who thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. He who overcomes will inherit all things; and I will be his Father, and he will be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and worshipers of false gods, and all liars, will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone--which is the second death."

Jesus Christ did not come to destroy the law or the prophets. Jesus Christ fulfilled the law (completed it, accomplished it, as a contract if fulfilled). Jesus Christ did not fulfill the prophets. That is why He said One Jot shall not be removed until all is fulfilled. You see Jesus fulfilled the Law, did not fulfill the prophesies. When the prophesies are fulfilled, He will then have completed the Entire OLD TESTAMENT.
Jesus has fulfilled the Law, and not the prophesies.

Jesus has fulfilled the Law, and not the prophesies.
^i^
Jesus fulfilled prophecies concerning Him, such as in Isaiah 53 which described His "passion week". Some prophets foretold of Israel's exile, and that happened. Some prophesied of the coming glory of restored Israel, which has not happened. Some tell of Jesus to come back. That's why Jesus was careful to speak of fulfilling the Mosaic Law, which He did. Still, He didn't destroy it. Some folks choose to embrace it hoping it will save them. It won't. Obeying the old laws will never enable anyone to embrace the divine nature of Christ, essential for salvation. That allows Jesus to take a person out of whatever Jesus wants you out of, but always at the same time takes you into what He wants you to benefit by. The believer in Him will not be left stranded between laws he can't keep, the answer being God's program of grace, by accepting faith in Jesus, not Moses, or any angel, or commandment. If we could find eternal life by any of those, then Jesus' death and resurrection was not needed.
How do you connect what Jesus did in that to keeping the law?
The law itself released Jesus from it's hold, so that when He died He wasn't required to keep it. When Jesus arose from the grave He was still free from it. He could not die again. That is true for all believers who die to sin with Jesus, then rise from sin of death with Him into new life, all by faith, who will be raised bodily from the earthen graves. The law doesn't offer that.
As for works in general, of course Jesus will reward righteous works when He returns. But none of those will save anyone.
No gentile believer was required by New Covenant command to obey Moses. No Jewish convert was commanded to retain Moses. Paul made it clear that Christians put themselves in grave danger by going back to Moses. That's like the people following Moses out of Egypt demanding to be returned to Egypt instead of going on to a promised land. Except for Joshua and Caleb, all one million of them that were in Egypt died between places, in the wilderness, wandering 40 years fruitlessly. Their children, who didn't reject the Promise were allowed in, leaving Moses behind to be buried by God.

So He has already returned? That is a prophecy from the Law and the prophets........ about Him......returning.......If He did not yet return, all the prophets are not yet fulfilled....

Yes nobody's works can save them, only the Mercy of Yahweh can allow one to enter in.

Who's Law?
(Yahweh gave His Law through Mosheh, it is not Mosheh law.Malakyah 4, "Remember the Law of Mosheh My servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for all Israyl,")
Acts 15:, "Therefore, my judgment is that we should not make difficulties for those of the Gentiles who turn to Yahweh, But rather, write to them that they abstain from defilements: such as idolatry, from all sexual impurity, from that which has been cooked with the blood still in it, and from bloodshed by violence-- For Mosheh, from the earliest times, has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath Day."
Romans 9:6-8, "However, it is not as though Yahweh's plan had failed. For it is not everyone who is a descendant of Israyl who belongs to Israyl. Nor, just because they are his descendants, are they all Abraham's children; but: In Isaac will your seed be called. That is, it is not those who are the children of the flesh who are Yahweh's children; but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's seed."
Psalm 105:6-9, "O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Yaaqob, His chosen ones! He is Yahweh our Father! His judgments are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, the Law He commanded for a thousand generations; Which He made; ratified, established, with Abraham, and vowed by His oath to Isaac. He confirmed it; let it stand, to Yaaqob for a Law, and to Israyl for an everlasting covenant."
Galatians 3:28,29, "Is there not the Yahdai as well as the Greek; Gentile? Is there not the slave as well as the freeman? Is there not the male and the female? For all of you must be in unity in Yahshua Messiah. And if you are in Messiah, then you are a seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise."
Psalm 89:26-37, "He will call out to Me; You are my Father, O Yahweh! You are the Rock of my salvation! And I will make Him My firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. My mercy I will keep for Him forever and My covenant will stand fast with Him. And I will establish his Seed forever, and his throne will be as the days of heaven. Should his children forsake My Law, and refuse to walk in My judgments; Should they profane My statutes, and fail to keep My commandments; Then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with lashes from the whip. Nevertheless, My lovingkindness I will not utterly withdraw from him, nor will I ever betray My faithfulness. My covenant I will not break, nor will I change what that has gone out of My lips. Once for all, I have vowed by My holiness--I cannot lie, and I say to David: His Seed will endure forever, and his throne will endure before Me like the sun. His throne will be established forever like the moon: the faithful witness in the sky."

Isaiah 61
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
8For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
10I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
11For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

And not only by the admission of Yahshua Himself but Mosheh, inspired by Yahweh said the same thing:
Deuteronomy 18:18-19, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. Whoever will not listen to My words, which He speaks in My Name, I will judge him for it"

Matt 8:1-4, "When He came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And, behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, and said; Teacher, if You are willing, You can make me clean. Then Yahshua reached out His hand and touched him, saying: I am willing; be cleansed. And immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. And Yahshua said to him: Be sure that you tell no man of this. But go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the sacrifice commanded through Mosheh, as testimony of your healing to them."
Matt 8:5-13, "When Yahshua had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, and pleaded, Saying; Teacher, my servant lies at home paralyzed, and in terrible suffering. Yahshua said to him: I will come and heal him. The centurion answered, and said; Teacher, I am not worthy enough for You to come under my roof, but speak the word only, and my servant will be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man: Go, and he goes; and to another: Come, and he comes; and to my servant: Do this, and he does it. When Yahshua heard this, He marveled, and said to those who followed: Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israyl. I also say to you: Many will come from the east and west and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Yaaqob in the Kingdom of Yahweh; But the children of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then Yahshua said to the centurion: Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you. And his servant was healed in the same hour."
Matt 8:14-17, "When Yahshua came into Kepha's house, He saw Kepha's mother-in-law lying in bed, sick with a fever; And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; then she got up, and began to wait on them. When evening had come, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Him, and He cast out the spirits with a command, and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isayah, saying: "He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases."
Matt 8:18-20, "Now when Yahshua saw great multitudes around Him, He gave a command to cross to the other side of the lake. Then a certain scribe came, and said to Him; Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go. Yahshua said to him: The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head."
