Again,
We have all been influenced by the religion we are born into. Jesus specifically warned to take heed of "Many" who come in His name. You are relying for your religious instructions the very people who Jesus and His Apostles warned against.
Matt. 5:20 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.
You didn't consider this verse or the implications of it. What did the Pharisees do? They taught for "Doctrines" the Commandments of men and had been doing so for centuries. Jesus is having to re-teach everyone as to what the Gospel is.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Because the Catholic church and her daughters preach against God's Laws you automatically assume, as does the web site you posted, that "Those of old time" is referring to Moses. But Jesus didn't have a problem mentioning Moses name, if He was referring to Moses He would have said "You have heard it said from Moses". But he didn't, He wasn't talking about Moses as you and so "Many" who come in His Name preach. He is talking about the Levite Priests, the Pharisees, who had created their own Law and had omitted the "weightier matters "in the Law" like mercy and judgment. Everybody didn't have a bible in their house like you and I do. Unless they took notes from the scribes and studied, they would only understand what the Pharisees told them. And Jesus was very clear that they were liars when it came to the Word of God.
Jesus set them straight regarding the Laws and Instructions He created before becoming a man.
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
When did He say this truth?
Lev. 19:17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
In fact, if you go through the "But I say" you will find that Jesus either said it or inspired it to be said in the Law and Prophets long before he came to earth as a man.
He wasn't teaching a different Gospel than Moses or the God of the Bible as you preach, He was teaching a different Gospel than the Mainstream Preachers of His Time. They are the "Them of old time" if you can accept this. The question is, which is more important to you, Your religious traditions and doctrines, or the truth from the Word of God?

Jesus fulfilled the law by never breaking it, by which means he conquered sin and death so that all might be saved who believe in him. This is the Gospel.
What does it mean to fulfil the law? Jesus, accomplished, completed, and ended the law as the Jews wrongly understood it with all their ceremonies and holy days etc.
For the ending of the law. Read Luke 16:16. It marks the end of ceremonial ritual as practised by the Jews, and the beginning of the Gospel message.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.(Luk 16:16 KJV)
God bless.

Your problem Jackson is not your trying to use an English dictionary on a Greek Word. How can you be not spiritual and LOVE as he first LOVED US when God knows that we do not have the LOVE of God in us unless he puts it in our heart to LOVE?
SIN will keep all those who practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM.

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).

Good question, God's Word is very clear who his people are and a lamp in a dark place.
Matthew 7
16, You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17, Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
18, A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19, Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20, Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21, Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22, Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23, And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
HOW DO WE KNOW IF WE KNOW GOD?
1 JOHN 2
3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4, He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
What is the FRUIT of one who professes FAITH? OBEDIENCE or DISOBEDIENCE? Therefore by their FRUITS you shall know them.
1 John 3
6, WHOEVER ABIDES IN HIM SINS NOT: whoever SINS HAS NOT SEEN HIM, NEITHER KNOWS HIM.
7, Little children, LET KNOW ONE DECEIVE YOU: he that DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, even as he is righteous.8, HE THAT COMMITS SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9, WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOES NOT COMMIT SIN; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10, IN THIS THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE MANIFEST AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
SIN is the fruit of the DEVIL and grows on those who follow him. Obedience is the fruit of FAITH in those who follow God and the GIFT of salvation to those who BELIEVE.
Romans 6
16, Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
WHO ARE GOD'S SAINTS?
Revelation 12: [17], And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 14: [12] HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS: here are they that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, and the faith of Jesus. Yep if you are still in your SINS you are not on God's side or do you know him.No need for confusion

I see, so please show us how Hebrews 10:26-27 in your view does not mean....
26, For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, 27, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.Surrounding context...
Hebrews 10
13, From now on expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14, For by one offering he has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15, Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, said the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17, And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
18, Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19, Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20, By a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21, And having an high priest over the house of God;
22, Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised
24, And let us consider one another to provoke to love and to good works:
25, Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching.
26, For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,
27, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28, He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29, Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace?
30, For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
31, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

It seems in your view DC, Paul is lying when he says if we continue in SIN there remains no more sacrifice for sins,But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries?

True. Jesus went on to say: "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away." (Luk 21:33)
Jesus, "The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father" (Isa 9:6) the "King of the Jews" (Mat 2:2 Mat 27:37) gave Moses the Law that men added to, (the Mitzvot). Jesus, who is "God with us" Mat 1:23, amended and strengthened God's law, and HIS words and His Law shall never fail or pass away even though the earth will.

Changing God's Word to something it is NOT saying does nto look good for you PS.
................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
Unless you read one more verse.
Luke 16:16-17, "The Law and the Prophets were until John, since that time the Kingdom of YHWH is preached, and every man is pressed to enter it. But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."
Thats fine but your quoting a different scripture to the one that was sent you by Shamah which is Luke 16:16-17?
King James Bible
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Even the scripture you quote in Luke 24 only supports God's LAW (10 Commandments) never passing away as the 10 Commandments were spoken by God himself. Therefore as you have rightly pointed out; his words will NOT pass away (Luke 21:33). God's 10 Comamndments will not pass away

That my friend is excerpt from a dictionary. Simply defining the word is not enough at times. Context and grammar need to be considered also. If the Moral was to be of no consequence due to Jesus completing it then why would he go to expound on it.
Here are some excerpts from a few scholars in reference to Matt 5:17. Who as far as I now do not keep the Sabbath. Well Lightfoot might.
The BDAG cites:
Mt 5:17; depending on how one prefers to interpret the context, πληρόω is understood here either as fulfill=do, carry out, or as bring to full expression=show it forth in its true mng., or as fill up=complete
From Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible:
Matthew 5:17
Think not that I am come ... - Our Saviour was just entering on his work. It was important for him to state what he came to do. By his setting up to be a teacher in opposition to the scribes and Pharisees, some might charge him with an intention to destroy their law, and to abolish the customs of the nation. He therefore told them that he did not come for that end, but really to fulfill or accomplish what was in the law and the prophets.
To destroy - To abrogate; to deny their divine authority; to set people free from the obligation to obey them. “The law.” The five books of Moses called the law. See the notes at Luk_24:44.
The Prophets - The books which the prophets wrote. These two divisions here seem to comprehend the Old Testament, and Jesus says that he came not to do away or destroy the authority of the Old Testament.
But to fulfil - To complete the design; to fill up what was predicted; to accomplish what was intended in them. The word “fulfill” also means sometimes “to teach” or “to inculcate,”
Robertson's Word Pictures:
Matthew 5:17
I came not to destroy, but to fulfil (ouk ēlthon katalusai alla plērōsai). The verb “destroy” means to “loosen down” as of a house or tent (2Co_5:1).Fulfil is to fill full. This Jesus did to the ceremonial law which pointed to him and the moral law he kept. “He came to fill the law, to reveal the full depth of meaning that it was intended to hold” (McNeile).
Lightfoots commentary of the NT from the Talmud and Hebraica:
....III. He meets with this prejudice here and so onwards by many arguments, as namely, 1. That he abolished not the law when he abolished traditions; for therefore he came that he might fulfil the law. 2. That he asserts, that "not one iota shall perish from the law." 3. That he brought in an observation of the law much more pure and excellent than the Pharisaical observation of it was: which he confirms even to the end of the chapter, explaining the law according to its genuine and spiritual sense.
To fulfill is do to the uttermost. To show the full extant of what GOD had wanted from the beginning. TO magnify the Life in which GOD had intended from the beginning. A life in HIM and HE in us. True righteousness.
It was not their ceremonies and holy days, they were GOD'S. They misunderstood nothing in regards to these. Their sinning was the issue. It was not their understanding of the ceremonies and holy days. The ceremonies and holy days were instituted by GOD through Moses due to their sinning for the most part.
Weren't we in Matt 5? I would like to finish there first; but whatever. The context to the passage you quoted is in reference to the unjust steward. Take a look at the previous verses and pray on it. Let me know what you see. What was the parable really taking into account?
Couple that with, "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."(Luk 16:17 KJV)
This is being said is in reference to the Moral Law; the Decalogue and those contained in the Book of the Law (Moses) that show us what sin is. The ceremonial rituals were mandated by GOD due to our sinning. No need for the ceremonial rituals because Jesus paid the debt and we now take part in His resurrection. We are a New Creature; the Body of Christ, the Temple of GOD. Behold all things have become new and are of GOD! We now have victory over sin through Christ. For it is HE that works in us both to will and do HIS good pleasure. The Law show us what Christ is, true righteousness; the Word. So let's say not in our heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ (GOD's commands and statutes written in the Book of the Law. The Word manifested in the flesh; Christ) down from above Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ (GOD's commands and statutes written in the Book of the Law. The Word manifested in the flesh; Christ) again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word (GOD's commands and statutes written in the Book of the Law; Christ, the Word manifested in the flesh, manifested in our flesh) is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart and in thy hand: (that thou mayest do it) that is, the word of faith, which we preach. And that is the Gospel; the Kingdom of GOD to which we speak. Christ in us the hope of Glory; the Body of Christ; the Temple of GOD. For it is HE that works in us both to will and do HIS good pleasure.
It seems you want to separate the Sabbath from the Decalogue and heap it with the ceremonial rituals. Why?

From the New Bible Commentary we read that Jesus placed the Law alongside the Prophets as finding fulfillment in him. "For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John." (Mat 11:13 KJV)
After John we read, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." (Rom 10:4 KJV)
Further, we read in (Gal 3:24-26 KJV) "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."

Matt. 15:12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
You are preaching falsehoods about God's Word PS. I find it fascinating that doing this doesn't offend you, but someone who loves you enough to show you the error does.
Jesus didn't preach against or apart from God. Your understanding of Matt. 5 has been corrupted by those very people Jesus warned to "Take Heed" of.
Why would you be offended by someone who has shown you a deception you have been tricked into believing? Exactly what part of my post was a false accusation? Did you not just preach to the world that Jesus is talking about Moses in Matt. 5?
And now that you have seen that this is not true according to scriptures, should you not be happy that a deception Jesus Himself warned you about has been exposed? What is it about truth that offends so many people? Jesus already answered this question.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light(Truth) is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
A wise man can accept correction, even if it comes from an ass.
