Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."
To destroy the law means badly interpretation, to fulfill means to give a proper interpretation.
“Rabbi I think the passage means this....”
“No student you have destroyed the Torah.”
“May be the text means this Rabbi...”
“Yes that is correct. Now you have fulfilled the Torah.”
Another Note: This was the perfect time for Messiah to say "I have a new thing." Instead he said what he said in Matthew 5:17 How could he change anything, its him!
Fulfilling the Torah is important! We can't live it out if we don't do that!
Yah's Blessings and Shalom!

Re "Matt 5:17":
ReplyDelete“Like Nestor, in 5:17 EB uses להשלים – which is the hiphil (le-haslim). In Biblical Hebrew le-hashlim meant to end, finish, complete, or accomplish. However, the post-Biblical meaning – of Ribi Yehoshuas time – was to submit oneself to, surrender to, or reconcile with something. Nitzakhon Yashan #71 reads אלא להשלים (el’a le-hashlim’; but rather to reconcile).
Consequently, the hiphil in this final phrase of Nestor and EB 5:17 reads: ”Don’t think I came to breach any of the Halakhah [see note 5.17.4 of NHM] of Torah; rather, to reconcile them.””
Quote from Netzarim Reconstruction of Hebrew Matityahu
Regarding the statement “To destroy the law means badly interpretation, to fulfill means to give a proper interpretation.”:
There is no “law” in the original Hebrew. The Hebrew word used is Torah (etymological translation: Instruction or Doctrine).
The proper interpretation of the mitzwot (translation according to etymology: “directives or military-style orders”) in Torah she-biktav (written Torah) is logical Halakhah. Torah commands explicitly that one should follow the mishpat (which are of the beit-din (that is legitimate Jewish beit-din)). Read more in www.netzarim.co.il ; Glossaries; “Mishpat”.
The word Torah is referening to, laws, commandments, statues...Etc...
ReplyDeleteYou are getting hung up on a technicallity.
Netzarim like me believe that none of Torah has been done away with. It is all important!
Netzarim believe that Yeshua Messiah was and is El with us Emanuel. John 1-1 that his was and is Elohim Hashem, YHVH.
