How am I supposed to reconcile these two biblical verses?

Jesus says this:

Matthew 5:17-20

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

Saint Paul says this:

Romans 7-4-6

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

How was the police officer able to show him mercy without shedding blood?

Hebrews 9:22

And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

>>7850

The police example was just that, an example.

And its correct that all things were cleansed with blood, the blood of Jesus Christ.

Why dont we keep killing sheeps everytime we sin? Because Christ payed with His blood, perfect blood, perfect sacrifice.

Why did He needed to pay for it?

Because it is a gift. A gift is free for the who who receives, but for the one giving it it cost. Jesus payed with perfect blood and gave us salvation.

There is no need for more sacrifices.

What about all the other aspects of the law?


 No.7856

>>7849

I don't see the contradiction. If you have been saved you have been saved. It's a one time thing.

If you then go on to sin or if you do good works will determine your position in heaven.

>>7856

You don't see the contradiction?

Christ says the law is valid until heaven and earth pass away, St. Paul say we released from the law by Christ's death.

Did Jesus not know what his own approaching death was gong to do?

Is St. Paul the least in the Kingdom of Heaven for teaching us to relax the rules?

(well, he still goes to Heaven at least)

Did you watched the video?


 No.7872

>>7869

Video did not mention either of these Bible verses.


 No.7879

>>7872

But I mentions that Christ meant God's laws, and the other verse meant the ceremonial laws or ot laws.

>>7848

>Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets

>Law of the Prophets

Not the law of whatever government happens to exist at the time. It means the laws of God, given to Moses, Abraham, ect…


 No.7963

He didn't come to abolish the law or the covenant, he came to fulfill them, and fulfill them he did. Think of some other contract, like the mortgage on your house. When you pay it off, it's fulfilled - the contract was not annulled, amended, overthrown in court, or otherwise abolished, and yet you don't have to pay the bank any more.


 No.7983

>>7865

The law is still valid. However we are released in the sense that breaking it will not put you in hell because of Jesus blood sacrifice. The law still remains, it's just you won't go to hell or have to sacrifice animals anymore, if you have been saved.

You have misunderstood Paul, here is what he says in the same book about the law.

>Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

>Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

>But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

>Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

>For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

>Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

>Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

>To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

>Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

>Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

>Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

>Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

>Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

>So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

Read the rest of romans 7 KJV, it explains it.
