Re: Right on
The Bible accounts that Christ said not one jot or one tittle is to be changed until all is fullfilled...End of Old Earth beguinning of New. This sounds like quite a proclomation to those who Believe on Him to take the scriptures serious and not tweek it to fit ones lifestyle. So If you believe in Chirst you'd best take His Advice because He Is Creator and We all Will One Day Answer to give account of ourselves...even those who dont believe on Him...He is just.

Re: Right on
The Saviour of souls is the destroyer of nothing but the works of the devil, of nothing that comes from God, much less of those excellent dictates which we have from Moses and the prophets. No, he came to fulfil them. That is, To obey the commands of the law, for he was made under the law, Gal. iv. 4. He in all respects yielded obedience to the law, honoured his parents, sanctified the sabbath, prayed, gave alms, and did that which never any one else did, obeyed perfectly, and never broke the law in any thing. To make good the promises of the law, and the predictions of the prophets, which did all bear witness to him. The covenant of grace is, for substance, the same now that it was then, and Christ the Mediator of it. To answer the types of the law; thus (as bishop Tillotson expresses it), he did not make void, but make good, the ceremonial law, and manifested himself to be the Substance of all those shadows. To fill up the defects of it, and so to complete and perfect it. Thus the word plerosai properly signifies. If we consider the law as a vessel that had some water in it before, he did not come to pour out the water, but to fill the vessel up to the brim; or, as a picture that is first rough-drawn, displays some outlines only of the piece intended, which are afterwards filled up; so Christ made an improvement of the law and the prophets by his additions and explications. To carry on the same design; the Christian institutes are so far from thwarting and contradicting that which was the main design of the Jewish religion, that they promote it to the highest degree. The gospel is the time of reformation (Heb. ix. 10), not the repeal of the law, but the amendment of it, and, consequently, its establishment.

Re: Right on
Yes the point was that the 10 commandments stand and are not abolished or destroyed. They are to be obsurved today as in the time of Christ and before His 1st. comming. Not one thing is to be changed in that Law. Till Heaven and Earth Pass they shall not change. The law of ordanence that were written by Moses many were done away with, sacrifical system and a few others were nailed to the cross but the Commands of God written with His finger are not to be messed with. 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, "won't be there!" but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
