When you say that they did not understand that Christ was the end of the law
for righteousness to those who believed, do you realize that you are quoting
one of those Jews who kept the law exactly in the way in which you portray
as lacking understanding? Maybe it is you who do not understand what this
New Testament Pharisee meant when he said, "Christ is the end of the law for
righteousness" (Romans 10:4). You might also notice, for the sake of
accuracy, since you have a proclivity toward proper Greek tense
interpretation, that rather than translating the end of the verse as "to
those who believed," it would be better to say, "to those who are believing"
or "to those who believe."
Now before you blow up at me, JD, please remember that we want to discuss
this in a civil manner. I realize your pride might be wounded by my not
falling into line with your dogma, but we have a difference in perspective
about Torah that should probably be discussed in a civilized manner. When I
read your writings, I think you do not properly distinguish between the
document called Torah, and the covenant of Torah. This distinction is very
important for proper Biblical interpretation. The Torah has not passed
away. It is the covenant of Torah that has found fulfillment and completion
in Jesus Christ.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
