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

Do you honestly think that I did not know this? Is it possible that I am thinking that the vast majority of newly converted Jewish Christians had no clue as to the larger picture of their decision?
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).
What do you have in mind?
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."
Interesting. Such would present an ontological setting for the truth of the passage. I like it !!!
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.
Just get on with the idscussion and leave me out of it. Thanks.
