    So when we have love we fulfill the law right. We complete the law. So does that mean after the law is fulfilled it is no longer to be kept?
    We fulfill the law in Christ, when we live our lives for him, when our eyes are on him, we fulfill all the Law in the same way he fulfilled the ceremonial laws he fulfilled all the laws

    Fulfill and Abolish are 2 completely different words and meanings
    Phil4

    8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you

    Exactly. Jesus blotted out the handwriting of ordinances which were the ceremonial laws. That is totally different to him fulfilling the law. To blot out is not to fulfill. To blot out is to destroy or abolish.

    I have a problem understanding this. I understand we are no longer under these laws, that they have been fulfilled. If that means destroy or abolish, what do with

    Matt. 5:17
    Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

    Mat 5:18
    I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.


    Based on these two scriptures, I don't see how you can say any Law has been destroyed, only that they have been fulfilled
