Did Jesus Contradict, Disagree with, Change, or Break the Law of Moses (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper deals with the arguments made by so-called "friends" of Jesus who labor to demonstrate that Jesus contradicted or broke the Law of Moses--all for the purpose of justifying certain doctrines. Various New Testament passages that have been misused are explained in light of the thinking that Jesus was an Old Testament Prophet and was a teacher of the Law--not a Law breaker.
