No, we don't. Christ was speaking of the Mosaic law in Matthew 5:18, not Himself.
Furthermore, He is NOT the Law and was NEVER called the Law by the writers of the New Testament!
{18} For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness {19} (for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. Hebrews 7:18-19 (NASB)
{7} For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. Hebrews 8:7 (NASB)
{13} When He said, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. Hebrews 8:13 (NASB)
(This verse also puts to the lie the view that Hebrews was written AFTER 70AD!)
{8} The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing, {9} which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience, {10} since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation. {11} But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; {12} and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. {13} For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, {14} how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:8-14 (NASB)
Christ IS NOT the LAW!!! He is better than the Law!!! That is the point EVERY WRITER of the New Testament - who writes of these things - makes!!!
I'm sorry, but your devotion to a Biblically bankrupt eschatology is causing you to preach a completely different gospel here, and - quite frankly - I find it offensive.
Me telling you He is the Law and the you telling me He is better than the law, then you respond that you find it offensive i told you He spoke of Himself?
"Noone goes to the Father except through
Me"
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. 4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them." 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, " 'Who will descend into the abyss?' " (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Christ is the Law.
Did the theif on the cross perform the Mosiac law prior to His death? No, yet Christ told Him today he would be in paradise with Him, why? because the thief fulfilled the Law.
Christ became the law, so now if Christ being the way in which we enter before God on the cross, which would make Him become the law, why would you possibly think He would speak in Matthew that not one part of the law would pass until it was all accomplished?
Did the Jews and Gentiles in 40 -69 A.D recieve forgiveness of thier sins for their sacrifices of animals and for keeping the mosiac law or did they recieve salvation through Him entering upon thier hearts as the perfect sacrifice and them accepting Him as thier saviour?
Exactly, the mosiac law as you speak passed with Christ, not 40 or so years later, being of which would be contrary to what the word says in the scripture you provided, nothing of the law would pass until all is accomplished, yet Christ became the better law, He is the Law, and that is what He spoke of in Matthew 5:18.
It wont pass until all is accomplished.
"Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For He has put all enemies under His feet" But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to Him, the the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all."
"there shall be no more death" "the former things have passed away" "Behold, I make all things new"
When death is destroyed, being the last enemy all things shall be accomplished. "But when He says "all things are put under Him" which is when the Law, Christ, the Son subjects Himself back to the Father.
That is Revelation 21:1-4 and 5 signify all things made new.
