Did Jesus Abolish Jewish Law? Matthew's Surprising Answer

Описание: What if everything you thought you knew about Jesus and the Old Testament Law was wrong? In this video, we examine Matthew's Gospel to discover that Jesus didn't replace harsh Jewish laws with gracious teachings—he actually made them stricter. Learn how the Sermon on the Mount's famous 'antitheses' represent intensification, not abolition, of Torah.

Key concepts covered:
• Matthew 5:17-20 explicitly affirms Torah's continuing validity—"not one letter" will pass away
• The "You have heard... but I say" statements intensify Jewish law (murder→anger, adultery→lust, retaliation→non-resistance)
• Matthew deliberately omitted Mark's "declared all foods clean" statement, revealing his community's commitment to Torah observance
• The "angry Old Testament God vs. loving New Testament God" dichotomy is a cultural myth, not a textual reality
• Different Gospel writers had genuinely different theological perspectives on Jewish law
