Jesus Did Not Abolish the Law. He Made It Stricter. | Dr. Amy-Jill Levine

Most Christians have been taught that Jesus came to abolish the law.

That he cancelled the rules and replaced them with grace.

Dr. Amy-Jill Levine says read the text again.

Jesus did not abolish the law.

He intensified it.

"You have heard it said, do not murder. I say to you, do not be angry."

"You have heard it said, do not commit adultery. I say to you, do not even look with lust."

That is not an erasure.

That is a fence built around the Torah.

And Paul? He never stopped following it either. He called himself a Pharisee until the day he died.

So why do most Christians today not follow Torah?

Dr. Levine lays out the reason in a way you have probably never heard in a Sunday sermon.
