It was important to Him to say that he didn't come to change Jewish Law but fulfill it.

The Jews didn't follow Jesus, and aren't going to. In fact, they take offence at the conversion attempts and are actively opposing it and assimilation. What Jesus hoped would be continuation of the Jewish Law, didn't come to be.

He was showing respect for a beliefs system he abided by-- and that is good enough for me.

I am glad for you. Continue your prayers for the state of Israel and leave us sane Christians alone :)

I think we agree on the attempted conversion of the Jews. They probably appreciate the support more than the attention.

You make it sound like Jesus failed in some way. And he didn't come to continue the law, or to refute it in any way, but to fulfill it. I agree with our Catholic host on this one. Don't forget, it ain't over yet.....:)
