Jesus came to “fulfil” the law. People always try to make that mean we are still under the law.

Amen Sister/ brother. This is actually my ministry on Earth to get off this Old Testament legalism. It is gone. What drives it is “tithing” which is not in the New Testament. The “professional Christians’ ( my term) can’t make their house payments and 401K investments unless you give to THEM “the temple tax “ ( which Christ hated in Matthew 17) as agents for “Gawd”. It is very clear when you view it through the lens of Christ and his atonement for YOUR SINS!! No more legalism or Jesus meant nothing!

'Destroy' and 'Fulfill' Are rabbinic terms - you should know what they mean... Then you might better understand the midrash that follows his statement.
