Regardless of which translation that you use, He says that "I did not come to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it." He also said, "Do not do as the Pharisees do, but what they say--by this, he meant that they were hypocrites, but that they knew the Law. Does it mean that Christians are under the Law? If they choose not to be under all of the Law handed down by Moses to the Jews, then no they are not under the Mosaic Law. However, I believe, that to us gentiles, we are still accountable for our sin (as are Jews). No one (including Jews)have ever been 'saved' by their performance of the Law (it is impossible.) Were not Abraham, Issac and Jacob all saved before the Law was handed down? We gentiles believe in salvation through the Messiah Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew means Annointed One.) I believe as He says in Romans 11:24 "For if thou were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed into their own olive tree?" Israel is the olive tree. Our sins are paid for by Jesus, but payment is necessary.
