Mustafa, I also wanted to add this, you are such a gentlemen in your posts
over the last few months and I appreciate your conscious effort to be so
respectful and articulate your thoughts so carefully and precise, it does
become you and adds a touch of grace and humility that I think we all should
strive for.

Hello.

I appreciate everyone trying to explain.

You all sound genuine in your attempts to express your point, and I quite
appreciate that.

Let us not forget that the text of Matthew is uttered by Jesus, whilst the
text of acts is uttered by others.

My question to Brandon was, can somebody else abrogate what Jesus said he
comes to fulfill?

I want now to comment on the point that sister Linda articulated, because it
is a quite interesting one.

Thank you so much Linda for conveying your contribution, I really appreciate
it.

I believe I competently comprehend English.

I never heard of  replace being the synonym of fulfill.

I am not sure though, do we write  English properly here?

Fulfill is interpreted as replace?

 I am afraid but I believe that such interpretation is lingually incorrect.

It does not work from even the metaphorical standpoint.

Fulfillment is to bring an action into completion and fruition.

Whilst replacement is the permutation of something by what equates it in
either its value or significance.

Without being offensive, but I think we need to interpret things in
according to the common sense.

I never claimed I am expert in the Bible.

I am just countenancing my rational standards to determine the sequential
relationship among concepts and their based statements.

If the Mosaic laws were abrogated by the teachings of Jesus, does that
include the condemnation and the decisively prescribed penalty of lapidation
regarding the trespass of homosexuality?

So to be really crystal clear;

Is that dietary tradition which is abrogated or the whole covenant?

I believe we have instigated  a valuable scrutiny, and I am certainly
intrigued to carry on.

I so much enjoy and I quite benefit from constantly interacting on the faith
talk list.

I attentively follow the daily articles of brother Paul, and I learn quite a
lot from the well written essays he posts.

I like the level of English he uses there.

I have been a member of the  list since last August.

I have been tremendously exposed to the Christian devotion and earnestness
about their faith.

I believe we will continue to wholeheartedly disagree on the core of what we
believe.

I hope we continue to do so, whilst showing empathy, honor and respect to
each other.

I suggest that we may schedule  a regular meeting on Skype, in which we can
discuss faith related subjects.

We may seek for mutually agreed upon subjects to begin with.

I am sure we can think of many.

It is faith that brought us together.

Thank you.

Peace, blessings, and much respect from me.

Mostafa.
