Jesus Kept the "Law" - Part 15

[Meshelemiah]

Yes, I know, I have skipped other parts. I will post them later but this one was worth it. It is the NT argument using the words of Paul:

Col 2:14  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Col 2:14  Blotting out^G1813 the^G3588 handwriting^G5498 of ordinances^G1378 that was against^G2596 us,^G2257 which^G3739 was^G2258 contrary^G5227 to us,^G2254 and^G2532 took^G142 it^G846 out of^G1537 the^G3588 way,^G3319 nailing^G4338 it^G846 to his cross;^G4716

G1813 "Blotting out"

ἐξαλείφω

exaleiphō

ex-al-i'-fo

From G1537 and G218; to smear out, that is, obliterate (erase tears, figuratively pardon sin): - blot out, wipe away.

 

Reading the verse using the "plug and play" method:

 

Col 2:14  PARDON THE SIN of the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

[Yirmeyahu]

Years ago I saw a website that had a good interpretation of this verse.  The typical Christian understanding is that the law was abolished (nailed to the cross).  This person suggested that the list of every person's sins were nailed to Yeshua's cross.  The implication being that the Law is not necessarily abolished but our sins are forgiven.  The handwriting in Yeshua's case had only one tort.  "This is Yeshua of Nazareth, King of the Jews".  It appears that his only sin was to be king of the Jews.  To this utter lack of sins gets added all the sins of beliving humanity, nailed to Yeshua's cross.
