0:00.0	What did Jesus mean when he said he didn't come to abolish the law or the prophets he came to fulfill?
0:06.0	Does that mean that all followers of Jesus are obligated to observe every law of the Torah?
0:13.7	Hey friends, welcome to the Line of Fire podcast.
0:17.3	So glad to be with you.
0:18.3	This is Michael Brown.
0:20.0	We continue to dig into the words of Jesus, asking God to speak to us, remembering that he said in John 6th, the words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. He said in John 15, if you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask what you will, and it will be

1:39.5	introduction to his disciples, you are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world.
1:43.8	Now it seems the main body of the sermon on the mountain.
1:46.7	This is really important, is from 517 to 712.
1:52.3	517 mentions the law or the prophets, which is shorthand for saying the entire Old Testament,
1:58.7	the entire Tanakh Hebrew Bible, okay? Obviously it wasn't called the Old Testament then, but entire Tanakh, Hebrew Bible, okay?
