Jesus was pointless and a farcical melodrama for naught!

Was nothing at all... according to the verse in 2 Chronicles 7:14....

And even according to his very own admission in Luke 16:31...

So... no... Jesus was utterly and totally useless and pointless... and his weekend of BDSM with strapping Italians in domineering uniforms was a farce... especially given that he afterwards hopped onto a cloud and flew up up and away to outer space to sit on two sequined thrones... next to... well... himself according to the trinity doctrine.

Where does it in the English language say "fulfill" means to annul and abrogate?

And yet again... according to Jesus himself in Matthew 5:17-20... the law was and is to be obeyed to the last jot and tittle even more adherently than the scribes and Pharisees do... until heaven and earth are no more (i.e. "passed").

Last I looked heaven and earth are NOT "passed".... so the law is not annulled and has to be fulfilled in the proper meaning of the word not as it is wishfully and wrongly contorted to mean abrogate in order to reconcile Paul and Jesus, despite their messages being arrantly contradictory.
