I’m not a christian, but when Jesus said he’s not changing the law he was specifically referring to the commandments. I’m basing that information on the quote you provided. I think his whole point was that those rules weren’t from god, and therefore weren’t laws. The only laws from god were his 10 commandments. Judgment/punishment comes from god, not people.
Where does it that? The “Law” with the big-L there is The Law of Moses.
It’s mat 5. I dropped it up there.
the authors of the New Testament didn’t have basic cultural understandings that Jesus or the Pharisees would have. They made a mistake. Oops.
So now you have people changing the meaning of words to explain how their scripture isn’t a hodgepodge of contradictory statements.
Statements that were written by Greek-speaking people whose knowledge of Jewish scripture comes from translated works and interpreted with broad influence from Greek philosophy.
writing about an illiterate carpenter in Galilee and Jerusalem, who grew up speaking Aramaic and may have learned Hebrew.
And to be perfectly clear…. “Thou shalt not commit adultery” is one of the commandments. It’s the seventh. So even if you’re right and that’s what Jesus was talking about… he still changed the law.

Wait, when did Jesus say adultery is okay? He just stopped someone from being stoned
The law of Moses demands she be stoned, right?
Like it didn’t require they not be without sin to enact punishment.
I should apologize- Magdalene was never identified as the adulteress. Some things still hold over from a fundie upbringing.
