Quote: We as humans are under human law and so a legal payment would mean that God must become man to legally pay for human sins, and he did.

[b:04f2c11d15]Matthew 5:17-20
Do not suppose that I came to do away with the Law of Moses and the Prophets. I did not come to do away with them, but to give them their full meaning. Heaven and Earth may disappear, but I promise you not even a period or a comma will ever dissappear from the Law. Everything written in it must happen.
If you reject even the least important command in the Law and teach others to do the same, you will have the least important place in the kingdom of Heaven. But if you obey and teach others it's commands, you will have an important place in the kingdom. You must obey God's commands better than the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law do. If you don't, I promise you will never get into the kingdom of Heaven.[/b:04f2c11d15]
