Christ claimed that he fulfilled the Old Testament while openly disobeyed its laws. Here this paradox is explained.
Here many fathers work abroad. They usually authorize the eldest son, when mother is weak. One such stern soldier father commanded son to regularly discipline the delinquent younger one by the rod. But the eldest was wise to know that such punishment will permanently harm. So he disobeyed and tried to discipline him by love and patience. It took time and father was angry. But he succeeded at length. Father understood that the eldest was the most obedient even when he disobeyed his command. The command of the heart over rides the command of the mouth.
Here are two disastrous examples of obeying commands literally.
Here often angry parents orders children to leave home or even commit suicide.
Near my house a Christian family lived with their two teenager sons. The youngest was spoilt. One day in a fit of anger mother ordered him to leave home. The boy obeyed and they could find any trace of him. She resolved that if he does not return by Christmas she will suicide. On that day she poured kerosene on herself and ignited. Husband tried to save but he was also burned. Both were buried on the same day in the same grave. The lonely eldest now lives a melancholy life. Often such happen here.
In the Ramayana epic the hero Ram obeyed the forced will of his father to banish himself. As a result his old father died due to grief. That misdeed pursued Ram throughout his life and he died by suicide.
If any command goes against love, obeying it will surely harm both parties. We can see that all around.
Jehovah ordered Jews to loot and massacre their neighbors. When Jews angered Jehovah it was the opposite. By this, neither the Jews were reformed nor their neighbors. Rather they became their permanent enemy everywhere still now. So, Romans banished them from their homeland for about to millenniums.
If Christ would not have saved a remnant of them by disobeying Jehovah’s laws by love practice, which established Christianity, Jews would have been scattered and wiped out. Actually Christians loved and reinstated them as Christ was a Jew. So, Christ benefited Jehovah (an unity of some angels) most by disobeying.
Love is God, uniting everything from atom to universe, from soul to association of souls in family, society, Nation, paradises etc. Even devils’ root of existence is his internal love bond. But they hack away that love bond by pride. When that bond is totally destroyed they are also destroyed.
So when we obey spiritual love we really fulfill all types of laws and commands, even those of our worldly lord devil, while disobeying literally. Love-god loves the devil too and we should also while disobeying.
