Sermon on the Mount--Adding to the Law

[Skyler]

What are the arguments for/against the position that Jesus was adding to the law(as opposed to reiterating it/clearing off the pharisaic gloss)?

I'd love to listen to mp3s on the subject, but at this point, I can't. Sorry.

You might find this paper by a Reformed Baptist informative. As to adding to the law, well I haven't heard that before. I have hear that the law of Christ is better than the Law of Moses. I believe the Welty article is about that.

I don't know, but the more I read Matt 5-7 I find myself more wretched in God's eyes.

Thanks for the link. Anyone else have anything to contribute?
