text: Christians think that words in the Bible don't really mean what they say, they mean whatever a Christian wants them to mean. Thus, "everlasting" doesn't mean "forever," it means "for a really long time." And of course, Jesus never meant what he said or said what he meant--his words are always open to a wide variety of interpretations. So, when he said that he did NOT come to destroy the law, Christians say that he really meant that he DID come to destroy the law.  They can never take the Bible at face value.
