Word of the Day - 12/9/2008

Defeasible

Defeasible means capable of being annulled or terminated.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus countered the false notion that he made the law defeasible.

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." (Matthew 5:17, NASB)
