Is Christ Really The End of Te Law?

Another Look at Telos in Romans 10:4 As you shall see, there are few Pauline statements more controversial and challenging than Romans 10:4, specifically the meaning of the word telos. The verse has traditionally been rendered,

For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Some say, For the goal at which the Torah aims is the Messiah. Others prefer new beginning. Still others offer, For Messiah is the end of the Torah, that everyone who has faith may be justified or Messiah is the culmination of the Torah so that there may be righteousness for everyone believes.

Here, as the title indicates, we will consider what interpreters have been saying about this verse over many years and then offer our conclusion.
