This is a phrase which gets bandied about from time to time on the various
religion related newsgroup.  I find I simply don't understand it.  Logically,
one can do many things to laws, but "fulfill" is not one of them!  One can
obey, disobey, make, retract and a host of other things, but not fulfill.
Clearly something else is meant here, with the usual host of hidden
assumptions.  Clarification anyone?  (Don't give me the narrative.  I
know that!  Explain to me the meaning.)
