In another thread it was asserted that all the rules in the Old Testament have nothing to do with Christianity. Now don't get me wrong I think it's great that people are ignoring the Old Testament a lot of it is horrible, I wish they would disregard the New Testament as well. What I don't understand is how someone can disregard The Law in the Old Testament when Jesus tells them to follow it and still call themselves a Christian.
Matthew 5:17-20
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Keep in mind that in the bible jesus himself breaks torah repeatedly, which is one reason the pharasees are always on his case in the bible. This also shows the petty nature of the man, who insults and attacks all enemies and critiques of him, rather than loving his enemies, as can be seein in the mathew 5:17 quote. He heals on the sabath, he kills fruit tree's for not bearing fruit Out Of Season, etc etc. According to the hebrew bible (OT) this is enough to identify him as a false prophet. (Deut. 13:1-4). Some christians will claim he came to fulfill a law or laws, but they can't say what that law is or how this is accomplished, so this is said out of utter ignorance. Laws cannot be fulfilled, contracts can, a type of law, but jesus fulfilled no covinants in the bible. Saying one can fulfill law is like me explaining to a highway patrolmen that it's okay that I was speeding this time because I already did the spead limit on the road and thus fulfilled the law. And I might remind you that jesus in no way fulfilled the messianic prophicies, so the entire christian notion that he is somehow christ (christ being a greeko-roman translation of messiah, meaning annointed one, thus christ and messiah are interchangable) is false. Jesus was no more the messaiah than you or I.
