Jesus didn't 'throw out' the OT, he simply fulfilled the Law...
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Though He was born as a 'Jew', the Jewish religion was based more on customs of which Jesus did not agree with. Jesus was/is the Word, He is what truth is based on. He himself is not of any 'religion'. Religion is a belief system, Jesus does not need to 'believe' in anything, He KNOWS truth because He IS the truth.
I must remind you of one simple fact...
the bible is NOT the 'word of GOD'!
It is words written by humans just like every other book i.e. "GOD" does NOT write books
Excuse me, but how do you figure YOU can speak definitively to what God does and does not do? You talk to Him on the phone recently or something?
I DO hope you're not going to give us that pedantic, childish argument about "it was a human holding the pen, so it was a human who wrote it", because any secretary can happily tell you about the practice of dictation and trascription.
We can easily prove that The Talmud, Quran, & bible were all written by HUMAN HANDS...
We can NOT easily prove that The Talmud, Quran, & bible were transcribed from "GOD" via ESPN
some people choose to have 'faith' that any one or all are the actual words of "GOD"
"GOD" gave us everything in the universe so since "GOD" gave us humans then sure one could make the indirect argument that a book was 'from GOD' but that argument would also mean that ALL BOOKS ARE FROM "GOD" bc all books are written by HUMANS! But of course, the religious extremists don't want to hear that simple fact. Rather than believe in the reality before them that the books they follow were written by HUMANS who made mistakes just like all humans do they'd rather believe every single word is the 'perfect word from GOD'.....well that is a nice Utopian fantasy...just like Santa Claus!
