Yes, full of prophecies about the Messiah.

The OT prescribed external cleansing by Law.

The NT requires us to be clean on the inside by Grace.

These are two different religions, but Christ was born through the lineage and history of the OT.

The god of the OT loves the smell of burning flesh and the shedding of blood — the OT god requires sacrifice, as debt is always the result of legalism. The OT god only accepts blood and death. The OT god tried to make a deal with Jesus by offering him the kingdoms (legalist institutions) of earth.

Humanity was held in bondage by legalism (this is what we chose and the deal we made in the Garden at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, law)— we were held ransom by the god of this world. Hostages. The only hope for redemption was a sufficient payment. This is why Christ came, to pay the ransom. Not to His Father, but to the counterfeit “god of light.”

Our Father is Love and Grace. This has always been His character. He never delighted in the spilling of innocent blood or burning flesh. The evil done to His son on the cross did not satisfy His anger or make Him happy.

Hebrews 8:13 says “ By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.”

The Law is Love. This is how Jesus recast things when asked what is the greatest command.

Exhortations are not the same as Laws.

New Testament values are grace and love.

Judaic values rest on legalism.

The whole New Testament is about the antidote to legalism, found in Jesus.

Don’t expect regular people to write like the media professionals. They write that way to appear intellectual and above it all. I’m more inclined to believe regular peoples’ testimonies.

Ads pay for the overhead. It’s the price of free speech broadcasting.
