I remember in the book of Mat. Jesus said He came not to abolish the laws etc. but to fulfill the prophecy. The Torah was the initial law etc. to be followed and then add the new later after Christ came and spoke.

Jesus followed the Greek Septuagint. Jesus ans the Apostles used the Greek Septuagint. It was translated in Alexandria (285-246 B.C.) This old Testament had these 7 books: (Tobit,Judith, Baruch,Wisdom, 1&2 Maccabees).
Hebrew was a dead language then, so every Jew used the septuagint because Greek was the most common language of the world at the time.

If you are referring to the first five books of the Bible then you might say yes and no. Reason, he said that he came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it and heaven and earth will pass away before one jot or title is passed from the law. He also made mention too of the flood in Matthew 24 when he was explaining to the disciples what his second coming will be like. He taught from it but his death abolished the Moses law Col 2 which was against us Deut 31. Not the ten commandments but Moses law which is separate Deut 31.

He inspired the prophets to write the entire thing! So I would have to say that during His lifetime while He grew up under the Law, that yes, he obeyed the Torah AND introduced the doctrine and dispensation of grace.

Jesus wrote the Torah... He was the most observant Jew... He was, and is King of The Jews. Why would he not follow His own Law... He came to fullfill it.

Yes, and he encouraged his followers to also. Jesus was what in today's terms would be called an "orthodox" Jews.
He was a Jewish settler from the West Bank.

Yes and he quoted from it. He broke two commandments according to the Torah:
Healing and doing good deeds on the Sabbath
Blasphemy: claiming he was the Son of God--the Messiah

Of course, He was a Jew, a very religious Jew, which we know if for no other reason, from when Mary and Joseph couldn't find Him, because He was discussing religion with the rabbi's in the temple.

He was the highest kind of Rabbi (or teacher of the Torah) which means he had to have the entire Genesis to Malachi Old Testament MEMORIZED, which ya, is a ton... but being a Rabbi, He was allowed to shed light to new ideas of translating the Old Testament, He still followed it, of course, but that's why He would say stuff like "You have heard it said....but I say to You..." cuz He was allowed to say, hey, this is wut it says, and this is wut it means. the Bible also says He did not come to destroy the law (the Torah) but to complete it.
