can i be a christian that follows the laws of the o.t. but still believes in jesus?

Question

god is infinite he does not change therefor the o.t. has to be true

Answer 1

Are you trying to make a joke? The whole "Jesus is Gay" screen name doesn't exactly fit in with your question.

Anywho, as a Christian, you are supposed to follow the Old and New Testaments.

Answer 2

Yes, God does not change, and Jesus did say that not one dot, not one iota of the Law, should be changed UNTIL IT HAS SERVED IT'S PURPOSE.
This is the whole point, much of the OT is about laws that have served their pupose, (dietry, sacrificial, sabbath, cleansing, etc.)

The Jews of Jesus time believed that they showed their love of God by strictly observing minute sabbath, sacrificial and other laws, but God said, "I do not want your sacrifices and holocausts."

Jesus confirmed this when he said the law cannot save us.

I can suggest two Parables of Jesus that deal with this topic, The Patch and the Wine Skin. The old wine skin represents the OT and the new wne represents the NT. The two cannot go together. The torn garment represents the OT and the new piece of material represents the NT, or part of it. The two would not mix.

In both cases, disaster was the result.

Answer 3

The o.t. is true, but it's laws, statutes, and ordinances were all temporary and were replaced by a new and better covenant, and by the church Jesus founded.

Jesus said so himself, on several occasions, and in several different ways.

Your beliefs are in error, and error always leads to trouble.

It's time to get with the program!

Answer 4

G-d gave those laws to the jews. unless you are a jew, you don't have to follow them, and G-d could not care less if you followed them or not. so why would you bother?

Answer 5

Yes, as long as he does not seek to be justified by the law.
