Doesnt that mean that God gave His word to Moses, a man who sins?
Why did God chose to send so many prophets before Jesus ?

Note: I personally dont think prophets had sin in their nature. God would not give the responsibility of passing His words to men who could sin. Therefore Jesus' sacrifice was a story made up by humans.

They are called ForeRunners.....
Now lets look at it.....Moses had the written word.....Elijah had the healing power......Elisha had a double portion.
John the Baptist had the preaching.....But guess what JESUS had IT ALL!!!!!!!!!! Glory to God.......AMEN!!!!

I think God has sent Prophets so that each one could give us a specific message at a specific moment in time. Jesus was sent to save our souls by forgiving our sins and blessing us with eternal life. No man before Jesus was free of sin. That´s way God sent his only son, that came in his image - perfection.
In order for man to be granted access into Heaven through the forgiveness of sins, God sacrificed his only son to save us - because God loves us that much. There are still Prophets after Jesus to continue delivering God´s messages.

Yes, I do believe that Jesus is the way to salvation, because the Bible states this to be true, and I believe every word that the Bible has, from the front cover, to the back cover.
God chose Moses to receive the Law. This law as well as the prophecies through the many prophets before Jesus was born as man, was fulfilled at His birth, through His life, especially His resurrection. Even now, through events that are happening, God is fulfilling the many prophecies.
God chose to send many prophets before Jesus, to build anticipation to the people for the coming of the Messiah.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to email me.
.....just read your addtional notes to your question. With respect for your opinion, I must state here that you are wrong. All men (people) sin, except for Jesus. The prophets did sin. The bible even tells of their sins. No one has come before God with perfection except for Jesus Christ. That is why He was (is) the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Remember, the penalty for sin is death. This is why Jesus died for us. One death, from One who is perfect and Holy...and God's only Son.........to bring salvation to the world! It is great that you are seeking and searching answers. I did the same before I fell to my knees before Christ. Again, email if you have any questions.

So that we would know Jesus when he came. I don't understand the question about Moses, what does that have to do with going to God through Christ? When Jesus healed folks (who sinned) he told them to go out and tell people what he had done and what they had seen. Now isn't that spreading the word of God's power through those who sin?

What are you talking about?
Everyone is a sinner.
God chose so many Prophets to tell people about the coming of Jesus.

it like a father with a big family he teaches the oldest to do good and his best. and then next born is taught the same
remember we were born into sin. So everychild is protected by the father and only ask to do what is right. And fathers will often use the brightest or the child that strayed away but found his way back home as examples. I hope this helps.
I wish you many blessings

Before Jesus's arrival on health there were plenty of prophets. Isaie announced the arrival of a Messie who is Jesus. And according to all the predictions Jesus is the Saver. .

Jesus is the Word, or has so been characterized. He gave the Word to the entire earth, not just to the OT prophets. By the way, they were there to pave the way for the Word.

God gave his word to all mankind - it is the Bible. The Bible says he gave his message to us while we were yet sinners. God sent prophets because so many times his chosen people strayed away from his rules and teachings. The prophets often reminded or warned the people about God's laws and asked them to change their behavior.
