Yes, because it is meticulous Jewish Law. Jesus completed the law and we can now live freely in grace. He is all we need to be saved.

Definitely!
The Torah (some people say Old Testament) is the only "book" that we learn by. The NT is a book that has been rewritten from the Original Torah/Tanakah and the words have been "warped" and "twisted" to fool people into believing things that are just not true - and never were.
It's been said that the NT was written after the time of chr*st.
Some of the New Testament was written for a non-Jewish audience, some time after the events they describe.
Scholars of textual criticism have suggested that some things that were said or done, which were clear in meaning to Jewish contemporaries, would not have been quite as clear to the later Gentile authors or readers.
They further suggest that these later Gospels were a selective account that interpreted Jesus' life so that it would be less threatening to the Roman authorities and more congenial to Gentiles.
New Testament authors may have displayed religious or theological prejudice against Jews who remained followers of Judaism rather than become Christians, particularly since Jews claimed to be the heirs to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob's covenant with God; heirs to the covenant of Sinai; and followers of the sacred scriptures -- the very sources of Christian legitimacy.
Once Christianity established itself as a new religion, Christians were no longer of particular interest to the Jewish leadership. But as long as Jews claimed to be following the same Bible that Christians believed prophesied Jesus's messianic status, they necessarily threatened Christian claims.
Moreover, the fact that Jews did not recognize Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, was an implicit threat to the legitimacy of Christianity and something that Christians felt the need to explain with apologetics, as Paul did in Acts 26:2.
The famed commentator Rashi (11th century France) offers examples of how the addition or deletion of a single letter can lead to a blasphemous or heretical reading of the Torah -- i.e. a mistake that could destroy the entire world.

Absolutely- they are strong. compelling and make sense. the New testament is just weak, washed out and comes across like somebody was fed up with doing what they had to and were looking for a way out to make their lives easier.

Kind of. The Old Testament had a lot going on with entire populations who were taken out. Jesus promised to take entire populations out though. So there isn't going to be much difference when it all shakes out.

The old testament times were where man was under the time of God's law, but when Jesus came, the time of grace came to pass.

The teachings of J. Krishnamurti are a lot more powerful, and they make a lot more sense, too.
