Jesus Christ came to Earth to deliver the message of the New Testament. True or False ?

Question

If true why do christians always refer to the Old Testament to support their arguments ?

I asked the question "deliver the message of the NT" not physically write it himself

Ok Rabag lets see some resorces for that research.

Gospel means "Good News" that sounds like a New Testament

Conundru - very smug. Is the son Jesus Christ or Mohammed

Scootere.. - the Ford Model T lead to most other cars.
You still driving the Model T ?

It really Is hard to get this accross.

THE MESSAGE - not the sanitised document.

Goofy - like the good debating points.

But wouldn't that make you just "new age" Jews ?

Jadore7 .. yes it is all in the bible.
Stoned to death for mentioning Jevoweh or Praise the name of the the Lord.

An eye for an eye or turn the other cheek

Send a sinner to where he belongs or your God may judge you

Answer 1

Mostly true! But I do agree still with the answer below that Jesus was the message, indeed he was the message of the new testament.. A new testament of real experience with God, of forgiveness, love, support, etc etc etc...

We refer to the old testament coz it mirrors the new.. Coz it shows that Jesus was the fulfillment of God's promise, it explains the reasons for Jesus to come and shows how prophets have been waiting for him throughout years and years.

Answer 2

he's a conglomeration of alternative non secular myths. working example, the 'do unto others as you will possibly have performed unto you'...that replaced into an element of Hinduism for many 1000's of years in the previous Christianity even began. Oh, self-sacrifice replaced into no longer a sparkling concept in any respect (in connection with teaching the disciples to 'turn the different cheek'). There are some books concerning the similarities between the JC character and different mythological christs. One is named 'one thousand different Christs' through Christopher Hutchins. relatively, it is relatively very like the story of Mithra, which replaced into reminiscent of Zoroastrianism. So, no person 'created' the story out of skinny air. Edit: Jeanconn...-there is definitely no longer something cutting-edge written approximately him. each and every little thing i've got seen or learn as 'evidence' replaced into the two plagiarized or the meaning is twisted to healthful a pre-conceived concept that there replaced right into a JC.

Answer 3

He came to ratify the covenant that He had already made with Abraham and with the children of Israel because mankind had broken that covenant.

A covenant at that time required the death of the person who broke the covenanent. God himself, as Yahshua Messiah, came to earth and paid that price for all mankind so that if they should repent and return to Him then they redeemed.

This is what is meant by grace being a free gift. You and I do not deserve this unmerited pardon, what we deserve is death, but God Himself paid the death penalty for us. He is our Salvation and our redeemer as well as our God and King.

This does not mean however that you do not have to obey. To accept His pardon and continue living as one did before is to make Messiah a minister of sin which He is not and you put He and His Father and the Holy Spirit to open shame and that will not be forgiven you.

So no. He did not come to deliver the message because he had already given the message before. Yahshua said nothing new. How could He? He is after all the same Yesterday, Today and forever.

Answer 4

The Old testament and new testament work together as one canon of inspired scripture. We know God through the OT and understand much of the NT by being familiar with the OT. By a Christ follower's view, the OT is part of the Bible. This is the message God gave to man so that man could know Him.

Hope that helps

Answer 5

False Jesus came to pay for our sins and he left us a gospel so we would know the way, now the four evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John related His life and death, then you can read the letters Paul wrote to the seven churches and then come other books but Jesus didn't came to deliver that message, there was not even a bible (as a single book) before the third century AD.

Answer 6

Jesus Christ came to save the sinners. It was written in New Testament. Both Testaments are important. We can not ignore any one.
Because:

New Testament is "ENFOLDED" in the Old Testament, and the Old Testament is"UNFOLDED" in the New Testament.

SO WE NEED BOTH.

Answer 7

All biblical law is from God, Jesus father.
Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Law as the law was a tutor leading to the Christ.

While Jesus was alive he inaugurated a new covenant, this was for the Kingdom.

The purpose of Jesus human life was purely to offer himself as a ransom sacrifice for the rights that Adam lost for both himself and all of his offspring.

His life course also gave us a model to follow.

Answer 8

The Old Testament is the foundation on which Christianity is built. The Jews are the root and we are the branches. We never forget that we were grafted onto the tree...the whole Old Testament is pointing to Jesus as their Messiah...they miss it for the most part,,because they were looking for a King and he came as a meek and lowly man....which was also foretold in the Old Testament....

Jesus came to call all sinners to repentance and to the saving power of his blood that he shed on Calvary....

Answer 9

If you ever read the Gospels, almost anything Christ said was from the OT! In fact, that's all the Bible they had back then. Christ didn't come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. Christ came to Earth to pay the penalty for our sins and show us the Way. If you read the books of the NT, you will find that the Gospels are all eyewitness accounts of Christ's ministry on Earth; the epistles are letters from these eyewitnesses and those who are approved by eyewitnesses, and they constantly refer back to the OT. The book of Revelation is all imagery from the book of Daniel in the OT. You cannot escape the OT in the NT. They are one.

Answer 10

Jesus came to save mankind from the bondage of sin. The New Testament is just that... a testament, a witness to the Good News of the New Covenant.

1 Cor. 15:1-4
I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
