did jesus believe that the old testament was the word of god?

Question

does he say in the new testament that you should follow what is written in the old testamenT?

Answer 1

Absolutely. In Matthew 4:4, Jesus said to Satan:
But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
and that is repeated in Luke 4:4:
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Also read Mark 7:5-13 as well

Answer 2

While He was on Earth, He followed the Old Testament Law of Moses and commanded his followers to do the same.

And yes, He did believe that it was the Word of God, as it was He who gave the Old Testament Law to Moses in the first place.

After His death and resurrection, the Old Testament Law was superceded by the New Covenant in His blood, and the Old Testament Law was done away with.

Answer 3

yeah he did, that's why he said he was the fulfillment of the old testament prophecies. he makes several references to isaiah, jonah, moses, abraham, and others. he reads scripture out loud and quotes it too.
and it does say you should follow the old testament. paul speaks of the "Law" many times over in the bible. while he does say that christ was the fulfillment of the old testament Law, he doesn't say that jesus did away with it. therefore we (at the time he was speaking to jews) recognize sin because we have the Law written on our hearts. making that point, he validates what would become the old testament, but states that christ came so that we might not be convicted by the Law, thus we have grace. he makes this point clear in several verses. also several prophecies, like those found in the book of daniel, have yet to happen, while others of his have.
as to old testament things and acts like sacrafice, i would say no, we should not follow those. the point of those acts were to be a visual symbolic symbol for the jewish people as to what god was going to do for them. that a man (it turned out to be god himself) was going to take the place of mankind, and blot out sin permanently by making an intercession for him. jesus did this and as a result established the grace that man can live by. it is no longer necessary to partake in the lesser sacrifice due to what christ did.

Answer 4

"interior the initiating God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis a million:a million in case you study that verse in Hebrew, there's a be conscious in there (good after God) that would not get translated into English and it is composed of two Hebrew letters. Aleph and Tav. those are the 1st and final letters of the Hebrew alphabet. If one improve into to translate the verse actually and alter Aleph and Tav to the 1st and final letters of the Greek alphabet it may well be Alpha and Omega, therefor examining: "interior the initiating God, Alpha Omega, created the heavens and the earth." "that's finished. i'm the Alpha and the Omega, the initiating and the tip. To him who's thirsty i visit grant to drink no fee from the spring of the water of existence." - Revelation a million:8 The be conscious is the unreadable be conscious interior the 1st sentence interior the bible. The be conscious is Alpha Omega a.ok.a. Yeshua (Jesus) "interior the initiating improve into the be conscious, and the be conscious improve into with God, and the be conscious improve into God. He improve into with God interior the initiating. by him all issues have been made; without him no longer something improve into made that has been made." -John a million:a million-3

Answer 5

He says the New Testament is a fufillment of the Old. And there are more expositions on some messages in the OT by Jesus in the NT for example, the OT says do not kill and Jesus says that anyone who slanders, gossips etc is a murderer. Do not commit adultery in the OT is that he who looks lustfully has already committed adultery.
What else can I say ........................

Answer 6

Jesus quoted Hebrew testament scriptures in his answers when questioned, and said it is written , since Jesus led by example, should we not believe in Hebrew testament scripture?

Answer 7

He did preach that the jews should get back to observing the laws and ways of the old testament.
In the new testament he is quoted as saying "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the prophets"(Mtt 5/17)
This certainly implies it..!!

Answer 8

Yes, the old testament is the word of God. But most of Moses's laws got a symbolic meaning when Jesus died. The law became fulfilled . Today we use it as a ruler to distinguish between right and wrong.

Answer 9

Jesus, is the Old Testament.
The Old testament was a shadow for us to see that the law could not be lived no matter how hard people tried. That we needed something more, we needed Jesus so that the law could be fulfilled. By Jesus living in us, we now are "free" from the law in the old testament and can live by the life within us. He came out of Love to show us we are "LOVED" and because of Him, we are free to love each other.
Remember, Jesus said: "I came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it". By knowing we are sooooooooooooo loved,
and having that love, live inside us, we are "Free" to serve others by loving them. Remember, the greatest love any man could give is to lay down (HIS perfect self) ( life ) take our sin,
and any penalty of sin, and destroy it for us. Who else could love us that much ?? Who else could stand with open arms waiting for us to get to know HIM? Only Jesus.

Answer 10

He was a Jew and at about the age of 12 he took on the learned priests in the Temple in a discussion which rather surprised them. At that age he was doing what many people do
and questioning his faith. The whole point is that he had doubts justs as the rest of us he had fear just like us. He knew pain just as sooner or later we will. The whole point here is that although he is the son of God he went through those things we go through in or daily lives.
