Yeah.
Look up "prefiguring" too.
My upbringing and early education did an incredibly poor job of connecting the NT and the OT. I think it's a common problem.
There's lots of other stuff too. Our Bible Study did this neat 'Bible Timeline" video and the guy shows the connection between the Samaritan woman at the well and her "five husbands" and the five pagan groups settled there in 1 Kings. Five husbands (six including her current one). The five pagan "husbands" and her first correct one, Israel.

There's lots of stuff like this, which is important, because it's all supposed to connect. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Im not sure I'm following you. Are you saying God handed the Torrah to Moses already written? I've never heard that. Also remember that Christianity didn't have the new Testemant when Jesus was around. Christians became Christians with only the (what we call Old Testemant) to reject the new you have to deny the prophecies about Jesus, which were fulfilled in the New. Islam contradicts the Old Testemant , and itself...Christianity doesn't contradict the Old Testemant. It reveals it.
From what I have read on some websites that inform people about Jewdisum, yes it seems the Torah was given to them by God.
I guess the biggest problem I have with the bible and the new testament, is to ask why did God need to change and we'll relax the rules like 1000% all of a sudden? Due to Christ, God incarnate, having sacrificed himself? And does that really mean the rules of the old testament no longer apply? The new covenant suggests so to me, so then why do so many Christians quote the old testament when trying to point a finger/point out how something is wrong? Is it still considered to be by the new testament, isn't that what they should be asking?
I suppose I need to go back over things and structure my questions better.
God didn't change, never does, never will. The Messiah didn't relax the instructions of Torah, he expounded them. He said “Do not think that I came to abolish the Torah or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. He added meaning and understanding to Torah, like when He said, you were told not to commit adultery, I say even if you look upon a woman with lust, you are committing adultery. Yeshua (Jesus) is the living Torah! The New Testament helps to reveal the deeper teachings of the Torah.
Yeah.

Thank you for posting that, and yeah the connection of the new and old testament is hardly there for me, I suppose I should start there. Easier said than done though... I'll check out that link you posted. I downloaded a E copy of the Bible and a sample of the Torah that was free...Thursdays payday so i'll buy the actual thing then. Seems so far only a very few small things are different comparing Genesis and the beginning of the Torah.

Seeking the truth in all things is a great aspiration but it's a tough road.
It's important when looking into this to keep in mind the rabbis are just as flawed as the priests.
Also The Torah is not the law but the teachings of Yahweh.
Raised catholic became an atheist because of all the contradictions became born again because life convinced me HE was real rejoined the catholic church because they seemed to have the best answers
Then left the church went on my own journey seeking the truth and am now a Torah observant christian and enjoying life.
I'm happy for you, that's mostly what I suppose I am doing as well. For not just myself but my wife and children. Currently we don't even regularly attend church, we moved to our new house about 4 months ago and the one close by we don't care for. And it just hit me a few days ago how I am failing my kids, myself and my wife in this regard.
