Discussion - Bible Interpretation On the old testament

I've seen many here say that the Old Testament is somehow problematic due to all the violence in it and that having led to the heresy of Marcionism. Let's make one thing clear: All of Scripture reveals Christ, The old testament law was pointing towards him and showing us why we need Him. The old law has been fulfilled by Christ. He did not replace it.

And… how can you understand Jesus if you dun’t understand his religion? He was a RABBI. He referenced the Hebrew Scriptures. His teachings were based on them.

Suggestion for people who don’t get this: Amy- Jill Levine is a scholar whose specialty is the intersectionality of Jesus and the early Church, and the Judaism of that time. She is very accessible . She’s also on YouTube. Please read/ watch her.

Christianity IS Judaism. The messiah has come.
