Those critics of the Bible who have endeavoured to throw doubt upon the authenticity of the Old Testament by raising the cry: "Do we follow Moses or Christ?" would be well advised to study the Bible more, particularly the words of Moses and Jesus, and they would find that it is not a question of “Moses OR Christ” at all, but rather "Moses AND Christ" because they are in absolute harmony one with the other. Jesus said that He was the "Truth"-[John 14:6] so when He ratified "the Law" and the "prophets" in every jot and tittle, [see Matthew 5:17, 18]; He set the SEAL OF TRUTH on the writings of Moses and the Prophets. Just a few hours after His Resurrection from the dead, He said, in effect, that anyone who did not believe the Old Testament was a fool. Let us read the exact words:....Luke 24:25-45. "Then he said unto them, 0 fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the "prophets have spoken:" "Then beginning with Moses, and all the prophets, and the Psalms,He expounded unto them in ALL the Scriptures the things concerning Himself". Paraphrasing Jesus, "You are a fool if you do not believe the writings in the Old Testament" - thus did He set the "Seal of Truth" on it - and do not let us ever forget that the Old Testament was the only Bible there was when Jesus was on the earth. The New Testament had not then been written.
