      Jesus was Jewish and a rabbi, He followed the Old Testament and expected you to be like Him.

      The exception is that He is the sacrifice, so followers of Christ no longer need to sacrifice animals to God (as the Jews did).

      Jesus said to follow the law (Old Testament/Torah).

      The Last Supper was a Passover Super.

      This “common knowledge” is an absurd manipulation of the Bible and 100% provably false.

      Jesus, their messiah, says to follow the rules in the OT. Only Paul, a random dude who fell off a horse and had a hallucination, says those are done away with.

      Christians either don’t know because they don’t read their book, or don’t care.

        Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.

      …christians follow the new testament

      When its convenient, christians follow the new testament. When it’s convenient, they also follow the old testament. Christians quite often pick and choose based on what they currently want to believe.

      Ah, but it depends on the context, because a lot of the more restrictive stuff that they want to force on people are sourced in the Old Testament.
