Aside from the fact that there is no guy named "Yeshua the Christ", John would disagree with you.

1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."

The old and new Testaments dove-tail together so well. Jesus is in every book. I don't see how anyone can consider the OT worthless. That's disrespectful to our Lord and Creator who was there before the beginning.

Fulfill in Greek:

Just as this was done and finished;

KJV Luke 4:21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

He fulfilled that verse by arriving, as he was "sent".
So, HaShem details what He expects from people, then totally throws it out and lets us do us we wish?....

Good grief...And you're a Pastor?....
