NT Scripture is, of course, post Christ's fleshly presence on Earth. Christ did enjoin us to keep the Commandments, among other instructions, did caution us not to murmur at the ways of Providence, and did make frequent reference to prophecies in the OT.

True he did mention the commandments which are common sense anyway.. and other scripture too.. Which had to be done to even relate to the people he was relating too.. meaning rabbi’s and jewish officials.. The “people” mostly didn’t know scripture like the Rabbi’s did anyway.. Having never read scripture.. Especially Talmudic teachings..
Jesus himself was “the Word”.. not what he said but what he did.. As he recounted to John the Baptist.. What am I doing proves Who I am, he said to John.. not what am I saying..
The Holy Spirit is real then and today or he/it is not..
Same thing exists now... same situation..
The Holy Spirit is indeed an “invisible friend” or he is Not..
Many bible worshipers today.. They may deny it but it is true..
Much easier to worship the bible than deal with an “invisible friend”, which could get you called names..
I have an “invisible friend”............ and YOU?..
Second childhood?..... LoL!.... Lets hope!?...
