Yes, and the NT is the fullfillment of OT law.

The fulfillment is what Christianity is based on.

If you think Jesus came to earth to preach hatred, death and world domination (like Mohammed did), you're sorely mistaken.

In a sense, Jesus DID preach hatred, death and world domination, but from a purely spiriutal point of view.

My point is that many can look at the Scripture where Jesus says that we are to hate our parents and loved ones, take it out of context and paint Christ as an arbitor of hatred, which He obviously is not.

Mohammed was a wingnut for sure, but to condemn an entire populace on the basis of a selected verse is a litte unfair.

And my post deserved this kind of answer? Where did I intimate that Jesus preached "hatred?" You must have an ax to grind or some other unspoken agenda here.

The Jesus of the "let US make man in OUR image..." Creation is the same Jesus of the NT. Re-read The book of Hebrews. Jesus of the OT is not odds with Jesus of the NT. It is unwise for one who calls himself a Christian to try to draw a distinction.
