there was a reddit user called zerubbabel who commented once that the new testament is evil (of the satan) and that only the old testament is the true word of god. i always thought it's a very intriguing thing to say, but that was his only comment.

Well Zerubbabel is Jewish, no? Jews do not follow the new testement at all and do not think Jesus was a prophet or someone they should follow. THe Old testement is filled with vile things, murder, killings and destroying and plundering villages, taking the women as your booty in the name of God. Killing all on site who have defiled the Jew or sometimes internarried with them. Is this a loving God?

Why do you think when Jesus was talking to the high preists and Pharisees of his time did he say that your God was a murderer from the Beginning?

your God was a murderer from the Beginning

yes, but:

The earliest record of a Sanhedrin is by Josephus who wrote of a political Sanhedrin convened by the Romans in 57 B.C.E

these sanhedrin jews were the creation of the pagan roman system, iow, not proper jews, just roman puppets.

SO, you should test yourself. Read all of the New Testement and see how its morals compare with the characters in the old. The Old is more a history of the Jews, mythological or not with their laws and traditions. Reading it, I said, well they needed a messiah liek Jesus to stop them from destroying and murdering people in the name of God, like the Crusaders did by also using the old Jewish testement as a Christian text. Jesus was their messiah, a loving good, couragous human being, perfect in his ways and who no resides with God as the Son of God.

Many Jews believed Jesus to be the messiah and followed his way. That means Christianity, if Jesus was really the Messiah or simply wanted to show people the law of love was really a Jewish reality. To say a Jew can not be a Christian today, I believe is wrong. Jesus was Jewish, though not a radical Zionist one. So, today, we have Jews who hate Jesus and his way, and Chrsitiandom that kills and pretends to follow his way.

There is a sect of messianic Jews, who believe Jesus to be the Messiah, but both Christians and Jews do not believe they are legitemate.
