       The Torah gives us a good account of the creation of the world and mankind. As a matter of fact, nothing that God said in these books seem mystical, or is blatantly contradictory to what we see around us in the world. In fact, the Torah gives us clues to how the earth was pre-flood, and to how it is today. When reading these books, they make good sense, and they don’t contradict each other. There are no teachings that contradict each other. The book of Job even seems to give us clear pictures of dinosaurs, which is really incredible if one thinks about it. But why not just believe in the Old Testament? Where does Jesus Christ come into the picture? Well, God in the Old Testament through his Spirit predicted through different writers that the Messiah was coming to the earth. Jesus himself said, ““Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished” (Matthew 5:17, 18, ESV).
