Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Torah about 'An eye for an eye' and Christ came up with the Golden Rule? Again, coming from an ignorant standpoint, are there passages in the New Testament where Christ says one way or the other if the Torah should be scrapped or if it just needed some adjustment?
I can understand the political/social reasons for including the Old Testament. You are going to get a lot more converts from the existing Jewish population if you give them something familiar like Moses and Job than if you tell them, 'Look, we're not doing any of that old stuff any more. We're doing this new thing now.'
