Did They Write About Jesus in the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms?

In Jewish Legend: The Jewish legends in regard to Jesus are found in three sources, each independent of the others(1) in New Testament apocrypha and Christian polemical works, (2) in the Talmud and the Midrash, and (3) in the Life of Jesus (Toledot Yeshu‘) that originated in the Middle Ages. It is the tendency of all these sources to belittle the person of Jesus by ascribing to him illegitimate birth, magic, and a shameful death.Vol. VII, Page 170: "The Jewish Encyclopedia"

But it was that very Oral History, the interpretations of the Talmud that Jesus was discussing so very often. For example, the very first book (and there are books) of the Talmud concerns the Sabath, what exactly can and cannot be done, what qualifies as work, which was the very point Jesus was disputing when healing on the holiday.
The Talmud has always been the arbitor or behavior covering everything from hygene to fire fighting.

To say that the Talmud is not Scriptural is to lose much of what governed the day to day life, thinking and religion at the time of Jesus.

Yes, but since Jesus was objecting to many of those rules of behavior that are given in the Talmud and practiced by the Jews of His day, this shows that He did not regard it as scripture, as He would not object to scripture, which came from God Himself.

The Jews regard it as given by God but Christians don't and Jesus didn't. He criticized the Pharisees for their Talmudic views which He called "traditions of men" that were not in the spirit of scripture.

In mainstream Christianity there are no more apostles.

There were only the original apostles chosen personally by Jesus.

you're probably right.

He seems to have been influenced a lot by hellenistic ideas, so he probably was exposed to Greek culture early on, even if he was of Jewish origins.

Isaiah 7:12 (NIV)
But Ahaz said, "I will not ask, nor will I test the LORD!"
7:13
Then Isaiah said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?
7:14
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
7:15
"He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.
7:16
"For before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken.
7:17
"The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria."
7:18
In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
7:19
They will all come and settle on the steep ravines, on the ledges of the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes and on all the watering places.
7:20
In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.

7:22

7:23
And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.
7:24
People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.
7:25
As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

Isaiah 8:3
Then the LORD said to me, "Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
8:4

8:10

purpledawn writes:Please share the verses where Jesus spoke of following the spirit of the law and not the letter.

NIV writes:Matt 15:4-11= For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.' But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,' he is not to 'honor his father' with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
"'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

NIV writes:Matt 15:17-18= "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.'

NIV writes:Matt 22:37-40= Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Arachnophilia writes:it's been seeming to me as if christianity as a whole doesn't sit very sqaurely on it's jewish foundation. there's a lot of misrepresentation, misunderstanding, and just general deciet and misuse of jewish scripture. I know that at some point, the christian church decided to break away from judaism, but this is a bit outrageous.

Faith writes:There were only the original apostles chosen personally by Jesus.

Arachnophilia writes:that doesn't include paul.

NIV writes:Acts 9:4-6= He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
