Errr no, if the authors of the OT had knowledge of Christ then why did they not impart that knowledge and skip the prophecy's?
The primary purpose of the NT is prophecy mining the OT.
Again, I'll admit I was probably a bit overzealous with my wording initially. I should have said that I -believe- that to be the primary purpose. I understand many will disagree with me, among those people of the Jewish faith.
I made a statement of theological and spiritual belief, not a statement in attempt to analyze the intent of the original writers of the Old Testament.
My main point was, as a Christian, I do not believe we (Christians) should be using Old Testament laws as an excuse to bully immigrants, especially when Jesus taught us to love our neighbors, and to care for the least of these. He basically taught to be just like the Good Samaritan.
