The Torah says some things that clash with modern culture, especially on the issue of moral laws regarding sex practices. However, Jesus believed in the Torah and even said belief in the Torah was necessary to receive his teachings. When people dismiss it as man-made writing, it’s because they don’t want to be held accountable for it, but Jesus believed it was God’s word. According to Moses and Jesus, the Torah is God’s instructions written down. God instructed Moses on what to write, and the Israelites were expected to follow it. According to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, all Scripture is “God-breathed,” which means that God inspires people to write about Him. It was the spiritual inspiration that moved Moses, the prophets, and the apostles to write about what God was doing for Israel and with Jesus.
