A recent forum post asserted that Christ's commandments were different than those of the Torah. It had a list of what the poster felt were Christ's commandments. I took that list and found the concepts of what Christ was teaching from the Torah & Prophets. He didn't teach anything different. If he did, he would have been a false Messiah (Deut. 13)

Here is the list if you are interested.
