Bible Question: However, Jesus while is quoting the OT, this is the New. Therefore, for those think the Old is done away, if it is quoted in the New, does it apply?

Bible Answer: Depends on your theological bent.

If you are a certain flavour of dispensationalist, Jesus was under the Law so a number of things he said does not even apply to us in the "Dispensation of Grace". If Paul or the epistles qoute the O.T. then you can say it applies to the life of the N.T. beleiver.

If you are a reformist (Not all reformist think alike), the Law has application in the life of the believer. What the reformist must do is look for timeless principles that transcend culture and can be applied to God's people in all times.

There is a very good book produced by the Point Counter Point series titled "5 Views of the law: How does the Law apply to a Christian(Not a complete title and frankly it is paraphrased somewhat. A good church at Christianbook.com will bring up this book).

5 authors from 5 different camps explain their position and attempt to refute the other authors explanation. The one thing this book taught me is, there is no easy, concise explanation. In enjoyed reading the book and immediatley was able to discard 2 of the five views presented. The one thing I liked about the book, was each camp spoke for themselves. It was not a dispensationalist writing a book on why reformed theology is bad.

Hope this helps
