Greetings.
We go by what Jesus says, [he is the "high priest". That takes precedence over other interpretations of the Bible. What that means is, your interpretation of the Old Testament, religiously, should match what Jesus says. Many churches don't do this, and they take 'different interpretation', 》》then Jesus's religion, and they try to mix it like a salad. Instead of gping by the religious precepts that are from Jesus.
Is there interpretation? Yes, however, that is why we don't interpret the "basics".
Matthew 22:37
John 10:30
1 Corinthians 8:6
2 Corinthians 6:18
Yes, there are some basics that do not require 'interpretation'. They are plain. But even they need to be discussed at times as the basics may differ.
Can't hardly flak your statement that we go by what Jesus says. Of course I agree. But, you still have to pay attention as to who He was talking to. Not everything Jesus said is to you or me. And Jesus said the Old Testament is all about Him. And the whole New Testament is about Him. So all must be considered.
