The New Testament's interpretation of the Hebrew Bible is merely an ad hoc attempt to reconcile its differences with the Law given to Moses.

The assertion that the New Testament's interpretation of the Hebrew Bible is simply an ad hoc explanation overlooks the prophetic foundations laid in the Hebrew Scriptures. Long before Jesus' arrival, prophets like Moses indicated that the people of Israel would fail to uphold the Law, leading to their eventual need for a Messiah. For instance, Moses warned that Israel would turn to other gods and break the covenant, which highlights the inherent inability of humanity to fulfill the Law perfectly. This prophetic declaration sets the stage for understanding the New Testament's message of fulfillment through Christ, who embodies the solution to humanity's failure. Therefore, the New Testament's interpretation is not a convenient explanation but a fulfillment of God's redemptive plan as foretold in the Old Testament.
