Don't go too far, brother. You are making a dichotomy where none exists. Are we comparing Jesus to Moses as men? Not at all. There is no comparison. However, when dealing with the Scriptures, we are not talking about the comparison between two personalities, but two truths that must align, if they are true.
This is a fundamental flaw of some people these days. They want to make it all about law and grace, or Moses and Christ, as if these things are separate. But since God wrote all of our theology, and not Moses or Paul, we have to assume that He is continuous in what He is revealing to us.
In other words,, some have claimed that Jesus, in His sermon on the mount, is disagreeing with Moses, or somehow showing the deficiency in Moses' message. But this cannot be, since Christ voiced them both. Moses is not some theologian preaching uninspired words. What Moses brings to us is the very Word of God, which is Christ.
So, for there to be a dichotomy, it would mean that Jesus is speaking out of both sides of His mouth. We know this is not the case. It is difficult at times to keep this in the center of our memory, but we must see it. The whole of Scripture is one. It is not divided between poor theology and rich theology.
Moses instructions in the OT are Christ speaking those words. If we claim anything else but this, we denigrate the inspiration and inerrancy of the Scriptures.
