Recently, I asked a question comparing the observance of 2 biblical commandments from the old testament (OT). Many of the answers I recieved suggested that laws from the OT could be overruled by laws from the new testament (NT). I got the impression that Christians believed that they must only follow the laws from the NT and not the OT.
Later, I looked at someone else's question and it was about creationism and evolution. Many of the responses to that question included references and quotations from Genesis, a book from the OT. This confused me because for my question, Christians said that the value of the OT had been diminished with the advent of the NT. However, when the evolution/creation question was asked, all of a sudden, the OT was intrepreted as a literally accurate scripture that must be followed at all costs.
So,...
What's the relationship between the OT & NT?
If the OT has a law not mentioned in the NT, must it be followed and vice-versa?
