in the old testament YAHWEH has said, "MY WORD ENDURETH FOREVER." "I AM AN UNCHANGING ELOHIM." "THIS IS A COVENANT UNTO MY PEOPLE." "DO NOT ADD, NOR DETRACT FROM MY WORD FOR, MY WORD IS PERFECT." knowing these are direct quotes, why do people still refer to the new testament as truth, and say the old testament has been thrown out? thrown out by whom? how can the new testament be, when HE said,"I AM AN UNCHANGING ELOHIM." "MY WORD ENDURETH FOREVER." forever means, no expiration date. does YAHWEH, not say what he means, and means what he says? the new testament makes YAHWEH out to be a liar. HE is not. there are several question in here. please only educated answers.

YAHWEH said, "DO NOT ADD, NOR DETRACT FROM MY WORD, FOR MY WORD IS PERFECT." the new testament is an "addition" to the old testament. it was added years later, when he said not to add. its a direct contradiction to his living word. YAHWEH, also said he is "UNCHANGING." a concept that is hard for people to understand in an everchanging world, but i digress. is not the new testament a direct contradiction to his word?

Who has ever told you the Old Testament has been thrown out? If anyone has said that, they don't know anything about God. The New Testament is leading up to the appearance of Jesus which is promised by God and His Prophets in the Old Testament. The Jewish do not believe Jesus is the Messiah because they expected Him to appear in a golden Chariot with thunder pounding and Angels singing. It didn't happen that way and if you read the Old Testament you would know that is not God's way. The New Testament is as valid as the Old Testament and sanctified by God.

You wrote "the new testament makes YAHWEH out to be a liar." I agree with you. And so does the OT, because it reflects the ignorant ideas of creationism and a flat, four-cornered Earth where the sun revolves around it.
The truth has never stood in the way of a fanatic's obsession to believe lies and flood answers with biblical quotes that contradict whatever biblical quotes they're arguing against.

The Old Testament, and the New Testament should be looked at as one book. The Old Testament pointed to Christ, the New Testament fulfilled all those predictions in Christ.

Nobody has given us the right to throw out ADONI'S WORD, Old Testament or New Testament. Not even ADONI HIMSELF. YEHOSHUA said "I have not come to do away with the LAW but to fulfill it." That to me does not sound like throwing out any part of ADONI'S WORD.

The New Testament is in existence precisely because of the Old Testament. The happenings in the first chapters of Genesis set the scene for everything that happened thereafter, and why we are here.
The New Testament cannot stand alone without the Old Testament. How many times did Jesus and the apostles qoute from the Old Testament? God cannot lie - therefore His word will endure forever.

People don't believe any of this stuff because it makes sense , they believe because they are clinging to a security blanket like little children do...out of fear and immaturity.

It's "ALLEGORY", about Law(God) vs Grace(God); One only being "the only true God" of false/true Gods, one only being "the only wise God" of foolish/wise Gods, one only being "that God" of this/that Gods, one only being "the living God" of dead/living Gods, one only being "the blessed and only Potentate", one only being "the God of all grace" (no law at all) in "heaven"("higher than the heavens"). The other God is on "high" in the "heavens"; and a dividead God, dividead kingdom thereof, shall fall, to ruin.
As for old vs new, the old is both old and faulty (for if the old faultless, then no need for the new); And what's both old and faulty (law is old, and imperfect) is both "ready to vanish": Heb 8:13 and "shall vanish": 1Cor 13:8.
As for G-d(Elohyim), Yahweh, Jehovah, God on high in the heavens, Allah; these are all (allegoric) names for Law Law.
The God of all grace (no law) make you perfect,
after ye (do err) suffer awhile (in yer law law).
Grace is sufficient (meaneth no law req'd).
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
