It hasn't been nullifed at all.
First, there are several religions and sects that follow the Old Testament that don't follow the New Testament.
Second, most printings of the New Testament do include the same text as what's called the Old Testament.
Finally, "they" can print anything they want. At least in the US. That's the nature of te 1st Amendment.

I don't know where you get your info to formulate your questions, but I would say that the New Testament serves as a continuation of the Old Testament, think of it like "Chapter 2".
There is a whole lot more to the O.T. than just 'law'. Unfortunately, the majority of religious leaders today ignore the O.T. and focus solely on the N.T., which is only half the story and therefore only provides half the understanding.

It's a lot like why there is still a 1960 version of the film "Psycho" since the 1999 Anne Heche version came out.
What I want to know is, why does America still have a US Constitution and a Bill of Rights since George Bush nullified them? After all, "it's just a god*amned piece of paper."
Maybe the answer to all three questions is "nostalgia."

The 10 Commandments are in the Old Testament, and they haven't been nullified.

So we can feel and understand what it was like at that time. I am currently reading the old testament (book of leviticus) and it is interesting to see how they lived in those times. If you really want to understand it then get the extreme teen bible. www.extremeforjesus.com

How does the NewTestament nullify the Old Testament?
Do you view them as contradictory?

I hope they never stop printing the old testament with the new, sheesh, the new testament alone can't possibly serve as s doorstop.

nullified?!?! are you kidding? just because the new testament came along doesn't mean they just forgot about the old testament. it was the basis of religion buddy
