do the old testoment and the new testoment say differnt things?

Question

how are they alike and how are the differnt in what they say.

Answer 1

No, the Old Testament is the New Testament concealed. The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed, They compliment each other. Neither is complete without the other.

Answer 2

Where is God's truth about our Savior Jesus Christ made known?

This truth is made known in the Bible, the Old Testament, which promises the coming Savior, and the New Testament, which tells of the Savior who has come.

Heb. 1:1-2 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son.

Luke 24:27 Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself.

John 20:31 These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

Eph. 2:20 [You are] built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched-this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

The Old Testament

God wrote His commandments directly for the Israelites (Ex. 19-20; 31:18). There are three kinds of laws in the Old Testament: the moral law, which tells all people their duty toward God and other people; the ceremonial law, which regulated the religious practices in the Old Testament; and the political law, which was the state law of the Israelites. Only the moral law was written into the human heart.

Matt. 5:19
Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The New Testament

1 Cor. 11:25 "This cup is the new covenant [testament] in My blood.

In the New Testament, the Sacrament was a regular and major feature of congregational worship, not an occasional extra (Acts 2:42; 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:20, 33). In Reformation times churches celebrated the Sacrament "every Sunday and on other festivals"

Answer 3

There are things that were changed, but God is the same. The law ended as Jesus and some of the Old Testament prophets predicted it would.

Ephesians 2:15 Through his body on the cross, Christ put an end to the law with all its commands and rules. He wanted to create one new group of people out of the two. He wanted to make peace between them.

Colossians 2:14 He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross.

Galatians 2:16 ...No one can be made right with God by obeying the law.

Galatians 2:21 ...What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!

Galatians 5:4 Some of you are trying to be made right with God by obeying the law. You have been separated from Christ. You have fallen away from God’s grace... The ONLY verse that talks about falling from grace, and they did it by trying to follow the law!

Jesus said he didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. (Matt 5:17) The effect was the same. Once fulfilled it was no longer in effect. The very next verse, Matthew 5:18, looks forward to the time when the law would be set aside. "...Not even the smallest stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law UNTIL EVERYTHING IS COMPLETED."

On the cross, Jesus' last recorded saying, "It is finished," is an important milestone. Because of Jesus life, Satan had been defeated. The law was finished and would no longer stand between God and mankind.

The 10 commandments along with the rest of the law ("commands and rules" from Ephesians 2:15) were "set aside" when they were fulfilled or completed at Jesus' resurrection. We are no longer bound by that law.

Answer 4

The Old Testament was the law, mainly for the Jewish tribes, the law begins with the ten commandments, it also has the books of prophesy prophesying the birth of Jesus, Psalms, is considered poetry books as well as the song of Solomon and Lamentations, the proverbs are wisdom of Solomon. History books, like Kings, Chronicles, Ruth ans Esther, Samuel. SO we have prophesy, poetry, history, law and genealogy. The new Testament is after Jesus was born and how the Christian Church started, the non Jewish people were saved by grace. OLD TESTAMENT IS THE LAW, the NEW TESTAMENT IS GRACE. The book of Revelation is the prophesy for the end of times, which includes the Rapture of the Church and the Armageddon . That is as best and simple I could describe the differences.

Answer 5

Absolutely! The old testament has the 5 books that I'm told is same as the Torah, but then it has history, prophesy, going down to the last days! The new testament has the 4 gospels that let you know about Jesus, each from their own viewpoint. Then the letters from the Apostle Paul to surrounding churches, then the Great Revelation book which gives info that you might need assistance in understanding. Try Jimmy Swaggart on TV for that.

Answer 6

The Old Testament is the history of the earth from its creation up to the end of the Prophets (probably a few hundred years before Christ). The New Testament is the history of the earth from the time Christ was born to a few decades after His death and resurrection. The law in the Old Testament included sacrificing unblemished animals, an eye for an eye, and other religious and cultural laws, sometimes referred to as the Law of Moses. When Christ came and offered Himself as the highest and most perfect sacrifice, that fulfilled the law of Moses and the law of Christ was thereafter to be obeyed (loving and serving others, no more animal sacrifice, etc.) There's a lot more to it, but that is the nutshell version.

Answer 7

m v,
As to the nature of God, the only thing different is that a part of God, for lack of a better example, came to earth and made Himself a man, the man Jesus. That was performed in the virgin birth.

Other than that, as I was beginning to say, they are the stories of the lives of men, the revelations of God including the coming messiah in the Old Testament. The New Testament tells of the coming of that Messiah.

The New Testament goes on to tell about the church.

The Old Testament tells of types and shadows of the Messiah, and the New tells of the fulfillment of the Messiah.

One thing to note here. God does not change His nature, or His attitude from the Old to the New. He rewards faithing, and He condemns a lack of faithing, in both parts of the Bible.

Answer 8

The truth of God is progressive. As such he reveals himself in the Old Testament using pictures and types. The pictures and types all point forward to the coming redeemer promised to
Eve. The coming redeemer is Christ who fulfills the Old Testament. It has been said that in the Old Testament we have the truth concealed in contrast to the New Testament were we have the truth revealed. We have the same God in both the Old and New Testsaments and the same Savior.
what do u think/

Answer 9

The difference is the Old Testament was written to help a specific race of people the Israelites. The New Testament is written to help all people.

Otherwise the message is the same. Love God through voluntary worship and obediance. Love yourself as God made you to be and Love others by treating themfairly and with respect.

Answer 10

Well the new testament is given of Jesus and does not really differ much with exception of the fact that Jesus gave us the grace to get to heaven through believing in him as the savior and asking for forgiveness of our sins. The new testament only removes the mosaic laws that applied to the Jews as the new covenant included the gentiles or the uncircumsized so that they have as much right to enter into the kingdo m of heaven as the Jews.

Answer 11

The old testament tells the story of the way of life before Jesus Christ. The old testament will tell you of certain major and minor prophets namely Moses being a major prophet and Hosea being a minor prophet. Certain books of the Old testament prophecy about Jesus Christ's coming into the world. Read the book of Isaiah and that book will tell you about Jesus coming into the world. The new testament tells you about Jesus Christ actual coming into the world and it tells about the beginning of the church of Pentecost in the book of Acts. It is basically a time period of the life before Jesus Christ (the old testament) and the life after Jesus Christ (the new testament) I could go into a lot more detail but that is primarily the purpose for the two books
