Not the books, but the actual covenant.

OT: God is angry! Grrr!
NT: God is love! Awww!
I paraphrase a little, of course.

In the old testament men could have wives, concubines and virgins in an unlimited amount and still be a prophet but in the new testament, the gay factor stepped in. Jesus have 12 guys around him all the time- at least that's what they teach. Did u ever notice that none of them had wives. Later down PAUL said women should stay silent in the church and now innocent boys have been victimized by this doctrine.

The Old Testament was about the fall of man and the New Testament is about redemption.

Well the Old Testament is basically a book of History and how the Jews lived before Christ. When Christ died for our sins it was he ultimate sacrifice from God so as long as webelieve in him as our Lord and Savior we are fine, The Old Covenant was based on laws and actions such as sacrificing lambs etc etc the new covenant is faith in Jesus Christ and what he did at the Cross.

The Old testament is allegedly a divine revelation foretelling the coming of a Messiah while the New testament deals with the alleged Messiah's gospel.

The Old Testament is from the start of time (Adam & Eve) and the New Testement is from the time Jesus was born to the end of mankind as we know it.

In the old testament, God is a monster. In the new testament, he magically becomes a loving, benevolent God.

The Old Covenant was based on merit, on works, on a persons conscience effort of pleasing God.
The New Covenant is based on faith and on Gods grace.
The Old Covenant required the sacrifice of animals (Blood) to cleanse a person from sin.
The New Covenant requires faith in the blood of Christ Jesus to cleanse us from sin.
"Works" are still present in the New Covenant, however, they are no longer needed for salvation.
"Works" are a sort of spiritual barometer of our walk with Christ Jesus. We do not boast of these "Works" rather, we give all praise and glory to God Almighty for producing these "Works" in us.
Christ Jesus was the Perfect, Holy, sacrifice for sin.
How awesome it is to know that Christ Jesus was willing to suffer and pay the price for our sin. The Creator, the King, gave His life, for His servants.
God Bless You....Peace.
