what is the difference between the old and new testiment?

Question

when did the new testiment arrive? why were some of the rules dropped from the old testiment?

Answer 1

Christians claim that the Law presented in the OT can never be fulfilled. And instead, because of Jesus' 'sacrifice' the Law is only there to reveal sin. One does not follow the Law, only to use it as a measure to see how you are really living your life.

Christians also still abide by certain laws, and unfortunately it seems to be those that are convienent. Such as the ten commandments, the laws against homosexuality and fornication. They use these to justify their stance today, but ignore the rest. It should be a whole or nothing deal.

Christians also claim that the NT is the 'new' covenant. Which makes all previous covenants obselete. Unfortunately, if one reads the bible - God says that the covenants he makes with the Jewish people, and the Law itself, will never be taken away, reversed or revised.

The NT also gives a rather mistranslated view of the OT. Such as only blood sacrifice can forgive sins and the numerous OT quotes that Paul uses that doesn't match the actual verses he is trying to use.

Ever wonder why a lot of Jews don't convert? That's why. The NT and Paul's letters were directed at Gentiles who didn't know any better. The Jews could see the problems and contridcitions with Paul and rejected Jesus because of that. Not because of some sort of delusion or deep seated hate.

Answer 2

In a nutshell:

The Old Testament is the "history" of the jewish people from the time of creation up until shortly before the time of Christ. It also contains some prophecy and psalms.

The New Testament includes four different accounts of Jesus' ministry (the Gospels), various letters written between Christians in the first century after Christ's death (mostly by Paul), and John's Revelation, which is a highly symbolic bit of prophecy regarding the "end times".

Answer 3

What happened to the Old Testament (the Old Law, or Old Covenant)? The New Testament tells us, "In that He says, 'A new covenant,' He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away" (Hebrews 8:13). "For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, for the law made nothing perfect..." (Hebrews 7:18,19). "Then He said, 'Behold, I have come to do Your will, 0 God.' He takes away the first that He may establish the second" (Hebrews 10:9). "For the priesthood being changed, of necessity, there is also a change of the law" (Hebrews 7:12). The apostle Paul wrote: "Having wiped out the handwriting of requirements (the Law of Moses) that was against us, which was contrary to us, And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross" (Colossians 2:14). Paul also wrote concerning this Old Law which contained the Ten Commandments: "Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor" (Galatians 3:24, 25).

When was the Old Law taken away and the New Law given? It happened when Jesus shed His blood on the cross: "And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives" (Hebrews 9:15-17).

What was the purpose of the Old Law which was given to Israel at Mount Sinai? Paul answers: “What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hands of a mediator" (Galatians 3:19). The Seed is Christ (Galatians 3:16). The Old Law, which contained the Ten Commandments, was given to keep Israel under control until Christ came. Since Christ has come and has fulfilled this Law, He has taken it out of the way. He has given us a New Law (covenant or testament). We must go to this New Law to learn how God wants us to serve Him today!

Answer 4

The Tenakh is about the relationship between God and His chosen people, Israel. The first five books are called the Torah. The word "Torah" in English means teaching or instruction. In other words the "Torah" is our instruction book for living Life today in *this* world, not some mythical place in the afterlife.

The only prophesies included in the Tenakh are those that have actually happened. There were many, many prophets, but why include false prophesies?

As an outsider, Christianity seems to be about death, dying, punishment, and reward in some mythical place called heaven.

Answer 6

The old testament is the history, the new testament is the birth of Jesus and his teachings. As far as the rules being dropped, those were pratical, and example is the eating of unclean flesh, (pork), they had no refrigeration, so uneaten meat would spoil and the people that ate it would get sick or die, so the meat was declared unclean. Some of the problems they faced, we no longer have...

Answer 7

I would direct you to :
Hebrews 9
1Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

11But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

12Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Hebrews 9 could be read in an attempt to understand.

Answer 8

The old testament is the history of the Jews & the prophesies about the coming of the christ.

The new testament is the fullfilling of those prophesies. Some of the rules wer dropped because they were fullfilled with the coming of the christ.

Answer 9

Christians claim that all of the rules they no longer want to follow from the old testament have been dropped. Thsi is despite the fact that Jesus never said this.

Answer 10
