What's the diffrence between The Old Testament and The New Testament in the Bible?

Answer 1

I know this one!! The difference is how people repent. In the Old Testament they had to make sacrifices and the blood of animals was shed in order to seek forgiveness. The New Testament changes that with the death and resurrection of Christ. This is why Jesus is referred to as the "Lamb", because His blood was shed so that we could repent and be forgiven of our sins. Jesus is our bridge to God, which is why when we pray we ask things in His name.

Answer 2

Both testements were ushered in by - blood of animal sacrifices for the Old, and the blood of Christ for the New. But, Christ's blood of the New Covenant does what could not be done in the Old - forgive sins. The Old Testament prophets hundreds of years before, foretold the coming of a second covenant. Moreover, the New Testament also teaches that Old Testament was imperfect because it could not offer forgiveness of sins. Instead, each year the sins were "rolled back" until Christ's ultimate sacrifice. The entire book of Hebrews is devoted to showing that the Old Covenant is inferior to the New, and that New Testament Christians should not abide by this inferior covenant when they have something so superior. In fact, the writer of Hebrews actually quotes the a passage from Jeremiah to make this point (Hebrews 8:6-13).

Another significant difference is who God gave the covenant to. The Old Testament was a covenant given strictly for the Jews, or Israelites. Non-Jews, or Gentiles, could adopt the Jewish covenant and become "prostelytes", but there was no special law and relationship offered that was for the Gentiles as the Old Testament was for the Jews. However, the New Testament made no distinction. One of the great things about the New Testament is that God's message and special covenant relationship is extended to all races and peoples. Consequently, the writings of the Old Testament generally track the story of the Israelites with a few exceptions, and the New Testament writings contain the gospel of Jesus and of the spread of the gospel all over the world, as well as directions for the new Christians.

Answer 3

The Old Testament has 39 books. The New Testament has 27. The Old testament was written originally in Hebrew and in a small part (part of Daniel) Aramaic. The new testament was originally written in Greek. The Old Testament, called the Hebrew Bible by Jews, along with the Talmud is essential to the religion of Judaism. The New Testament is to christianity as water is to the body, although the Old testament is important too. Many parts of the Old testament are considered prophecy fulfilled to Christians. These are some of the differences between two.

Answer 4

The word Testament means a testimony of a covenant between two people. The Old Testament covers everything under the Law of Bulls and Goats. Animal sacrifices...the covenant ith Abraham...the Law of Moses...the Books of the Prophets...all this is labeled under the Old Testament. The Old Testament is a shadow of the New Covenant. As you can see in the writings of some of the Prophets...like Isaiah...Jerimiah...even King David...you can see them testifying of Jesus Christ. The Old Testament gave us the knowledge of sin and death, while the New Testament showed us the cure. Jesus Christ established the New Covenant (Testament) by His death, burial, and resurrection. The Bible says that Jesus established the Law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2). Therefore, Jesus abolished the Old Testament and established the New Testament. Now, we still need the Old Testament, because we should study the Law and the Prophets. Also, many revelations in the New Testament can be explained in the Old Testament. Quite simply put, the Old Testament and the New Testament are historical writings labeling and showcasing the shift between the covenants of God to man. God-Abraham....God-Jesus!

Answer 5

The Old Testament is the compilation of the five books of Moses as preserved by the Jews. Originally written in Hebrew, the Old Testament read by them today is essentially identical, letter by letter, to that read before the birth of Christ.

The New Testament is the Christian Bible, a compilation of accounts of the events of Jesus's life, his sayings and those of his followers, written about 100 years after his death. Originally written in Greek, most familiar verses today come from the "king James" version, a beautiful literary exercise in English.

The works and sayings of Jesus described in the early books of the New Testament does not vary much from the style and content of Old Testament teachings and writings.... later books in the New Testament portray a different Jesus, who was later deified by his followers.

Answer 6

The Old Testament is the time before Jesus. The New Testament is the time of Jesus and after.

Answer 7

The Tanakh ("Old" Testament) is the original. The Tenakh is written in Hebrew & Aramaic and still studied in those languages. The NT is written in Latin and Greek and studied in the language of each individual.

The Tanakh has existed since at least 800 BCE, while the oldest writings of the NT are from about 80 CE.
.

Answer 8

The Old Testament is everything that leads up to the original coming of Jesus Christ. The New Testament is His arrival and everything else until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 9

The Old Testament attains its full meaning and fulfillment in the New Testament and in turn sheds light upon the New Testament and allows it to be understood more fully. The New Testament in turn fulfils the Old Testament because it reveals the final Word of God, promised to Israel, Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 1,2)

Peace and every blessing!

Answer 10

In the Old Testament God was at war with humans. He threw Adam & Eve to the wolves. He drown the world in Noah's flood. He killed the firstborn of Egypt along with a bunch of plagues. He ordered the sack and genocide of Canaan. And the list of atrocities goes on and on.

In the New Testament God manifested as a human and had himself slaughtered and called it an act of love.
