old testament and new testament?

Question

why is there a new one? how could the word of god be changed if he's perfect?

is there voting for that?

Answer 1

the bible says it best

Hebrews 9
1Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

2For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

3And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

4Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

5And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

6Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

7But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

8The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

9Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

10Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

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.

13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

18Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

19For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

20Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

21Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

22And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

23It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

24For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

28So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Answer 2

The word of God didn't change- He just had more to say.

The Old Testament was the prelude to the New Testament. The New Testament fullfilled many of the things in the Old Testament.

Plus, the New Testament recorded some important events (like, Jesus comming to earth, dying, and rising again) that happened after the Old Testament was written, and were foretold in the Old Testament.

Answer 3

The old testament ends with a statement that it is the final word and that there will be nothing added. Only the prophet Elijah was left yet to come before the world was consumed by fire.
So then why is there a Jesus God or John prophet in a complete new testament?
The book called the Bible contradicts itself.
Pious fraud from the new Jesus cult comes to mind.
I hope this gives you an understanding of why the Christians kept their bible secret for 1200 years and killed anybody who tried to make it public.

Answer 4

It's just a title, I am not sure why they called it this. Jews don't call it the old testament it actually offends them by calling it that. The word of God wasn't changed it was continued.

Answer 5

Old Testament - The law - God spoke to people through the prophets;
New Testament - The Grace - Provided to those who accept and who confess Jesus as The Only Saviour. Jesus has provided us with a new life as new creatures. Jesus Is the second Adam. He washed our sins with His Blood.

Answer 6

Change the word "testament" to "covenant" and you'll get a better understanding. Read Hebrews 8 and 9, which explains this more fully.

edit: GoldCollision... a reference to the book and verses for your claim would be nice.

Answer 7

Mr A,
Begin reading the Old Testament. You will find that it is largely a Testament that was written for those who came before and during the life of CHRIST. The New Testament is the one dedicated to the death, burial, and resurrection of our LORD and Savior, Jesus CHRIST! Have a wonderful week.
Thanks,

Answer 8

Um, dood I seriously think It was given the wrong name.
Also I would encourage you to look into the bible
and get a couple facts straight.
I've been checkin out your Q's and you seem a bit
confused.....
Almost like your intention is not to learn
but to be a wise guy and contradict things...
I don't know so,
Either way
Best Wishes.

Answer 9

Two different God's, both made up.

One judgmental punishing monster made up by the Hebrews, the other by Rome. Neither one of them is the real God Jesus spoke of.

Love and blessings Don.

Answer 10

not 2 B rude but have you read the bible?
the old testament is when Jesus wasn't born
and the new trestament is when Jesus was born so the new testament is all about Jesus being born and the stuff he did.
hope I helpt :)
