Is your bible only made up of the NT?
Do you just pretend that the OT isn't there?
How would one say the OT is rubbish but the NT is truth.

So is it that many people disregard parts of the OT that they do not like?

The bible consists of the old and new testaments. If you can't reconcile the two, you need to find some understanding of the time difference. Times change, people change. Personally, I think at the time the OT was written, the people just weren't advanced enough yet for more modern thought, which is also why they weren't ready for Jesus yet. I suppose you'd call that human evolution. They needed very strict rules, because they were unable to comprehend anything like grey zones. These are people who couldn't comprehend the "graven images" thing for more than 4 weeks, hence the debacle Moses found when he returned from the mountain to find a golden calf. Both testaments are important, but one needs to try to understand the mind-set of the people of those particular times.

Christians use both the OT and the NT. To us, the OT is a great deal of prophecy (that is realized in NT times). It is also a chronicle by the prophets of what life was like, and also the Mosaic Law. Of course the OT is there--it's the foundation of the faith as well as a history book.

The Whole Bible--both OT and NT are the entire Word of God. Jesus was promised in the OT and realized in the NT.
Jesus fulfilled all the promises and commandments of the OT when He died and rose from the dead so that we could have eternal life in Heaven.

No, no. The OT is true. The OT contains the old covenant, the NT contains the new covenant. We need both in order to understand better. The NT tells us that the OT was given to us as an example.

the OT is about Israel, the OT is an important testament. Without the OLD testament we wouldn't understand the NT! the OT is based on the Mosaic Law for the Jewish nation, the NT is the Grace which is for everyone!

I disregard the entire OT and the NT except for the Gospel of Jesus the Christ and the Words of His witness John.
I read and trust in Just those parts of the OT that Jesus commands that I read, such as the parts of Daniel where the desolate is abomination and the Holy Place.
Jesus commands us to read other parts such as (my god, my god forgive them for they know not what they do) and verses of the prophets quoted by Jesus or are in His Gospel.

Without the OT how can you fully understand the new covenant reveled in the NT?

To consider this, you should look at the O.T. you need to follow Jesus example. How did he look at the O.T.? Compare Mathew 5:5 with Psalms 37:9-11,29.
How many times in the New T. did Jesus say: It is written?
Jesus didn't come to abolish the old law, he came to fulfill it.
Therefore all the principles have application for us today.
We are not bound to the letter of the law, but as Jesus did, use it to gain understanding.
The scriptures say (Romans 15:4) . . .For all the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.. . .
