Does the New Testament do away with the Old Testament or is there a third aspect?

Question

The NT describes itself as a "better testament", but what's better of good/better is only better for some, not all.

Perhaps His Grace is eternal and has neither beginning nor end, so what's best of good/better testaments is neither.

In the beginning God? Eternal God has no beginning of days nor end of life. Only what began can end. Law began.

Beginning of NT: it's the beginning of sorrows.

If NT finds fault with OT, but NT is contained in OT as one of twain: Law or Grace, does it then not also find fault with itself?

Perhaps it's a shew about Law vs Grace prevails; a two part shew about a third part: the grace of JC is not Noahic grace. Hence the clarity in the end written: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all (against none of you). Amen.

When the Holy Bible containing Old and New Testaments is ended properly, as written, then perhaps it never happened.

What are your thoughts about such allegoric mystery?

Third Way?
Broad<--Narrow-->More Excellent

Third Day?
Time Past<--Last Days-->Last Day

Third Aspect?
Great<--Greater-->Greatest
Old<--New-->New and Living

I don't think we'd want to fullfil the OT, since it would be extinction rather than salvation. Let's remember it's allegory and mystery, so allegoric mystery, and it has lots of twists to it, near the end.

Hebrews 1:1,2 speaks of two things:
"time past" and "the last days", of
4000BC<--0 and 0-->2000AD;
But it's now beyond 2000AD,
is called "the last day".

Answer 1

Christ said: "I came not to do away with the old law, but to fulfill it"!!! Could it be any clearer???

GodShew: You're making it much more difficult than you need make it. For "we know in part, and prophesy in part until that which was made perfect comes." Are you so arrogant as to insist on understanding it all? And then, feign complete understanding of scripture as to test others on their understanding? May God/Goddess grant you...

GodShew: Look in Peter - "For a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day with the Lord."

Answer 2

The New Testament (new covenant) is the fulfillment of the OldTestament and all its prophesy. It does not do away with the (O.T.) law, which did not provide for salvation. But it brings the hope of salvation to fruition in Christ. Neither testament is "better" than the other. Think of it this way: Is an apple better than an orange? Both are good, but each is different, not better. Jesus came to accomplish what was in the law and the prophets.

Answer 3

Rather deep question. A simple answer? The OT was the history of Israel with the promise of a savior to come. The NT was the fulfillment of those promises in the person of Jesus Christ. The NT assures all people of the forgiveness of their sins thru the death and resurection of Christ. We need both OT and NT to get the complete picture of the true God and his grace.

Answer 4

I think you are a very intelligent person, I know in Hebrews it is spoken that the old law has been done away with, now we are under grace through Christ Jesus. I wish I had an answer, but I don't, when I read this, it made me sad, Why?

Answer 5

The Torah (law) is about grace. It is YHVH's provision for taking mankind where it is, and transforming mankind into the "bride of the Messiah". The bride takes the grooms name YHVH and follows His rules. We can only do this through the power of the indwelling grace of the Almighty. Of Abraham it is written that He believed YHVH and it was counted to Him for righteousness. His faith was saving faith (that was OT of course) "The Law" was added because of transgressions.

Answer 6

We are now under grace. That doesn't mean the law was bad, or that we should ignore the basic tenets of the law (Please read the whole New Testament, especially Romans.) Its just that the law doesn't save. Also certain portions of the Old Testament law were fulfilled and some things were not required of the New Testament believers. If you look at the book of Acts, you will see that when it came to specifics of the law, the apostles declared that Gentile believers should stay away from:

" 19Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

20But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood."

Other verses that pertain to this issue are:

From Romans 14
4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.


From Matthew 5
16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.


From Romans 3
19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;


So Christ fulfilled the law for us, but that doesn't leave give us license to willfully sin (Please, please, please, read Romans 5-8). There is still right and wrong, certain aspects of the law cannot be ignored, it will will always be wrong to steal, to kill, it will always be wrong to worship idols, to sin sexually (Romans 1), but we are not held to all of the Jewish dietary restrictions, Holy Days, and Old Testament sacrifices.

To see what the New Testament says Christians ARE held accountable to, you really have to read the entire thing, more than once.

EDIT---EDIT---EDIT
Exactly what do mean by "perhaps it never happened?" And "allegoric mystery"? The Bible is not Allegory, it is truth.

Answer 7

a extensive area of the previous testomony is the guidelines of the Jewish human beings, and the doctrines and regulations of their faith. a number of it, such through fact the nutritional rules, have been a well-being code for a primitive human beings. as an occasion, that they had no thank you to cook dinner purple meat impressive, for this reason they have been forbidden to consume it. distinctive options have been for countless issues. some have been grateful options, some have been to preserve issues, such through fact the Sin offering. the the remainder of the previous testomony is a historic previous(based on the oral traditions) of the Jewish human beings, and what some might call the "myths"(believers call them miracles) linked with God and Judaism.

Answer 8

Some translations of the New Testament will say it is better, not all.
The N.T. does not "do away with" or replace the O.T., it just completes the entire testimony of God to human kind.

Answer 9

2 timothy 3:16 says 16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work

Answer 10

My understanding is that New Testament is just a continuation of the bible.

I believe God dealt with man based on man's ability to understand. Telling an ignorant person something like women are just as equal as you are was something they just couldn't comprehend. We as parents teach our children those things we know they can comprehend recognizing as they get older you can reveal more to them that they will better be able to understand.
