As a Christian, how important is the Old Testament for you

[AsiaCel]

I studied in a Christian primary school; bible study went something like that.

We began learning the Old testament, so like the planet was created in few days, Eve and Adam, Moses split the sea, salt pillar for looking back, David killing goliath with a slingshot and so on.

In higher grade came Jesus. He was born in Bethlehem and the story became "warmer"? Jesus walked on water, healed the blind, fiipped the tables of the temple, etc etc. Then he got betrayed and crucified, and resurrected in a few days.

The final grades focused on real life event and some bits of modern geopolitics of Palestine and Israel.

I don't really remember it all; but it was basically the schooling I received.

So to you, how important is Old testament these days?

 

[AutistSupremacist]

Christians still adhere to the 10 commandments, belief in original sin and believe we are the descendants of Abraham so I'd argue many Christians very much consider the old testament relevant.

 

[Cuckoja]

I see it as a part of new testament, as new testament without the old doesn't makes sense

 

[Livonica_Irreale]

Old testament is a foundation to every major Abrahamic religions.
And also, an important source of ancient Jewish culture. Many content is of course obscure, but there's a lot of content still being actual.
Basically, New Testament was wrote to replace these obscure shit. NT + OT = your life's guidebook... + Quran DLC

 

[Serbimmigrant-cel]

The new testament is the fulfillment of the old testament I love all of what was revealed and it all harmonizes I spend a lot of my days proving people wrong when they claim the old testament God is evil and new is merciful

The new testament is the fulfillment of the old it literally itself says that not a single piece of the old testament is to be forgotten or earased and the Quran is a fake book that contradicts both the new and old testament

I don't know, OT says you need to stone whores for adultery, but NT forgives them, if they'll stop adultering.

 

[Antorian]

Its very important to know the trajectory of salvation through histoey, as well as to see God's mercy and justice through the ages. Without the Old Testament, the New Testamentvmakes no sense.

Also in Catholicism, Old Testament moral law, such as the Ten Commandments, among others, remains a valid guide for Christian conduct, as it reflects God's unchanging nature and teaches principles of justice, love, and social order. It is distinct from the ceremonial and civil laws that were specific to ancient Israel and were fulfilled in Christ. The moral law provides an ethical framework for life that is still relevant for all people, serving as a foundation for human dignity and a just society.

It doesn't you're misquoting Jesus Jesus didn't deny that law he simply said "let one who is sinless cast the first stone" and nobody did in reality we should still stone whores also Jesus didn't do it not because he disobeyed the law but because it says both the whore and the dude need to be stoned

God bless you but look up the verses you're talking about before using them to make sure they do say what you claim they say

 

[Serbimmigrant-cel]

If you have any other ones feel free to send them and I'll answer it they are perfectly synchronized and in line with one another

Ah, i didn't catched this at first glance. NT was actually a genius masterpiece - by allegories and intelligent comebacks Jesus has done fantastic work to help understand his teachings.
Also i remember when i was reading all 4 Gospels, i was laughing a lot everytime when Pharisees were brutally cooked, and butthurted by whistleblowing and stoning attempts xD

We cook Jewish teachers to this day they can't answer how the messiah hasn't come if Daniel says he will come before the second temple is destroyed and then gives the exact amount of years between when the order to build the temple goes out and when Jesus is crucified 1000 years before

Interesting. For Judaism, their book of discussion is the Talmud. Isnt the church the "Talmud" of Christianity?

the talmud is like a collection of Jewish rabbinical commentaries we don't really have anything that compares to it besides our own commentaries but unlike rabbinical Jews we don't give them any authority for example the Talmud says Jesus is boiling in hell in a pit of semen and excrement there's no basis for this in the scripture but it's still believed

Like Jesus said they've made their rabbis and sages into god's besides the almighty

 

[ardeys]

Very much more to understand the new testament than to live by the rules of the old since you have to understand the historical context and the mythology behind

In the talmud there’s written that the pharisees “sages” are higher than the prophets

This is how christian it gets for me. Fuck me over and watch what happens.

 

[The_word_made_flesh]

The better on knows the Old Testament also known Tanakh the better one understands the New .

As the saying goes ,The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed and the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed .

 

[yeetbender_]

Cringe jew worship and fake history made up to gaslight and coerce you into mutilating your genitals, just like pisslam.

 

[yeetbender_]

Yahweh didn't make shit, the jews are not the gods of this universe, hitler was right about them.

So OT laws are not valid anymore?

 

[The_word_made_flesh]

So OT laws are not valid anymore?

I think people greatly misunderstand this aspect .I do think that the Torah is still valid and obedience to God brings great blessings.

We must also understand that only faith can save us and reconcile us back to God .But that does not mean that living by the Bible does not bring good things !

 

[The_word_made_flesh]

He had to have created us for his name means creator ,so our existence proves his

Its mostly stolen and reworded stories from earlier civilizations to give jews a feeling of historical validity.

 

[1Disturbed]

They were valid in a unique time where the people knew only fear so could only be controlled through displays of might such as those Yahweh did in the Bible.
