Old Vs. New Testament
|
 |
|
(The Bible)
The Bible
is separated into two large sections, the Old Testament and the New
Testament. The Old Testament tells the history of the world and
particularly of the Israelites in the period from the creation of the
world until about 400 B.C. The New Testament picks up with the time just
before Jesus was born and tells about His life, His death, His
resurrection, and His church. Although there are many timeless truths and
laws in the Old Testament, the majority of it was written about and for
the Jewish nation (the Israelites). The New Testament tells of Christ and
recounts the teaching that He and His apostles did. It is this teaching
(that of the New Testament, not the Old Testament) that everyone from the
time that Christ died until now (and also in the future) is responsible to
learn and to obey.
