There is just one Bible, both and older part and the newer part together. One can not understand one part without the other. The modern day Jews are not the Israelites of the Bible.
Hebrews 8:13 "By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear."
There are only two differences between the old and new covenants. One, hehe. I can never remember, but the main one is that the Law of God is now written on the heart. It is almost the same agreement made with the same people. It is only written on the heart of true israelites, who for the most part of the last almost 2000 years have endeavored to follow it as Christians.
Jeremiah 31:31 prophecy.
The OT isn't outdated. It's purpose was simply fulfilled. It did several things:
Demonstrated the character of God, both His mercy and His judgment.
Showed that we have no power to live free of sin by our own strength. It did this through the near immediate fall of man and the record of continuing transgressions.
Gave us many moral principles and moral laws around which we should align our lives.
Showed that the wages of sin is death and atoning sacrifice must be made to avoid eternal death in hell.
Promised a future perfect sacrifice.
Promised a future gift of writing His law in our hearts and minds and strengthening those who submit to Christ so that we live as He commands us.
Foretold in extreme detail the coming of Christ, the purpose of His ministry, the way He would be sacrificed, and the impact He would have on the world so that none who believed could mistake Him for someone or something else.
Isaiah 53 is an amazing bit of scripture.
The elements of the OT that are gone, obsolete now, are the Covenant laws of circumcision and the Mosaic covenant. These are laws like having a fringe on your garment, abstaining from pork and shellfish, and keeping the sign of the Mosaic covenant (Sabbath keeping). Laws like the other 9 of the 10 commandments were reiterated and amplified by Christ during His ministry. Moral laws like caring for the poor, keeping sex to marriage, abstaining from covetousness, hate, and idolatry were all reiterated in the NT by either Christ or an apostle.
The OT still contains a lot of prophecy to be fulfilled as well as information to help interpret NT prophecy. The old forms, sacrifices, temples, and practices are obsolete but the lessons remain.
Yeah, he fulfilled them in himself. Done and done. 70 AD put the capstone on that with the destruction of Jerusalem. Sept 8th being the great anniversary of that celebratory event.
NOTE: I believe current pope is NOT a follower of Christ but just a modern day libtard
having said the above.... the Bible is far from a clear and precise writing (yes yes, I know that there is someone claiming "bible code") and there are plenty of weird things in it
finally: Who cares what the modern jew are from a religious point of view, the issue I have is purely economic
they have too much money and too much power
Your issue is purely economic when it should be purely spiritual. And the pope isn't a libtard he's a literal Devil worshiper from the same cabal of Devil worshipers as all those in power.
Communist. He is a communist.
The pope is clearly not catholic.
We must expect Satan to infiltrate and subvert all.
The last tribe were Aryans. Catholics are just "Jews". The Old Testament "God" is not the same as the New Testament "God". There's dozens of Gospels and most only know about four.
You guys are all getting played and until you stop gulping up the convenient ruse fed to you with neon spoons, you're all going to be aspiritual cattle milked for your life force.
How are you people still not learning about what's going on? You were all "trapped in your homes" for a year and a half and none of you thought to be curious about all of the shit that's hidden from you?... You people don't even know what real Christianity is. You're pretenders.
Lot's of accusations, no proof. It must come from scripture and have history to back it. Try not to lump everyone in a "You Guys" group. We all are where we are in understanding if we have been studying and it is not the same place as twenty years ago.
I have no interest in pursuing the tedium that's demanded to show you "proof". Too many of you want "proof" but fail to realize that means many, many hours long lectures about how wrong your worldview is... and then we could begin to cover viable viewpoints.
You are completely correct. Here's a deep dive.
