I believe all parts of hte bible are important because its all the word of God. Yes some parts are confusing, and some parts maybe should have more focus than other. Such as Jesus's words these are vrey important and are the most relevent but the old testement has a lot of background information that goes along with the words of Jesus. I think when reading you have to go into it wth an open mind and pray about the things that confuse you, or you find to go against what you had previous thoughts. These are the things that challenge you and allow yout o grow in your faith.
