Hi, I have an homework assignment with a total of 5 questions.
What do you think about the Old Testament of the Bible?
Should we even read it?
Have you ever read the Old Testament? Why?
What do you know about the Old Testament? A favorite character.
Do you think the Old Testament has anything of value to offer us?
There is no way we could have the New Testament alone as a Bible, without the Old Testament as part of that Bible.
Out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses let everything be established.
The Old Testament testifies of the New Testament, which Jesus quoted the Old Testament.
The Old Testament testifies that God is true more than the New Testament, although the New testifies of that also.
God said in Isaiah 41 to produce your cause, and bring forth your strong reasons, and prove that your god is true by telling the end from the beginning, which God told us the whole history of mankind in the Old Testament from the time of Adam and Eve until the transgressors are come to the full, and the nations are together to try to establish peace on earth, and bring about a kingdom that acknowledges no personal God, but the God of forces, or the power of nature as their higher power, and God puts them down.
God also told us how things came about in the Old Testament that He created all things, and the saints dwelling with Him for eternity in the Old Testament.
If there was not the Old Testament would people believe the New Testament, but with the Old Testament we know for a surety that the New Testament is true, for the Old Testament told us what the New Testament reveals, and the Old Testament even goes in to more information concerning prophesy, and of the end time.
In the Old Testament God told us of every kingdom that would come about, 1.Egypt 2.Assyria 3.Babylon 4. Medo-Persia 5.Greece 6.Roman Empire who does not lose their dominion until God puts the world down. 7.The ten horn kingdom who comes from the Roman Empire, the world split in to ten sections with a leader in each section. 8.The little horn who comes from the ten horns, the man of sin, the beast, and the New Age Christ.
Daniel did not understand what was told him but was told to go his way for he could not understand, but when they get to the end time they will understand, because many shall run to and fro, advanced travel, and knowledge shall be increased, advanced technology, allowing the saints to be able to see, and hear, and know, what is going on in the world, and how they can come together as one to try to establish peace on earth, which they will end up rebelling against God.
I read through the Bible, and the New Testament is the ultimate goal, but it seems more enjoyable to read the Old Testament.
If one were to read through the Old Testament, but not through the New having no knowledge of it, and one were to read through the New Testament, but not the Old, having no knowledge of it, what would give them a better understanding of God, and His nature, and His ways, and to understand prophesy to believe He is real.
I would have to say the Old Testament, for we have the tale of creation, all the history of mankind, all the way to the saints being with God forever.
How many people would believe the New Testament if the Old Testament was not included.
I tend to believe not as many would believe the New Testament if the Old Testament was not part of the Bible, and unknown.
But it is not possible, for the Old Testament is a part of the Bible, and can be no different.
