Really!!!!
The old testament does not apply anymore.
Did someone forget to tell Jesus when he taught from the teachings in the old testament and referanced them many times, they no longer apply??
If the old testament does not apply any longer then lets throw it out so we no longer know why it is that we need our LORD and Saviour. If the old testament does not aply anylonger, how else can we know we are under the bondage of sin before being born again?
The old testament applies as much today as it did back when the law and the profits taught of it.
Is the old testament no longer part of God's word given to man??
We are not able to understand what is being taught in the new testament without the old testament teachings.
Luke 4:4 (KJV)
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Is the old testament part of God's Word?
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (KJV)
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
If the OT still applies as much now as it did then, why don't we follow these to the letter as well?
