Bible Question:
In the New Testament, Jesus is of spirit right and in the old then is when he was just born from mary? I had trouble understanding the difference between the old and the new testament? |
Bible Answer: Hi Leroy......to make it simple, testament is another word for "promise" or something similar. The "old testament" is the old promise beginning with God's creation of universe and man. In the old testament we had to follow God's laws and make animal sacrifices for our sins. Jesus was spoken of and prophesied but did not yet exist on this earth in human form. The New Testament is the new promise beginning with the Angel informing Mary that she would have a baby and he would be the savior of the world. In the New Testament we read of the life and death of Jesus. There are no more animal sacrifices because Jesus paid the final sacrifice for our sins. In short, the Old testament is before Jesus' birth and the New testament is after....God bless you in your studies. |
