Bible Question: what is the difference between the old testament and the new testment |
Bible Answer: ladyappleman, Here is one of the simplest brief explanations I have seen of the difference between the two Testaments or Covenants. "one of the most significant differences bewteen the old and New Covenants: the Old Covenant is adminsitered by God with human mediators who came under oath and then sinned- like Adam (see Rom 5:12-21) and Israel (see Hebrews 3-4)-thereby triggering the covenant curses. In contrast, the New Covenant is established by the God-man, Jessus, but only after he had fulfilled the terms- and borne the curses- of the Old covenant. He thus became the mediator of the New Covenant (see Hebrews 8-9), which he ratified by oath-swearing." A Father Who Keeps His Promises, by Scott Hahn, p 26 1994, still in print Emmaus |
