Bible Question:
why do people pay more attention too the new testmant instead of the old ?isn't the old the only way too know what the new is talking about? jim |
Bible Answer: That's a good question indeed, here's my thoughts. One, the OT is a larger volume and covers thousands of years and several individuals and groups. The NT is a slimer volume, covers roughly 70 years and has much fewer people in it. I think people start off with Genesis, but then once they hit the later chapters, they sort of trail off. Exodus is the same. A lot of the OT is history, not doctrine, and a lot of people aren't into that. I for one would recommend people read the Psalms, Proverbs and the works of the Prophets and Daniel in the OT. That's a good 'starting point' and those tend to have more immediate bearing on the NT. That's my thoughts anyways, take care, SUEDE |
