What is more important to you the Old testament or the New Testament and why?

the old testament is fantastic, and the new is not nearly the same without it, in fact it is weak and unpowerful without the O.T however Christianity hinges on the person of Jesus, how he dismantled Judaism and fulfilled its every pillar. So, because of Jesus I say the New, but with reservation

They are both of equal importance and validation. The Old Testament set the laws in place, and the New Testament provides us with a way out of our sin. While some things did change from the Old Testament to the New, it is of equal importance as is the New, because it was written by God. We are to obey all that God says, not just part of it. God bless!

People who only go by one and discard the other only have a "half truth". You can't have one without the other. The most important message in the bible is the coming of the Savior, Jesus Christ, and his plan of Salvation. The Old Testament message prepares the way, and the New Testament, introduces God in the Flesh. To separate the two is confusion, which is what many people are in!

Both are important. The old testament talks about the beginning of time from the creation and forward. It gives the geneology starting from Adam. It discusses many things that are extremely significant to us. The prophies of Elijah and there are scriptures that play an important role in guiding us. My favorite is ICHORINTHIANS10:13 It reminds us that God will not allow us to be tempted above what we can bear.

The new testament talks about the life and death of Jesus Christ and the lives of his disciples.

Interesting question. It was very good . Thankyou! :)

The Old Testament gives the context for the New.

They are Both important, "The Law is the Schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, after finding Him, the Law is needed no longer." Then is when we need the New Testament, to show us how to live in the New Life we have after Salvation. Jesus said, "You search the Scriptures(Old Testament)& think in Them you have salvation, but These are they that speak of Me." So in the Old Testament, you have Christ concealed, & in the New you have Christ Reveiled.

Both are important to me because without the Old Testament, I wouldn't know about the propehcies and law that Christ fulfilled, it takes both the Old and the New to teach us about the Father and the Son.

well the old and new testament are equally important to me, but i find that the old testament inspires me and gives me hope as where the new testament gives me hope that there is a savior

The Torah (Jewish holy book) consists of only the "Old" Testament. THe Bible (Christian holy book) consists of the "Old" and "New" Testaments. It depends on your religion.

It takes both of them.
