Why do Christians ignore the Old Testament?

On the contrary, we Catholics have readings from the old testament and the new testament everyday at mass. Each is combined to give us insight into what Jesus was talking about. Also, the old testament has predictions of what came when Jesus was born and it still refers to what is to come in the future. God bless you.

Jesus came to fulfill the Old Law of Moses (Matthew 5:18-19). That's what He did. The Old Law has now been nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14). The only thing it's good for now is guiding other people to Jesus (Galatians 3:24-25). It's not that Christians ignore it, we don't. It's just that the New Covenant God established with man through Jesus' death, burial, and reusrrection is the one with power and the one with which we should spend more time.

i'm not the main suitable man or woman to reply to this. The previous testomony is the previous covenant between God and mankind. whilst Jesus got here to die for the word that's whilst the recent covenant replaced into all started. regulations replaced and that's the fast answer to why the regulations at the instant are not taken actually. i'm sensing you at the instant are not a christian or non secular. you will not get what replaced into mentioned above or till you have a metamorphosis of heart. as far simply by fact the ten commandments. That replaced right into a diverse tale. those are issues that everybody can stay up too. in comparison to stoning somebody that woks on the sabbath, and so on. additionally God says something approximately trusting those that are put in charge and in government. With that mentioned a number of the stoning rules might actual injury a number of the different rules that we've today. as far as you thinking that public development showing the ten commandments on a facets of them. i can't argue with them. it truly is an argueable occasion. We simply by fact the country replaced into all started on a christian history from the fore fathers and founders of this usa. subsequently they're nevertheless up. We could have reached a component that it is not longer ideal to reveal those in our worldwide places public homes. as far as you attempting to make a component your argument isn't valid. that's seen a purple haring. you attempt to hold mild to something that may not on the subject count of besides the fact that if or not the ten commandments must be published in public homes. right it truly is an argument that must be vaild. Christians have self belief that they are able to bypass away areas out of the previous testomony simply by fact of unruly little ones, or somebody figuring out on up sticks on the sabbath must be stoned to loss of life. Or a sufferer ought to marry a rapist, slavery, or ingesting Baron Verulam or lobster is punishable with the aid of loss of life.... yet they keep the ten commandments. why is this? i'm unsure a thank you to reply to this question. I gave it my maximum suitable opinion. i don't propose for this to be offended in case you're examining this. i'm in basic terms supplying you with my own information. i don't characterize any church or non secular team as an entire. i desire this substances some solutions which you're in seek of for.

If you can point out to me where Jesus says that someone must become Jewish to follow Him, you'll have a case. Gentiles are not and have never been under the covenant of Moses.

We don't.

*SIGH*

How many times do I have to say this?

Christ Jesus FULFILLED all the OT laws.

We don't have to follow it anymore!

This does NOT mean that we still can't learn from it.

No, the 10 commandments are NOT irrelevant!

They are are telling us of God's nature, but you will note that there is NO PUNISHMENTS attatched to them, like there are to all the OT laws.

They are to be followed, but not as a means to achieving salvation-that is found only in Christ, as seen here:

John 14:6 (New International Version)

6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Does Jesus say here that "no one comes to the Father, except through me PLUS following the 10 commandments"

No.

Does Jesus say here that the only way to the Father is through Him PLUS following the OT laws?

No.

He says "no one comes to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME"

There is NOTHING ELSE that needs to be attatched to what Christ is saying here!

Him & Him alone PLUS NOTHING ELSE is ALL THAT IS NEEDED!

PERIOD!

All we have to do is follow Christ!

YES, EVEN JESUS KEPT THE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS TOO. THE ONLY LAWS THAT WERE ABOLISHED WERE THE RITUAL CLEANSING LAWS. YOU CAN'T BE SAVED WITHOUT ADHERING TO THE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS FOR SURE. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT, GOD IS THE SAME TODAY YESTERDAY AND FOREVER, WHICH MEANS HIS LAWS NEVER CHANGE AS THEY R ENTERNAL.

No. The law is no loger in effect because Christ fufuilled the laws requirments. It is already finished!!

It's hard to be one with a God so destructive (enter the old testament)... so, they created (enter the new testament) a new book...
