Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hettiarachi" data-source="post: 10239836" data-attributes="member: 280749">Hi Y2k I am also curious to know why christians don't follow OT..What I am finding very confusing from the Christians is that they base their life all on the New Testament, and the New Testament does not have many laws in it.  It hardly covers any hot topic or issue that we deal with in our life.  For instance, the Old Testament has its own laws for inheritance, but the New Testament doesn't.  Now, if a father dies and leaves $1,000,000 to a family of 1 boy, 2 girls and a widow wife.  According to the Old Testament, only the boy inherits all, and the two daughters and the widow wife must live under the son's laws and mercy according to (Numbers 27:1-11) in the Old Testament.  This law was put by Jesus himself (since Jesus is GOD according to the Christians belief).  My question is, since the New Testament does not even talk about the topic of inheritance, but the Old Testament does, then wouldn't it make more sense for Christians to follow the laws of the Old Testament, since both the New Testament and the Old Testament were inspired by Jesus himself?"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 'The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.  So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.'  (Matthew 23:1-3)"  We clearly see in these verses that Jesus peace be upon him did not prohibit for the Old Testament to be followed, but only warned his followers to not follow it the way the current religious leaders of the Law (the Jewish Rabies) were following it.If you look at the Western World today (which is mostly Christians), you would notice that their constitutions and way of life is not Biblical at all.  They avoid Jesus' teachings in the Old Testament (since he is GOD himself and the author of the Old Testament), and they almost don't have any law that deals with life in the New Testament.  My question in this case, what kind of standards does the Christian religion have?  If Christians have to create their own laws to manage to survive life and its issues, then my friend, wouldn't that make Christianity a useless and irrational religion?Its unfortunate and quite obvious that Christians today made their Bible a useless religion.  They refuse to follow the Old Testament, which covers all of life's laws and issues, and they only stick to the New Testament, knowing that (1) the Old Testament was inspired by Jesus himself, and (2) both the Old Testament and the New Testament form what we called today "The Holy Bible".  If the Old Testament must not count for Christians today and they must not follow it, then why is it part of their Holy Book?  and why follow part of Jesus' teachings and not all of them, meaning, why follow the New Testament alone and not the Old Testament when Jesus himself is the author of both books?. </blockquote>
