What else can I help you with?
Who believed in the Old Testament?
Christians and Jews today believe and study the Old Testament. The Jews made it, but as Jesus was Jewish, Christians study it too.
Do Christians have to obey the laws delineated in the Old Testament of the Bible?
We obey the moral laws, such as not committing adultery and homosexuality. But we do have to obey the Ten Commandments. Things such as not eating unclean animals is not really an issue today.
Explain how Jesus' actions towards sinners and outcasts might guide Christians today?
because Christians are supposed to follow god and spread the word of the gospel, to do this Christians are supposed to help these people.
Why are prophesys important to Christians today?
They let us know what will happen in the future. The book of Daniel in the Old Testament and the book of Revelation in the New Testament both have some information about the end times.
What are all the books in the New Testament?
There are a total of twenty seven (27) books in the New Testament. The New Testament canon as it is now was first listed by St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, in 367 AD. The New Testament as we have it today has been accepted by Christians since the middle of the 3rd century.
Is Isaiah still applicable today?
From the Christian view the complete Bible is applicable today. Christians follow the New Testament, which represents the New Covenant. In I Corinthians 10 1-13 the Apostle Paul tells us that the Old Testament is for our examples. We can learn many, many things from the Old Testament. The complete bible is inspired and true and of much use today. (This of course includes Isaiah).
How many years between New Testament and old testament?
Some of the stores of the Old Testament date to about 5,000 years before the occurrences of the New Testament. Others are more recent, but still hundreds of years before the events of the New Testament. The Bible Christians use today was assembled about 300 AD. This would make the answer to the question about 5,300 years between the oldest parts of the old Testament and assembly of the New Testament with the Old Testament to make the Christian bible.
Do Christians today believe that there will be a physical resurrection after death?
Yes. There are several places throughout the Bible where physical ressurection is mentioned. In the New Testament, especially in the Revelation, it is mentioned that there will be a physical resurrection.
Why is it people think Jesus and God are so terrible?
OpinionIn my experience, Jesus is almost universally respected, even among those who do not believe that he was divine. Even among followers of other religions, the moral teachings attributed to Jesus are considered as at least equal to their own.There are some who find the Old Testament image of God disturbing, even terrible. These are generally Christians, who want their God to be a loving and kind God, as mainly described in the New Testament. This paradox, on the one hand an angry and vengeful God of the Old Testament, and on the other, a loving and kind God of the New Testament, led many early Gnostic Christians to believe that there must be two different Gods. Today, most Christians accept the Old Testament image of God, because modern Christian teaching is that the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are the same. God can not be 'terrible'.There are others who do not believe that God is real. They either believe that Jesus was at most a holy preacher, but not divine, or even that he was not really a historical person. However, this is a different issue and does not imply that they are 'terrible'.
What were the moral causes of the Noah's flood in the Old Testament?
In the Old Testament, the moral causes of the flood were linked to the corruption and sinfulness of humanity. The flood was seen as a way for God to cleanse the earth of wickedness and restore purity. Noah and his family were spared because of their righteousness and faithfulness to God.
Who ended the persecution of the Christians?
