2Tim 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
From this verse we can see that the scriptures can be used for teaching doctrine, for reprimanding ourself or others, for instruction for living a right life.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Is the Old Testament important to us today?
The Old Testament is very useful today. There are so many things that pertained to that time just as they do today. Dig into the book of Proverbs. It was written by Solomon and other wise men. It gives many good life lessons that I apply to my life. There are books written in the Old Testament about people that lived a long time ago and if you read them you will see that they are not so different from us today. The O.T. tells us the prophesy of things to come. Many of these have already come to pass. Some of the books are kind of dry to read but they all have something to teach. Someone once said something like this: " Those that fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it." Open the Bible and give it a chance.
What are xn's beliefes in miracles?
There are a wide variety of beliefs in miracles throughout the Christian community. Many Christians believe that God worked miracles in ancient times directly or through the prophets, as reported in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament,) as well as the miracles performed by Christs, Apostles and early disciples, recorded in the Christian Scriptures. Some churches teach that the Age of Miracles ended when the Bible came into use in the community of believers, and that there are no valid miracles occurring today. Other Christians believe and expect miracles to happen today, and are ready to "testify" to their experience of God's direct and miraculous intervention in their lives. Still other Christians are skeptical about all miracle stories, ancient and modern. They may be faithful believers, but find no need to believe in the supernatural in order to be followers of Jesus Christ.

Was the Christian Testament the Old Testament of The Bible?
No.**What is often called the "Old Testament" (written in the Hebrew and Aramaic languages), concerns God's dealings with the Nation of Israel and other people through the years. It's primary purpose was to point forward to the coming of Messiah, who would make all God's promises possible ( (2 Corinthians 1:20)**The so called "NEW Testament" (more accurately called the Greek scriptures),were mainly for the Christian congregation, fulfilling many of the prophecies from the Hebrew scriptures, and pointing forward to the fulfillment of God's will toward mankind.Another opinion: Though many people believe the Old Testament is void now, the Bible says that Jesus came to fulfill it, not to abolish it. According to Romans 11 and many other places throughout the Bible, it is stated that when one starts following God, they are grafted on to the Jewish nation, not literally in their bloodline, but spiritually. The covenant made to Abraham and his descendants is then applicable to all believers in God who have repented etc. Remember, Jesus was Jewish too! For example, why do most Christians obey all of the Ten Commandments except the one that commands us to rest on the seventh day, the Sabbath--it is in the same set of laws as murder and idolatry. Many other of God's guidelines from the Old Testament are neglected as well. It is important to be aware that God's "Old" Testament is still the covenant that exists today between those who seek God and God. The New Testament is only a fulfilling of the Old Testament--which proves it all the more true, and important to live by. Of course, you aren't gonna earn salvation through merely physically following his commands, but it helps and God will bless you for it. Besides, did Jesus himself now obey the "law"? If we are to follow his example, then, we, too must follow the law. This is my opinion feel free to think about it yourself and it is highly encouraged to read it too. Lots of pointers to Jesus are there too. Also the "Greek scriptures" was possibly largely written in Aramaic, so I wouldn't be to sure in calling it Greek. So, my answer to your question is that the "Old" or "New" Testaments aren't really a "Christian Testament," but rather the whole Bible is the "Christian Testament."Answer:Yes. Jesus preached, exclusively, what we call the "Old Testament" scriptures during His earthly ministry. And it was these same scriptures from which the apostles... [including Paul who knew the Old Testament backwards and forward]... taught people; with certain letters by Paul and others, written to the Gentile churches for purposes of clarification of the "Ancient" scriptures.The Bible says nothing about a "Christian Testament." Jesus solely preached from what is known today as the "Old Testament" in all of His supposed "Christian" teachings -- and testifies to it as His Father's "Sanctifying Word"... and calls it "TRUTH." [John 17:17]The writings of Paul and certain others, known as the "New Testament" are prophesied in the "Old Testament" as "completing" the testament of God:"Bind up the testimony, seal the law AMONG MY DISCIPLES." (Isa.8:16)The "New Testament" we know, today, doesn't nullify or "replace" the Old... or make it a "Christian Testament." It completes the anciently written "Old" testimony of God Almighty for the generations of the end time.

Were there books of the Catholic Bible added in and taken out by the Protestants?
The New Testament used by the protestants is the same New Testament that the Christian Church has always used. The Christian Church has always used the same Old Testament that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, used, which was the Septuagint: the Greek translation of the Old Testament Bible made in the fourth century before Christ and used by most of the Jews in the first century A.D. The Jews who did not accept Jesus as the promised Messiah, in the second century removed the Deuterocanoical books from their Bible as they supported specifically Christian teachings, and are referred to numerous times in the New Testament. Martin Luther fourteen centuries later, when he was making up his own religion, removed these same books on the grounds that the Jews had. The Catholic Church indeed added in many books to the Bible, they are called the New Testament today by all Christians. The only subtractions or additions since then has been Martin Luther mutilating the Old Testament scriptures and adding words to the New Testament to support his novel teachings.
