Best Answer
A:From the Old Testament, you learn what the Hebrews believed to be their history and the history of creation. Later Jewish history is considered more or less accurate, but scholars dismiss much of The Bible's history up to and including the early monarchy. You may also find information in the Old Testament to confirm your faith if you are a Christian.

How do you explain what the New Testament to children?

You can tell them that the New Testament contains historical records about the life of Jesus and the establishment of the Christian Church. However you should also teach how the Old Testament is a record of man's history and God's dealing with mankind throughout history. In the Old Testament the nature and character of God is revealed and we learn about the relationship of God and man. You should also teach how the New Testament is a fulfillment of things foretold in the Old Testament and how the coming of Christ is another way in which God has spoken to all of mankind. The New Testament cannot be explained without reference to the Old Testament. Even themeaning of the words 'old' and 'new' 'testament' are important in explaining the New Testament

Why was Jesus crucified outside the city of Jerusalem?

In the Old Testament, God gave instructions to the jews to never use nails inside Jerusalem. This is why everything in Jerusalem is made of marble, rather than wood that requires nails. So, since a crucifixion required nails, they had to take Jesus outside of the city's gates to Golgotha. Fascinating! Right here, in three or four short lines . . . -- We learn that the forces of the Roman empire that occupied the holy land were sensitive to the instructions of the old testament, and adhered to them, apparently so as to avoid upsetting the locals. (Presumably right up until they defiled and destroyed the locals' Holy Temple of the old testament less than 50 years later.) -- We learn that it was the followers of the old testament, aka Jews, who crucified Jesus. -- We learn for the first time that crucifixion was a routine method of execution among adherents of the old testament. We didn't know this, because it isn't mentioned anywhere in the old testament, even where the methods of legal execution are explicitly listed. -- We learn for the first time that the old testament prohibits the use of mails anywhere inside Jerusalem. We didn't know this either, because we don't find it stated anywhere in the old testament.
