What is the New Testament and why is it important to Christian's?
The Bible is about relationship with God. Moses established the first testament - the Old Testament - when the Israelites first came out of Egypt. (Exodus 19 - 24, especially 24:8). The body of writing in the Old Testament concerns Man's relationship to God through the keeping of the Law, or Torah. Jesus established the New Testament (John 6:53 - 58, Luke 22:19,20) at the Last Supper. The body of writing in the New Testament concerns Man's relationship to God through belief in Jesus and His sacrifice for the sin all of mankind in all time. The New Testament is important to the Christians because its focus is Jesus.
How is God just?
Answer: Arguably, God is not just. The Old Testament frequently talks of God favoring the Israelites over all the other people of his creation, even causing Joshua to commit genocide in capturing the land of the Canaanites.The early Christian Gnostics could not equate the harsh and unjust God of the Old Testament with the loving God that they felt the New Testament portrayed, so they developed the belief that the Old Testament God was a different and inferior God to that of the New Testament. However, Christianity chose to continue with the monotheistic ideals of Judaism and accept that there is only one God, the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament. If the Old Testament accurately describes the Israelite interaction with God, then he is not always just.Answer: Loving His children regardless of who they are, showing us signs of comfort, giving us mercy and compassion, leading us to light, forgiving us when we have trespassed, giving us life and free will to choose in life, is how He just.
Can you say that God of the Bible is good and Demiurge is the bad God?
This is not an entirely accurate statement of the Gnostic Christian belief about the nature of God. They could not believe that the harsh and unjust God of the Old Testament was the same as the loving and forgiving God of the New Testament, so they believed there must be two gods. The God of the Old Testament became the Demiurge, while the supreme God is the God of the New Testament. Thus, God of the New Testament is good and the Demiurge, the God of the Old Testament, is the bad God.
Would you use colloquial language in a formal essay?
Colloquial means informal language, which would be like Oh my god! or using I/you/me/my anything using first person in writing.
What is the difference between the sound of God in the old testament and the sons of God in the New Testament?

Why do the Gnostics considers the god of the Bible as evil?
Many Gnostics saw the God of the Old Testament as an angry and capricious god, who demanded sacrifices, encouraged genocide and was vain, in that he demanded constant worship. They could not imagine that the God of the Old Testament could be the same god as the loving god of the New Testament. Because they could not see the Old Testament God and the New Testament God to be the same, they decided that the Old Testament God was a lesser god, who was not even aware of the New Testament God in the higher heavens. Thus, he believed himself to be the only God and the Lord of creation, but there was (in Gnostic view) a higher God. To many, it was not so much that the Old Testament God was evil, it was that he was wholly ignorant.
Why was the inter-testament period referred to as the 400 silent years?
I think the reason is God did not speak through prophets during that period, whereas the Old Testament ends with Malachi and the New Testament begins with Jesus and John the Baptist. It may simply be because the Christian Bible does not acknowledge any texts written during that time as the inspired Word of God. There was roughly a 450-year gap between the writing of Malachi and the writing of Matthew.
Why is testament called testament?
