I would say that the parables and teachings of Jesus are most helpful. They outline the important values and virtues that Jesus wishes to see in us on Judgment Day. They give us a very specific map for how to inherit eternal life, which sometimes surprises us by its stress on generosity and forgiveness.
Another perspective:
The New Testament epistles also greatly help Christians understand and make practical application of Jesus' teachings. James' epistle, for just one example, might as well be subtitled, "How To Be A Good Christian."
It might be called that because in Acts, you read how Paul(Saul) changes his ways and then helps the Christians. Paul travels around parts of the Mediterranean and through parts of the Middle East so he could spread the word of Jesus.
They don't fit in with what they want to do. For example, it says you cannot work on the sabbeth (Sunday), but many Christians work on Sundays. So, they just ignore that part of the bible. It's easy to pick and choose what you want out of a book of rules and laws.
No, we now believe in practicing Christianity as it is in the Holy Bible, which didn't match with some of the worldliness that some parts of Europe fell back to.
There are two parts to the bible, the old and the new testament.
The bible chronicles Jesus's life, what Christians believe to be the beginning of the world, it lines out how Christians are supposed to pray, what they should do to enter heaven, and how to be an acceptable christian. People interpret the bible in different ways, because there can be deeper meanings to some verses. The bible is meant to be a guideline for Christians. The bible was written a very long time ago, parts of it even before Jesus was born. Some denominations of Christianity take the bible more seriously than others, and some reject the bible all together, but still claim to be Christian. Personally, I think that the bible should be followed pretty strictly, but Christianity is considered very flexible by some people. The bible provides the basis for some laws, and the ten commandments, something brought up in the book of exodus, are very important as a guideline for most Christians. The ten commandments were found by Moses on the top of Mount Sinai, and they are ten rules for Christians to follow. The actual ten commandment's whereabouts are uncertain today, but what they said was written in the bible. The bible is a symbol for Christians in what they believe in. If you're not Christian, this doesn't really apply, but I'm sure the Bible has influenced how people act, but this can never be proven. The Bible has probably indirectly influenced everyone, just as the Qur'an (Islam) does and the Vedas (Hinduism).
The bible is divided into two parts, old testament and new testament.
The old and new testaments are the two parts that make up the bible.
The bible is made up, or divided into two parts the old and new testament.
None of the parts in the bible are wrong.
The Hebrew Bible divides its books into three categories, the Torah ("Instructions"), the Nevi'im ("Prophets") (according to some Christians, essentially historical, despite the title), and the Ketuvim ("Writings").
Christians had meetings at night because they were persecuted, and they wanted their meetings to be secret. In some parts of the world, Christians are still persecuted today.
