What are the disadvantages of only reading the Old Testament?

This question can be understood in terms of reading only the Old Testament but not the New Testament, or in terms of reading only the Old Testament but nothing else that could contradict or challenge the stories and traditions portrayed in the Old Testament. For a Jew, there is no particular disadvantage in reading the Old Testament but not the New Testament, as the New Testament is not relevant to his religion. For a Christian, the disadvantage is that the books most important to his faith are in the New Testament. Anyone reading only the Old Testament and not what is now known about the history of the times and biblical scholarship on the Old Testament, the disadvantage is that the reader must take everything literally and can not have an informed view as to how literally the Old Testament should be read.

What is the Septuagint and why is important in the Christian tradition?

A:The Septuagint ('LXX') is an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, that came into widespread use in the Greek-speaking Jewish diaspora by the time of Jesus. It differs in numerous places from the Hebrew scriptures that have come down to us as the Masoretic texts, and most of the differences are attributed to faulty translation. It is important because the New Testament was written in Greek, andall the authors - even Paul - relied on the Septuagint when reading the Old Testament. Errors in the Septuagint are therefore reflected in the New Testament.


What part of the bible does the second reading come from?
