Answer 1 Christians believe that the New Testament and the New Covenant replaces the Law of Moses and the Old Covenant.

Answer 2

It depends on the sect of Christianity and the way the different sects read the New Testament. Of course, since there are many divisions within the major sects, the groupings are provided to give a general idea.

There is the perspective that the New Testament is an expansion, but not a replacement of the Old Testament. This is typically espoused by Catholics and Orthodox Christians. They see the Old Covenant as being a way that a certain group of people, the Israelites, were made holy. The New Covenant allows people outside of the Israelite tribes to be grafted into that holiness through accepting the New Covenant.

There is also the perspective that the New Testament is a replacement for the Old Testament. Christian groups that espouse this perspective are mostly Protestants. The underlying premise was that God granted holiness to one group of people, the Israelites, who failed to keep his laws. Therefore, God was required to create a New Covenant with the whole world to better bring holiness into it. This law eclipses and replaces the Old Covenant because the Old Covenant was a failure.

Moses' death is clearly narrated at the end of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the "old testament", toward the end of the 40 years' sojourn in the desert, and before the entrance into the promised land began.
