They sucked it out of their thumbs at the Council of Nicaea.
False. The Hebrew Scriptures form what Christians know as the Old Testament.
The "Old Testament" is called that only by Christians. The first five books are the Torah, then there is the Nevi'im, or Prophets; and finally the Ketuvim, or Writings. These make up the holy scriptures for the Jews.

The Scriptures.
Being that most of Christ's teachings were based on the Hebrew writings, early Christians referred to the Jewish TaNaK, which is the Hebrew Bible. Many of the different books of the New Testament were originally written and published separately, so many early Christians added them to their Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, called the Septuagint. It wasn't until the books of the New Covenant, or the New Testament, were beginning to be canonized into an organized Christian bible, with the books of the TaNaK at it's basis, when the Hebrew texts were seen as the Old Testament.

Judaism is founded on the Torah, augmented by the Prophets and Writings, all written in Hebrew. In translation, they are circulated throughout the Christian world under the title "Old Testament".
Moses did not specifically mention Jesus in the scriptures. The concept of Jesus as the Messiah and Savior emerged later in the New Testament writings.
Jesus Christ, and he also is the principle theme in the Old Testament, though his name is not mentioned. Please see Luke 24.27: 27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

The Bible is a collection of sacred texts and scriptures that form the foundation of the Christian faith. It is divided into the Old Testament, which includes texts from before the birth of Jesus Christ, and the New Testament, which focuses on the life and teachings of Jesus and the early Christian church. The Bible is considered by believers to be the inspired word of God and provides guidance on matters of faith and morality.
The New Testament writers believed that God's word was inspired and authoritative. They saw their own writings as a means to convey God's message and teachings to others. They sought to faithfully communicate the message of Jesus Christ and the principles of the Christian faith through their writings.
The main concerns of the Non Gospel writings of the Christian Testament include doctrinal teachings, ethical guidelines for Christian living, addressing specific issues within early Christian communities, and providing theological insights on the nature of God, Christ, and salvation. These writings also aim to inspire and encourage believers in their faith journey.
Not at all like his wicked father. He found the Old Testament scriptures and as a young King did his best to follow the writings. A good man.

I think the person asking the question meant to say OldTestament. Neither the Old nor the New Testament was called that until they were compiled as the Bible in the late 14th century.
In Jewish tradition, there are three categories in the Old Testament: the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. In the Christian Old Testament, we have the books of the law, the books of history, the books of poetry, the major prophets, and the minor prophet. There are 39 books in the Old Testament.
