A Jewish person would consider it offensive because it could insinuate that that the Torah is no longer valid, having been replaced by something new (New Testament).

Usually, Jews do not find the term Old Testament offensive, just inapt. The Old Testament is different from the Jewish Bible or Tanakh in that it has additional books, a different order to the books, different translations of key words (usually in support of Christology) and additional material in certain books. As a result, the Jews prefer to say that they read the Tanakh than that they read the Old Testament.

What is the main Christian sacred text and how is this different from what is considered the Hebrew Bible?

The Christian Holy Book is the Bible. The primary difference between the Christian Bible and the Jewish Bible is the addition of the New Testament, which fundamentally alters the relationship between God and his Creation. Additionally, the Old Testament is a rearranged version of the Jewish Bible and resorts to translations of texts and material additions not present in the Jewish Bible.
