Best Answer

The word 'Testment' means 'Covenant.' Some Christians believe the testaments in The Bible are God's law, a book of guidlines and morals. There are two testaments in the Bible, 'Old' and 'New,' the 'Old Testament is alot older than the 'New,' hense the name. This is because some Christians believe that the Bible was written by different people, who were reached by God and given a message to share with others, so they wrote them in a big book called the 'Bible.' The Old Testament is very much God warning people not to do things, then they commit what he forbidded, and punnished the people. The New Testament is very much stories and tales, these are less intense and scary than the Old Testament.

Why do Jews find the term Old Testament offensive?

A Jewish person would consider it offensive because it could insinuate that that the Torah is no longer valid, having been replaced by something new (New Testament).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