Christians believe that the New Testament supplanted the Old Testament (Hebrews 8:13, Romans 7:6, Esphesians 2:15), yet there are also indications in the New Testament that the Old Testament laws should still be strictly followed (Matthew 5:17-18, James 2:10, Luke 24:44). It's one of many contradictions in the Bible.

theyre all true

Both are true, but for Christians the New Testament is the New Covenant. https://www.openbible.info/topics/new_covenant

Christians follow the principles in the whole Bible. We are not under the Old Covenant or Mosaic Law. (Jeremiah 31:31) Look! The days are coming, declares Jehovah, when I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant. (Hebrews 8:13) In his saying a new covenant, he has made the former one obsolete. Now what is obsolete and growing old is near to vanishing away. (Hebrews 9:15) That is why he is a mediator of a new covenant, in order that because a death has occurred for their release by ransom from the transgressions under the former covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.

Follow God..... God exists within you as you.... Get in touch.

Read James 1:5-6. Then pray and ask God. The answer may come to your mind immediately or you may be required to be patient with faith that the answer will come before it is granted. Sometimes the answer comes from the mouths of others but if it is true it will ring true in our hearts and minds as long as we live in obedience and choose to do right so we are worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost. But we are all entitled to the Light of Christ. That's the knowing right from wrong. Even small children know hurting people is wrong because it feels wrong. But the more evil one chooses to do anyway the less you will be able to see that light. The pure Light of Christ that IS AGAPE LOVE!

2 Timothy 3:16 explains that “All scripture is inspired of God and beneficial...so that every man of God may be fully competent...”. The Old Testament contains prophecies that that were fulfilled in the New Testament. It also explains God’s original purpose for humankind, the purpose of the Messiah, how we were created, the cause of human suffering and gives us beautiful descriptions of life on earth after the destruction of “the wicked one” and those under his influence. (Psa 37:10, Pro 2:22, Psa 37:28, Psa 145:20, Psa 37:34). Both parts, the Hebrew-Aramaic and the Christian Greek Scriptures, of the Bible are necessary to draw close to our God and to do his will.

All-Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction in righteousness, so that the man or woman of God can be fully equipped in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) We must read the Bible in context to know the Old Testament is followed in Judaism. Whereas, when we read the New Testament, it focuses on the Gentiles. John 10:16 "And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice. So there will be one flock, one Shepherd."

At 2 Timothy 3:16,17 we read 16 All Scripture is inspired of God+ and beneficial for teaching,+ for reproving, for setting things straight,* for disciplining in righteousness,+ 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. The Hebrew Scriptures served a purpose the bible states it was a tutor leading up to Christ 12 According to the provisions of the law that God gave Israel, regular sacrifices of bulls and goats were offered, but the continual shedding of the blood of these animals could never take away sin. (Heb. 10:4) At Galatians 3:19-25 (NW) Paul asked the question: “Why, then, the Law?” The reply is given: “It was added to make transgressions manifest, until the seed should arrive to whom the promise had been made, . . . Is the Law, therefore, against the promises of God? Never that! For if a law had been given which was able to give life, righteousness would actually have been by means of law. But the Scripture delivered up all things together to the custody of sin, that the promise resulting from faith toward Jesus Christ might be given to those exercising faith. . . . Consequently, the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith. But now that this faith has arrived, we are no longer under a tutor.” Perhaps even more pointedly, in Romans 10:4 (NW), Jehovah explains to us: “For Christ is the accomplished end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.” All the various commandments of the law time after time called the attention of the Israelites to their inability to perfectly keep God’s requirements and thus gain life. But to those who were sincere and humble of heart and mind the law taught one lesson: the need for a redeemer to reconcile them to God.,that redeemer was Jesus Christ ,when he came to the earth it was to make God’s name Jehovah known, to give his life as a ransom,and to preach the kingdom .as the only hope for mankind ,to bring peace and security to the earth which Jesus gave signs to prove we are in those very times when the kingdom under Jesus Christ will act ,to get rid of wickedness ,violence .psalms 37:9-11,29

2 Tim 3:16,17 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness,  so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

The Old testament tells us what the original purpose was for the creation of man have babies take care of the planet Earth. And then it tells us what happened when man decided to make his own rules and regulations. And then it gave the Jews some rules and regulations to live by and it proved further that man was never made to live by rules and regulations we weren't supposed to have a bunch of rules and regulations that was the whole idea don't eat from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil instead just ask God. The New testament tells us about God's plan to save us and that plan was to obey Jesus Christ and to get back to the original idea take care of the Earth take care of each other take care of the animals. But the Romans mixed their false pagan beliefs with Christian beliefs and now we have this mess that we have now there's stuff in the New testament that have been infiltrated with pagan doctrine the Old testament warns us that there would be false doctrines instituted and it tells us in advance what to look for specifically let's look at the word we call hellfire let me give you a little scripture out of the Old testament you must not teach your children that when they pass that they will go through the fire to be with the god Molech that's the God of fire by the way for such a teaching is an abomination to me it is something I did not command you to teach and it's something that will never enter my mind. So here we know in advance that the whole idea of hellfire that got put into the New testament by the Romans that's false doctrine so you look at the Old testament first to make sure that what you're reading later conforms with the original writings that God gave the Israelites and if they're different you go back to the Old testament and say no that's not what God Said so I know that it had to have been the Romans that mixed it up in the New testament

[[ Do we follow the old testament and new testament? ]] . . . The very terminology "Old Testament" and "New Testament" indicates a Christian, in which case the New Testament sort of (only "sort of") "takes precedence" over the Old Testament. From the Christian perspective, Jewish people follow the Old Testament. . . . [[ Which is the true version to follow? ]] . . . We aren't talking about different "versions" of anything. The New Testament is not a different "version" of the Old Testament. It's a completely new "testament", a completely new Covenant. Your question is similar to asking: "We have the U.S. Constitution and the Canadian Constitution. Which is the correct version to follow?"

You're not supposed to follow either! You're supposed to read the Old testament and study what happened to the men and the women in the past that obeyed God and about the ones that disobeyed God so that you'll have a good idea which one you want to be doing do you want to obey or do you want to disobey. The New testament is only for those people that want to obey God if you choose to disobey God you can stop with the Old testament and you can accept what's going to happen to you you will die and all your thoughts will vanish. If you choose to keep on living then you follow the New testament and you have the hope that after your old body dies that you will be part of the Resurrection on the planet Earth and be one of those people that helps to restore the planet Earth to a paradise condition no sickness no dying no pain lots of food no having to slave away every day every night paying somebody because God will give you a piece of land and the Earth will grow everything that you need the animals won't be dangerous anymore. There won't be disease anymore. The Bible speaks of a small amount of people that will go to heaven with Jesus Christ for the purpose of learning to govern the Earth and those people will come back with Jesus Christ to be on earth during the restoration period. It's not the purpose of God to come back to earth and burn the Earth up and take you to heaven forget that nonsense the Old testament tells you that that idea came out of the mouth of the devil! But there's still people today that believes in it and they're still teaching it. Where is your incentive to take care of the earth and your fellow human creature if God is going to come and burn up the Earth and take everybody to heaven seriously!

If it ain't broke, why fix it. Follow the original.

Old question. This is what the New Testicle, says about the Old Testicle:- Or do you not know, brothers1—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? 2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage.2 3 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. 4 Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work kin our members to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed, The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.

The Bible, in its entirety, is a sort of "journal" that records the lineage of our God's family. By saying "our God" is to say that other gods exist, but there is only one that we are commanded to pay homage to. This journal is broken into two parts - the Old Testament and the New Testament. There are laws in the Old Testament that are still valid - such as the 10 Commandments. But for the most part, we need to be concerned more with the New Testament. It doesn't have a list of specific Commandments, but it still has guidelines that should be adhered to, many of which are rather obscure to those who aren't theologically educated. The general rule of thumb to follow is, "if you believe your behavior to be wrong, then it's wrong".

Excellent question! The entire Bible is “inspired of God and beneficial.” (2 Timothy 3:​16) That includes both the Old Testament and the New Testament, as they are commonly called. Generally, Jehovah’s Witnesses refer to these sections of the Bible as the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Greek Scriptures. In this way, we avoid giving the impression that some parts of the Bible are outdated or irrelevant. Under divine inspiration, the Christian apostle Paul wrote: “All the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction.” (Romans 15:4) Thus, there is valuable information for us in the Hebrew Scriptures. Among other things, they provide relevant history and practical advice. The Hebrew Scriptures include a detailed record of creation and mankind’s fall into sin. Without that information, we would lack satisfying answers to such questions as: Where did we come from? Why do humans die? (Genesis 2:7, 17) Moreover, the Hebrew Scriptures record Jehovah God’s dealings with people who experienced joys and challenges similar to our own.​—James 5:​17. The Bible books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, which are part of the Hebrew Scriptures, contain timeless wisdom for living. They offer advice on how to enjoy happy family life (Proverbs 15:17), how to have a balanced view of work (Proverbs 10:4; Ecclesiastes 4:6), and how young people can get the best out of their youth (Ecclesiastes 11:9–​12:1). Furthermore, we can benefit from studying the Mosaic Law as recorded in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). Although that Law is not binding on Christians, it does contain valuable principles that can help us to lead a happy life.​—Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 6:​5-7.

Old/Original

The original one.

The problem with the Old Testament is nobody believes in it. Jews have their own version which is significantly different from the Christian version and Christians say Jesus's words overrule whatever the OT prophets said, especially the Laws of Moses😇. So, literally, there are no believers in the Old Testament. lol - Except Jesus who drew his teaching from the Old Testament. lol

the original

II Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” The Bible is to be taken literally whenever and wherever possible, however, when it fails to be true to fact, it is always a figure of speech. A common misconception is that the entire Bible is written to us. This is not true. archive.org/details/powerforabundant00wier/page/206 All that was written before the day of Pentecost is for our learning. Romans 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” If a believer reads the Epistles that are addressed to us (Romans through Thessalonians) and then reads the book of Acts, he will likely be beside himself with surprise and joy.

The Sacred Scriptures, as a collection from Genesis to Revelation, form one complete book, one complete library, all inspired by the one Supreme Author. They should not be divided into two parts, so that one part is given less value. The Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Greek Scriptures are essential to each other. The latter supplements the former to make the one complete book of divine truth. The 66 Bible books, all together, form the one library of the Holy Scriptures.​—Rom. 15:4. “ALL Scripture is inspired of God.” These words at 2 Timothy 3:16 identify God, whose name is Jehovah, as the Author and Inspirer of the Holy Scriptures. How satisfyingly delightful the inspired Scriptures are! What an amazing fund of true knowledge they provide! They are indeed “the very knowledge of God” that has been sought after and treasured by lovers of righteousness in all ages.​—Prov. 2:5. For more information please visit wwwjworg
