Does The New Testament Completely Rule Out The Significance Of The Old Testament

Does the new testament completely rule out the significance of the old testament?As some people just focus more on the new testament and maybe once in a while make references to the old testament!

  I think those who simply focus on the NT are missing out on a whole lot. There's so much to be learned from the OT, couple of which are the many prophecies made in the OT we see fulfilled in the NT. How would we know unless we read the OT?
There are many stories of the miracles and wonders that God did. We see a side of God and the greatness of His power in stories like the crossing of the red sea, the great flood, the plauges, the battles, making the sun stand still and go back etc . . .we have a glimpse in the OT to a God beyond imagination.
 One of the greatest points is that we see the difference between the old covenant and the new one we have through Jesus Christ. The purpose of the Law was to show us our need for Jesus. Thus having a knowledge of the past and how things were, we can better understand and appreciate what Jesus did for us on the cross. We are under grace as made possible by the death of Christ. . . a very different and an infinitely better system than the old folks had.
 
 there are many more points but I'm sure my fellow NLder's will add them.

Jesus during his ministry on earth never oneday invalidate the OT, rather he said "think not that i am come to destroy the law, or the prophets{prophetic writings or prophecies}: i am not come to deatroy, but to filful. For verily, verily i say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one title shall not in no wise pass from the law,till all be filfuled. Whosoever therefore shall teach break one of these commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Mtt5:17.

Jesus is not talking about the NT here but the OT. The NT is commentary of the OT.
Jesus "it is written" was not refering to NT but OT.

You can't build something on nothing, The NT is empty without the OT. The OT was written through christ command. "All scriptures{OT & NT}is given by inspiration of God" 2Timothy 3:16

I think the history of the new testament is very shady. Early Christians who met with Jesus weren't worshipping him but Paul and the others began the doctrine that was believed to wipe away the truth. Christians no offence. Has anyone of you read the Gospel of Barnabas? His Gospel was probably before Paul's and he was an apostle to Jesus.
Paul never encountered Jesus face to face while he(Jesus) was alive except his claim that Jesus appeared to him even after his death. Barnabas' Gospel is the truth considering Jesus. And people(Christians) who believed in it were prosecuted.
The Church destroyed any link relating to the Gospel of Barnabas and became a strong advocate for Paul's false doctrine.

Therefore my conclusion is that the New testament most Christians believe in is not what Jesus himself preached. And God confirmed the Old testament changed in some parts in order to fit the rabbis' illegitimate means.

Why not believe in the Ko'ran and stop contemplating on which should be considered or not. That will surely save you from an awful doom.

I wonder what Exodus 21:17 say?

THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE OLD TESTAMENT REVEALED

To them hath understanding let him understand.

The questioner is asking that the exodus verse be thoroughly explained, pastor. Your asking question gives us an impression that you are trying to deflect your religious responsibility to us laypersons of nairaland. Please explain, instead of hidig behind a single finder of your hand!

I am not deflecting anything or hiding anywhere or trying to start an argument. I just do not see how the verse connects with or relates to this thread. If it does maybe Huxley can do us a favor and expatiate.

Regarding the exodus vers, this is what it says:
"Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.

It's a law of God under the old covenant. It does not apply today because we are under the new covenant. If you disagree with this youre on your own because I ain't getin into no useless argument with no moouslim. Because at the end of all the typing and rambling we still would not agree with each other.

the forum changed the word mooslims to great ones.  why?

 
Still parading your puerile, false arguments around? The NT is OT prophecy revealed, both are as relevant to the average christian today as they were 2000yrs ago.
