What is the difference between Jews and Christians? Basically the religion is the same. 2000 years ago, all christians were jews. A jew believes, that God and the Holy Spirit exists. Jesus - or Messiah is the person they're expecting. They are excepting the person, christians believe have already been here. That is the main difference between those religions. So when Jesus came, some people chose to go on with their old beliefs, and keep on waiting for Messiah(Those were the Jews), and some chose to believe that Jesus was the expected Messiah(Those were the Christians). So if Jesus never came to earth, then the new testament never would have been written, and all jews would still be jews. No one would teach a new religion (christianity) about Jesus. If you google: What is christianity based on You'll find several answers that look like: Jesus blah blah blah.. If christianity is based on Jesus, then it is based on the new testament. Because Jesus did not exist in the old testament. Jesus is what christianity is based on - therefore christianity is based on new testament, not the entire bible. (actually only the four first books in the bible, the Gospels, which tells the story of Jesus Christ) Side: Yup

I'm a Christian and I believe in the facts of the old Testament... the thing is, some of it is opinions of the bigshots of the time and therefore 'has to be taken with a pinch of salt' as my mum says (that means that you shouldn't believe everything because some things in there are not true). Most of it is historical documentation and therefore is perfectly believable... the other half is rather dubious. Side: Yup

I believe Christians still believe the old testament since there are certain scenarios in the new testament that would not be understood without the new testament. Such example would be King David. It was said that Jesus would come from the line of David so that certain element in the new testament would not be understood if one does not know the old testament. Another would be the the transfiguration of Jesus. In mount Sinai Moses and Elijah appear before him. Thus proving the old testament as fundamental. To put it short the Old testament signifies the promise and the new testament is the fulfillment of that promise. May I ask the moderator to state the reasons in which your statement is assumed true. I am just curious on your thoughts. Side: I didn't know that?!!
