Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?

[Austin]

We don’t get the full picture. We don’t understand the New Tenement without the Old Testament.

[Austin]

A lack of knowledge of the Old Testament might weaken our understanding of the New Testament because we need to see how the world was in the Old Testaments to truly appreciate the new beginnings in the New Testament.

[Austin]

Like building a house, if the foundation is weak, then whatever structure is built on that foundation can never be stronger or lasting. The more we know about the Old Testament, the better we will understand and applies Jesus’ teachings tour everyday lives.

[Austin]

We should be aware of our past to perpetuate our future. A lack of knowledge brings about failure and a sure risk of continuing a dooming repetitive cycle. The Old Testament sheds light on the “whys” of the New Testament/

[Austin]

Because we would not understand or comprehend the references made by Jesus and the Disciples without its foundation.
